Banned for pointing out that you are lying about your moderation policy, nice!

Predictably, this story, despite almost a thousand upvotes, is nowhere to be found on HN front page. Daily reminder that HN is a commercial entity and works hard to avoid annoying their potential business partners.

And none of them is on the front side, despite the upvotes.

HN is owned by YCombinator. They must not annoy their (potential) business partners.

So it's like modern laptops? ;-)

Same, but it also reminds me of another thing: I think it was the Solaris format(1M) utility; instead of the usual “y/n” question before performing a destructive action it said something like “will proceed with overwriting XXX in 15 seconds; press ^C to abort”.

Well, no, most people don’t realize US is using slave labor. Most people believe China does, though, despite no proofs. Sadly, people are still quite disconnected from verifiable reality.

And here we have another cornerstone of the racist hate speech - substituting “Chinese” with “CCP”, same way they used to replace “Jews” with “Zionism”.

The problem with American shills like the above is they don’t understand the difference between what they consciously (want to) believe - like them not being racist - and what they actually do believe subconsciously, eg that anyone who points out their shilling is some “Chinese comment farm”.

At the same time many Americans don’t quite believe non-Americans are proper humans. See how they justify invading other countries. Or how any comment critical of US gets flagged as “Chinese comment farm”.
