It's a great idea, but I'm sorry it had to come to life. It strongly reminds me of the situation in Europe decades ago, even from the Cold War era, when we had communist Czechoslovakia.

"We're all living in America" – as Rammstein nailed it, and Americans seem to think the world revolves around their backyard. I don't get how a local political activist app like this fits a tech startup platform like PH. Any other cases like this? Haven't seen one in my year here.
Well @vorniches I think you missed these then @Stand with Israel Widge @We Stand With Ukraine Website Badge @Justin Trudeau Clown Generator Definitely, not related to tech but yeah sometimes Product Hunt does get political :/
@vorniches @sidraarifali There's nothing wrong with having tech become political. Everything in your life and everything in tech happens because one way or the other politics allow it or disallow it. Your whole life revolves around politics. Your pension, your healthcare, your school, the roads you drive one, what's being sold in the supermarket, what the law allows you to can or cannot eat, the artists that are allowed to perform in your country for your concerts, the kind of fuel that goes into your car, the bicycle paths or the lack there off your ride your bikes on, the size of your ticket when you speed, everything. To be upset that tech is trying to help people in a political sense, whether you agree to it or not, is absurd. Your whole life is dictated by politics, even if you don't vote or vote for the wrong person/party.
