I’m seeing a way larger than usual amount of political posts making the HN frontpage without flagging.

I’m not complaining, to be clear. As a non American, I wonder if it signals a shift in thinking from the users?

You could instead wonder if, thinking remaining the same, events are evaluated as having special significance.

I think it’s more of a change in material circumstances. It’s not really “political” to be informed about the realities of entering a country.

The current course of the US heavily influences its future progress in science and technology.

Or should I say regression?
