alt Hacker NewsThe amount of times I've seen HN decry EU regulation or talk about Chinese state repression would contradict that statement.
HN doesn't like political discussion that doesn't align with what they would like to see become the prevailing ideology.
What is considered political and what isn't is a political decision in itself.
There are tens of thousands of people here, across a wide variety of political opinions.
Judging by your profile, you’re an overtly politics-focused person that’s been reading HN for 7 months.
I wouldn’t ascribe broad political opinions to HN, other than the general cultural dislike of political discussion, in the most broad sense.
