I wish this were enforced broadly. Tired of seeing politics on the front page. I come here to avoid that crap.

Well, I quite enjoy getting this community's perspective on current events and political topics. I wish more people would care about the ways these things intersect with their areas of interest and expertise. One man's crap, I guess!

Can you describe what your idea of a “hacker” and their associated interests might be?
I come here for a fresh perspective on a lot of things, politics being one of them. When techbros hook themselves deeply into the government, entirely bypassing the political system, gaining unchecked power without any representation to back it up, I’d think it’s well inside a hacker’s interests.

At least, they pwned the government very thoroughly.

Yes, 100%.
