> Fuck if I understand why people like JohnStrange, revelation and ryanlol are downvoted The Hacker News community largely gets its non-hacker news from CNN, the NYT, HuffPo, etc. As mainstream US media parrots whatever the FVEY IC tells them to, it's not surprising that most HN voters end up uncritically believing the Russia-Is-Evil narrative from the same IC that conducted MKULTRA and sold us a war predicated on the lie that Saddam was loaded up with WMDs. Downvoting any and all dissent from CIA psyops is the natural consequence of this. Because, patriotism, or something.
