The USA is a superpower. Superpowers have units dedicated to information warfare. Some of these units deal with controlling discourse and sentiment. HN is a fairly prominent public forum within the tech industry. The USA wants global influence, particular in the technology sector.
It's reasonable to assume they probably have some fairly clever downvote rings here that are well hidden.

My original comment already said as much, no need to mirror of my original comment in condescending fashion with minor changes, as if it's somehow profound. The key difference is how the capabilities are used. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's fair to assume the U.S. military isn't going around suppressing speech that criticizes say, the United States' woefully broken system of incarceration.
