Is this just an attempt to dismiss or do you actually believe a real human could have a differing opinion without being paid by a foreign government? At what point do comments like this indicate schizophrenia

Ooo, accusing your opponents as having a mental illness. Taking pages straight out of the McCarthyist playbook; I love it!

Found the second CCP agent. /s

Seriously though, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. One comment is not enough to know though.

I would suggest you please take a look at the HN guidelines [1]. In particular:

> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and we'll look at the data.

Okay, but i'm a white american who isn't being paid by any government just FYI. Maybe reconsider your mental model of people you interact with online?

Do you think you risking closing your mind off from new ideas by assuming everyone disagreeing with you is an LLM or russian or chinese or whatever?

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.
