as has become more and more obvious over recent years in particular, technology and politics are intrinsically linked. Most obvious was always when topics like Urbit come up on HN. People's political and social views influence the technologies they built, be it clubhouse, or bitcoin or Parler. Even if the designers themselves may not even be aware of it.
Okay I guess there's some exceptions, some dashboard tool isn't very political, but then again commenting on it is also not very interesting probably for that reason.
