Insightful takes on topics outside of IT and maybe natural/applied sciences are probably actually rare in HN. It is at least my impression on these few areas I have some expertise. Topics related to culture and stuff most people in the world don't have any experience with (violent dictatorships for example) are genuinely hard to explain even for people with real insight and knowledge. And regarding trolls in HN: this topic here is also full of comments "it's all fake", "where is the proof?" etc. It's the tactics troll factories used for years in every corner of the world. It's one of the main methods to erode the trust in societies. So, are these comments from trolls or from genuine smartasses? I don't really know.
