“Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.”

- neilv 2y agoThe term of art I've heard in English (a little different than the exact term they used) is appropriate to their point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot But maybe impolitic to mention this theory, at least with this term. Many have already heard this theory, and many who have not could be offended by the term itself.
- ForTheKidz 2y agoi mean that's fine, but that applies to about 20% of the posts on this forum. Way more than that if you acknowledge the various ideologies baked into american VC culture.
