I wonder why this submission is flagged though, did we anger the woke?

I think DEI/affirmative action is immoral, but I can also acknowledge that the topic tends to result in too much low-quality political spite in the comments.

But is there a wider problem if people stop discussing controversial but very important topics on the Internet in general? Can something be done to fence off the low quality comments, without removing them? Instead of outright banning political controversy?
