well, if the US does, why wouldn't other governments?

I guess everyone has forgotten wikileaks and Snowden already.

First, this is grandiose to the point of silly, and second you definitely can't break the site guidelines like this. I've banned the account. Please don't create accounts to break HN's guidelines with, or to do cloak and dagger routines.

Why do you need an alt to post this? That's more fishy than anything else around here.

Sorry, like Fassbender’s erroneous three sign in the bar, your corps joke a little while ago betrays you. Regardless of education level every American knows how to pronounce corps. Because of the Marine Corps. You should have claimed to be interested in American politics but someone who learned English as a second language, perhaps a Western European.

You’re burnt, bro. Nearly your entire comment history is related to the foreign policy priorities of China with just enough testing thereof to make your position plausible. Pack it up and start over.

It’s interesting that I didn’t say what you were and you’ve defended a specific allegation. Intriguing, that. I also like the idea that someone “whiter than mayonnaise” would opine that China will never invade Taiwan. Is anyone “whiter than mayonnaise” certain of that at all? Press X to doubt.

This is impressively unhinged.

None of that guy's posts are unusual for anyone to the left of the Democratic Party, and the 'corps/corpse' pun makes perfect sense in a context that involves the name 'Doomscroll'.

Idk if you just don't know any leftists IRL or what. The way the press and the political establishment are doing their damnedest to gear the American public up for a new cold war against our biggest trade partner (lolwut??) strikes many real people as irksome, worrying, and ridiculous. Even more libertarian leftists, who are loudly and frequently (and often correctly) critical of China (and usually muddled when it comes to anti-imperialism, besides), can smell bullshit when they read a bunch of stories about 'social credit' which turn out to be mostly hot air, or they watch two presidential candidates derail debates on a national stage just for detours where they take turns of accusing each other of being the one who is really soft on China.

This reminds me of the last presidential primary, when some boomer libs on Facebook would manically accuse anyone who criticized Biden too harshly of being a Russian agent.

Sorry dude, not everyone who disagrees with you is a bot or a foreign agent.

It's not a coincidence that accounts concerned about the misgivings of the CIA would answer in this thread. It's actually expected. Don't be paranoid.

Pretend for a moment that someone not connected with China in any way could be critical of the US and its role as the last super power. I know that might be difficult task, but try your best. or not, i don't care.

Please do not perpetuate flamewars on HN—that's just as bad.

And please don't use HN primarily for political or ideological battle—we ban such accounts.
