This is media in action. Confuse and gaslight folks so that they stand to accept people like Trump and Elon musk.

> as if helping destroy an autocratic terror regime that killed thousands of Americans through the years is "dirty”?

> How come HN became so extreme left it can't understand this is a good thing?

Good Thing? How deranged are you to say something without proof and accuse others of a being left, when people are being normal.

> Ignoring politics has its way of coming back to haunt you. Back then this was an unpopular take.

Right now, we cannot and should not. Even if you ignore, you are getting dragged into without your choice. See: the bribes paid by the companies.

At this moment, I think we should have politics in left, right and center of our workplaces and life discussions everywhere. If you are not explicit with your stance then you are going to dragged along without your choice.

This is reflection of corruption in the system that you cannot escape. No one is calling out Trump on his corruption, illegal use of powers and pathetic behavior, killing of people and setting up world war 3. And we call out others. We need to stay strong. If it comes to world war 3, we all lose.
