Why the heck is this 600+ comment thread not on the front page?

Thanks, bookmarking this.
Probably penalized due to political themes being discouraged on HN.

Which is IMO a bad decision. You can ignore politics, but politics won't ignore you.

Kirk's murder itself made the front page ... so we clearly don't always ignore politically adjacent topics here
We're apolitical when it: A) doesn't matter, or B) it serves the interest of the tech bro hustle culture. We're political when: it serves the tech bro hustle culture
Especially with how tech companies and tech billionaires influence politics.
Because this site is owned by and operated for the benefit of a handful of powerful individuals who greatly desired these events.
Because it is off topic, as the descent of the US into fascism will not impact the tech sphere in any way whatsoever.

Do I even need the sarcasm mark?

Do you not know who owns this site, and who their friends are?

This is not where the revolution would be. Ever.
