Anytime China shows up on hacker news I get the distinct impression that two well funded troll farms are slugging it out, downvoting and flagging the enemy and upvoting their own side. It’s like watching 2 AIs playing civilization with each other, mindlessly sending forth wave after wave of clubmen in an endless war of attrition that goes nowhere.
Poor saps who try to express a nuanced view get attacked by both sides. But we know that the Chinese government does this, and we know that certain organizations like turning point USA do this, although of course I don’t know if either of those groups are active on HN.
