Sure sucks when a loud contingency of people claim that everything is political, donut?

This website is weird. Anecdotally I've noticed it tends to generally be more level-headed and non toxic than other websites I go on (mainly reddit...) yet at the same time the mods seem to be pretty polarized

I left reddit about a month ago after having been on there for years, substituting in healthier habits like running, listening to music, and meditation when I need a break, and have been much happier as a result. HN is pretty good like 75 percent of the time but yeah there are occasionally hiccups like the comment from OP that make it through.

Probably just a conservative.

What is “social problems” (mentioned in the comic) if not politics?

Homelessness.

Poverty.

Addiction.

Spousal Abuse.

Sexual Abuse.

Etc.

A: "Let's attempt to solve poverty, addiction, spousal abuse, and sexual abuse."

B: "Why do you have to make everything political?"

Do you even know what social problems are?

Usually it refers to criminality, drug use (including opioid epidemics), violence, poverty and so on. How you managed to turn it into conservatives are victim here point is mystery.
