>and there are no curious perspectives being shared or interesting questions being aske

There is only one right perspective, and really no interesting questions to be asked. Please stop pretending otherwise.

I don't disagree (in that I can't think of one either), but that makes this a terrible subject for an HN thread. We have other forums for collectively bemoaning the state of the world, we don't need that to spread to here. It's poisoning other threads in a really toxic way.

Curiosity and interesting questions won't have any future in the trump world. So yes, this is very relevant to the HN community. Doing nothing is also a choice which has consequences.

Dismissing this event though when the toxicity is right there on display feels like a passive response for a community as active as HN.
