The distinction isn't tech/notech. That's the most important thing to understand about this whole site!

I do think the purely political forum that a minority of users here seem to want, would best be served by a different site.

The very niche "I want to argue politics, but only with other hackers" site!

Which only applies to part of HN readers; from reading the comments here, many hackers appear to dislike the political arguments which take places on HN.

Privacy issues, opinions on hiring practices, etc. are all topics that have heavy polarized sides with little to bridge the divide and would likely benefit from a shift in separating those topics from the solidly tech related ones.

Although, to be honest, I'm more concerned with the fact you are oblivious to this than I am about the fact you call change ignorance. I guess it does not really matter, I'll be off HN for a long while.
