Dissent is a powerful and useful thing.
If you feel this is article is a lie and part of a wider political strategy, then present your case. Making sweeping statements without context or reason will not win you friends on HN.
FYI HN doesn't control the links, its users post links and vote on them.
- davidw 14y agoPolitical articles are off topic on Hacker News.
- andrewfelix 14y agoFirstly, this is not a political article per se. It has political connotations like most things, including hacking. Secondly, it most certainly "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- davidw 14y ago> Secondly, it most certainly "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Does it really? It looks to me much more like an article meant to engender outrage at something injust in the world. Note: I'm not saying I don't agree with the outrage, just that it's very much about something highly political and I feel it does not belong here.
- fossuser 14y agoEven worse the quality of comments are very similar to reddit or at least reddit during its decline. These types of political articles are what usually work their way in first as the site degrades.
