The moderators do not have an effective solution for wumamos. Discussion of China isn't really worth it under these circumstances. There's no room for "intellectual curiosity" in regards to some issues. China tops that list. HN's apolitical stance amounts to discouraging discussion in regards to dissenting views. Like other voting based sites, there is an implicit endorsement of the dominant narratives. Presenting this as curiosity seems like a bit of a stretch. Perhaps this could be changed by ranking contentious comments and threads differently. Disputed information is a feature of the horizon. Ideally people wouldn't down-vote those who they disagree with, but here we are. Even if there were a disagree button, wumaos act in bad faith by definition.
