>Similar comments also come up in the [now regular] "I don't want to see political articles on HN" threads, and I think the response is similar: Asking for "no politics" is itself a strong political view: One in support/service of whatever the current status quo is.

Before I respond to your comment, allow me first to acknowledge the following injustices happening in the world:

* war in gaza

* war in ukraine

* civil war in sudan

* civil war in yemen

* civil war in myanmar

* ethnic violence in syria

* insurgent attacks in nigeria

* insurgent attacks in congo

* attacks on protesters in Iran

...

Wait, what's that? You don't want every comment to start with some sort of land acknowledgement-esque disclaimer of all injustices happening in the world? What are you, some sort of gaza war/ukraine war/sudanese civil war/ ... sympathizer? Tens, if not hundreds of millions have been affected by the event listed above, so at the very least you can spare a thought for them before discussing about some text editor getting compromised? You might argue acknowledging the war in gaza is beating a dead horse, but do you think the median HN reader has thought about the civil war in myanmar in the past month?
