Hacker News is pretty much far right when it comes to politics. Heck the moderators refused to allow any criticism of the monarchy when the queen died but allowed it when Jimmy Carter died.

Criticizing someone during their funeral is in pretty poor taste regardless of your political leanings.

They refused any criticism of the institution itself in addition to the person. But for carter criticism of him and his politics were fair game.

Not necessarily always far-right, but almost obsessively anti-establishment.
