Aside the topic, but I wonder how HN, as a community, and as a moderation team, weighs this on the intellectual curiosity vs primarily politics scale.

This seems politics to me. Very important politics that a lot of people in tech have a special interest for, but politics nonetheless, and much more pressing topics seem to be absent through the on-topic rule.

That rule is ... kind of nonsense anyways.

One can't be intellectually curious and not think about politics. Politics is applied intellectual curiosity.
