HN is exceptionally left-leaning. The only reason posts like that get downvoted is because it signals some kind of moral posturing that is completely irrelevant/unearned and exceptionally negative. It also comes across as lazy when people try to discuss some nuanced topic and a poster just blankets the conversation with the same old cliched anti-imperialist anti-“West” rhetoric while adding nothing of substance other than a wiki link. It’s senseless. Go drill some wells in Africa if you want to help, your lazy “advocacy” is just annoying when spouted at people who don’t hold any responsibility for those events and frankly don’t care.
