Discussing politics is generally discouraged.
But now, tech is political. Big Tech—FAANG and others—have become political blocs, in some cases more powerful than national governments. SpaceX is vital to Ukraine, for example.
So how do we talk about this?
We need to consider the influence and direction tech leaders are pushing toward (Private Cities?).

You can talk about it on many, many sites across the web. You will soon find that talking politics is useless. You're not going to convince anyone that they are wrong, just as their arguments will not alter your view. It is a waste of electrons.
Still, many sites welcome it as it generates traffic for their ad revenue. Keep users engaged in heated 'debates', to eek out a few cents more.
Please, keep politics out of HN. Let's keep this site reasonably sane, whatever that means.
Like if you were a nuclear scientist, and wanted to talk to other nuclear scientist, while developing the bomb. And wanted to go beyond discussing the latest formula/experiment, and wanted to talk about the politics of what you're building. While building it.
