Hard call, but I think an occasional story related to politics may be ok if it is about some kind of major event that transcends politics-- just as a story about technology might occasionally appear in a magazine about politics if it is an important enough story.

Politics is so polarizing and so destructive for a community (since it involves hard divisions into camps) so I think that this is a wrong forum to consume and promote stories such as this.

I do agree that political theory/philosophy articles are pertinent and good reads... if they offer some insight. But this video is blatant demagogy. Is that really worth wasting your time on?

PS: This is exactly the type of stuff that caused reddit to degenerate so quickly.

That really depends on the community. I hate sounding un-democratic, but I sense there is a very clear division between people consumed by nationalism or screaming over rhetoric, and the people who want to understand the political process with the same motivation as understanding any complex system.

I have a sense news.YC has much more of the latter.
