> Also drop the identity politics

Incredible how valueless identity politics has become as a phrase, other than as a way to signal disagreement.

> The truth of the matter is the West provoked a war through utter inept diplomacy and they are making things worse every day.

“The world isn’t black and white. Anyways, I am going to blame one party alone for a geopolitical disaster. If you disagree you’re either wrong or doing identity politics”.

> As someone else commented it's like we have children at the wheel. The sad part is even a large part of HN is just towing the party line blindly.

Valueless ad hominem.
