Please don't post generic comments and/or ideological flamebait to HN. It leads to generic threads and/or ideological flamewars, which we're trying to avoid because they're tedious and turn nasty.

oh ok, professionals have standards

my bad !

I will elaborate and be "more thoughtful and substantive" as written in the guidelines, next time

I didn't know where to place the cursor, since the issue was inherently politic and not about technology, as the article states

But this article deserved political comments, nonetheless

Political comments are ok if they're thoughtful and substantive (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). When they turn shallow and low-information, they become flamebait. We're trying to avoid that, and we're especially trying to avoid the repetitive battles they usually escalate into.
