Yes, it's what many hackers would do, and have done, and HN has had, and does have, many threads about that kind of thing.

I realize these distinctions get lost when people are feeling heated, but HN has never been an apolitical site and we don't describe it that way. There are more options than just (1) being apolitical and (2) being completely aflame. Not that they're easy squares to occupy.
