YEs, as another commenter pointed out. It IS a targetted campaign.....directly in line with the posted site rules.

Political posts which devolve into flame wars are not welcome here. Wether or not it will devolve into a flame war is not even a question.

Dang has avery difficult job, let's use our brains before accusing him of...following the clearly stated rules.

While it's true that these posts are political, our political climate is in a unique situation. You can no longer avoid politics, regardless of how much you hide. Even we, who are fairly wealthy techies, can no longer turn a blind eye.

Yes, it sucks that even the most mundane aspects of our lives are being fraught with political warfare. The current administration appears to have a desire to burn the world down.

I mean, look around you. Can we talk about EVs without being political? What about LLMs? What about the American tech industry? We used to be able to. It's no longer possible.

I would be overjoyed to go back to thinking about politics as much as I did in the 90s where you could go for ages with no negative changes in your life.
