One of the reasons I use HN is because of the No Political or Ideological fights rule (because I know I can't stop commenting from time to time even though I'd rather live a life without this crap). I wish rules were here to be enforced, not as guidelines hardly anyone follow.
This isn’t political though, it’s social. Unless political to you means anything related to the way society is structured and people relate to each other.
This is absolutely political, in that any conversation about Israel's foreign or domestic policy ends up an argument falling along political lines.
There's several posts already excusing the blog post because it aligns politically with the poster's own views (in this case, that all Jews have collective guilt for Israel's policy.)
Since it include both political and ideological fights in the guidelines it doesn't really matter. It definitely fits this thread. Added ideological to OP.
EVERYTHING is political, when involving more than 1 person.
The DMCA is political, and is the basis in which most orgs allow public comment. Copyright is political. Patents are political. Cryptocurrency is explicitly political WRT being against governments. Most startups are political, in the way many break laws that the incumbents have to follow.
The people who "dont want to involve with politics" are primarily the ones whose needs are met, and don't care about others' needs. I would claim it's for selfish reasons.
