Exactly. I can just imagine the HN commenters with flagging/modding ability back in 1939 Germany flagging all the unpleasant discussions and urging commenters to focus on recent automotive innovation and the exciting advances in television technology, and not bring "politics" into everything.

Honestly I'd have been ok with that back then, and I'd be more than ok with it now. There are so many places to have political discussions. Pretty much everywhere else. The problem is that people can't discuss politics without getting negative, judgmental, and emotional about it. Can we not have one place to discuss tech without all that?
