Please don't take HN threads further into political or nationalistic flamewar. Perhaps the GP was provocative, but on HN the idea is not to take provocation and definitely not to blow it up much larger.

People with passionate politics usually perceive Hacker News as favoring their enemies. This is a cognitive bias: the comments we dislike make a stronger impression than the comments we agree with, so it feels like the community is against us. In reality, it's a large community with a wide spectrum. The people with opposite politics notice the opposite comments and so have the opposite picture of HN. Here are some examples from what I assume is the opposite side to yours:

The mental gymnastics in this thread, yeesh. "The U.S. should leave and stop interfering!" and "The U.S. should stay and help the Kurds!" are not simultaneously possible.

I'm confused. You seem to be describing two groups of people disagreeing. How is that mental gymnastics?

No, the same people who argue one often argue the other

Poland and Turkey are both NATO allies. That should count for a bit more than being incidental pawns for CIA / State Dept. interventionism, no? In fact, the reputation of those latter arms of our government is so deep in the dumpster at this point that I cannot believe anyone who becomes entangled with them can claim naivety. This idea that the USA has a deep obligation to a handful of communist ethnic militias in th…

The US arming and approving the actions of the oppressor for a genocide is very much a potential outcome here. It’s worth preventing that possibility.

More important that you don't lose an argument on the internet than realize you're unwittingly defending innocent people being murdered.

So you can lie as much as you want as long as your agenda is justified? That is why I am saying stick to facts and do not resort to slogans.
