- HappyDreamer 8y agoI'd say this is on topic for HN, for people who haven't seen that kind of manipulation previously. From the guidelines: "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" -- yes this post does this, for me. And maybe not for you and others who have seen this kind of manipulation before already.
- AmericanChopper 8y agoI’m sorry, are you talking about the facebook account with 129 connections, or the magazine with 29,000,000 readers? There are millions of political groups on Facebook. What makes this one different from the SPLC or the UCLA? They all have quite clear political agendas. As a European, perhaps you don’t understand the concept, but freedom of expression comes with a responsibility to think for yourself.
