The parent's first question is still pertinent.
> You question people's motivation when it comes to submissions. Why not when it comes to flagging?
If you can't trust the community's input when it comes to flagging, then why bother pretending you have a community at all?

To me either negation is about the same but not a deal breaker because I can exercise reasonable judgement.
> Perhaps Seymour Hersh is another once-reputable journalist who has unfortunately succumbed to anti-West brain-rot like Glenn Greenwald.
Well that explains why you're so against this type of article. You should reconsider whether the rot you're perceiving isn't in the West, rather than in Greenwald's brain.
I am also worried that HN's moderation has a bus factor of one, and has effectively no recourse. That's a lot of community-shaping power in one person's hands, regardless of how good of a job dang normally does.
