SV echo chamber is on your side here - it is very in vogue to denounce anglocentrism. they were defending hieroglyphs and emoji in variable names in that thread about invisible javascript backdoor a day or two ago if you'd like a recent example

Could you please stop posting ideological battle comments to HN? We ban accounts that do that, regardless of their ideology, because it's (a) not what this site is for, and (b) destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Agreed.

But Hacker News should do something about all of the anti-bitcoin and anti-anti-nuclear ideologies running around in here.

I don't really mind it that much but it'd be nice, it's really the only 2 extremisms I've experienced here, all other subjects are discussed in a fair manner.

I appreciate informed discussion about bitcoin & nuclear, as both topics are highly relevant to the technical, business, and hacker roots of HN. They seem distinctly different from, say, "anglocentrism" @dang was calling out.

There's no such thing as fair discussion about those topics here.

What does "fair" mean in this usage? If it means one position attracts a lopsided balance of comments either for or against then surely that's always going to be the case?

Otherwise what is your proposition, don't state any opinion unless you find a counter opinion commenter to match with?

Lots of folk here are pro-privacy and lots of folk are anti-bitcoin (and some of them will be the latter because they're the former) so I don't understand how you'd extended your position in a way that leaves HN with any value.
