Ask HN: Hacker News but for culture and politics?

My recommendation is to check out economics blogs and newsletters. I am a big fan of Noah, and there are a ton of great ones on Substack: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.noahpinion.blog&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.noahpinion.blog&#x2F;</a><p>Why do I like these?<p>It switches the discussion to the impact and cost to society. This removes it from being a belief system and shifts it more to taking action and justifying it with data.<p>For example, if you want to build a wall across the USA &#x2F; Mexico better, don&#x27;t talk about why you believe that is important... let&#x27;s talk about costs of building a wall of that size; let&#x27;s talk about how effective it is based on data from areas with walls, let&#x27;s talk about how much immigrants power the USA and contribute to our economy using data, let&#x27;s talk about how we build houses without immigrants, let&#x27;s talk about crime stats showing that immigrants commit less crime than non-immigrants, let&#x27;s talk about how we can expand legal immigration to create more jobs for everyone, etc...<p>The comment section on Noah&#x27;s Substack is great.

Those topics don&#x27;t exactly mix with polite discussion. But I&#x27;m here for it if such a place does exist.

Politics and culture represent people&#x27;s world view. That makes unemotional discussion very difficult.

Find a small fediverse server on the topics. Lots of niche corners to explore<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fediverse.party&#x2F;en&#x2F;portal&#x2F;servers&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fediverse.party&#x2F;en&#x2F;portal&#x2F;servers&#x2F;</a>
