Look in a thread where China is mentioned and you'll see the real face of many HN'ers - if they aren't removed before you see it. Luckily the MOD'ing is pretty good.
- skinnymuch 3y agoI don’t understand. China is just a country. Real face? Usually I feel like the problem with HN is that every one assumes they are right or that everything is mostly subjective except the few things they view as objective. Then if you aren’t civil you are somehow wrong. Finally, if you’re espousing far left or far right opinions, you get a bad reception. Unfortunately since most people aren’t experts on most things, this turns into a bunch of fugazi. People who are financially or academically successful in business or engineering or marketing think they understand politics too. This is what happens with topics like China. I don’t care about China much. So I end up defending it because the negativity towards it by the Global North is staggeringly inconsistent.

- skinnymuch 3y agoOkay. Anything of substance?
- JohnFen 3y agoIt was just a humorous way of agreeing with the point you were making. Sorry to bother you.
- skinnymuch 3y agoInteresting. How were you agreeing with me? This doesn’t make sense.
