Why is this even on HN? Leave this stuff to google news. The great part of HN is that it’s an amazing space for tech news, rather than political, sociological, or world news.

Deviations like this just bring down the original purpose and integrity of going to HN.

As per guidelines, wouldn’t this be considered “off topic”?

“ Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.”

So don't click on it? I respect your opinion, it's a common one on this site, but I don't see how it's any different than a post about a technology you're not interested in.

See my second comment as per the guidelines of HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The argument is the type of content, not the content itself. This content falls into mainstream events which would be against HN guidelines.
