I've honestly never seen so many stupid people making stupid arguments on HN before.
Nothing but lazy disingenuous arguments who's only purpose is to bait conversations for replying with even lazier whataboutisms.
Either the brainrot has really set in for these people or we are being flooded with ai/bots.
Yes. Or both.
Or mutually-supporting fires, a death-spiral of agitprop fueling already bent values.
What is stupid in these replies to me is that people seemingly think the interests of american companies and the american working class are somehow aligned.
Stupid false dichotomy.
It’s possible to recognize both that
(a) American companies’ business interests don’t fully align with the needs of their users or the general public,
and that
(b) the Chinese Communist Party’s objectives —which include weakening, destabilizing, and impoverishing the United States— are even less aligned with the interests of American citizens.
