Your overt racism is perhaps 70 years out of date. Plenty of people expressed the same doubts in 1950, with good reason. There hadn’t been any examples of successful democracies outside of a handful of countries. But to repeat the same racist canards in 2022 is shameful. You ignore the evidence of 70 years of successful democracy in tens of countries around the world. Democracy backsliding is a recent worldwide pheno…

Could you please explain this apparent Indian in-joke for us in the rest of the world? It would make understanding your concerns easier and would give us an interesting sight of what happens around the world instead of just spreading hush-hush conspiracy theories.

These people regularly mobilize to discover and shut down critical commentary anywhere on the Internet. The commenter is saying that HN is often subjected to these devotees’ campa…

Typical propaganda by a Modi hating, American owned and Soros funded rag. They can’t beat Modi at polls - so one day we have Jan 6 style Maidan Color revolution to overthrow Modi, next they try to get him lynched on Jan 5 in Punjab by blocking his motorcade for 20 minutes near the Pakistani border. These so called reporters are inimical toward India, write incendiary lies and collaborate with Pakistan, Jihadis and So…

OP - don’t take it personal if this thread is flagged and removed from the front page. Yes, it is interesting and yes it has a fascinating tech angle to it. Especially interesting for me is how easily subverted social media is with the right tech. But you know who this is indirectly critical of even if he is not mentioned. There are enough devotees of that person on HN that every thread tangentially involving him bec…

Please don't take HN threads further into political (or, god help us, religious and racial) flamewar and especially not generic flamewar tangents. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

We had to warn you about this just recently. Continuing to break the rules will eventually get you banned here, so please stop doing that.

Sorry Dan G. I will try to be more self-restrained and careful in future. (And less pointless-ly emotional. Putting my emotions on here is the most unproductive thing, I know. And yet I do it.)
