| > the wumao playbook. Is there a summary of "wumao" playbook? I think all these you mentioned are standard propaganda or public communication tricks. > call everyone and everything into question Sorry, I did not see evidences that the poster accused "everyone and everything". I doubt HN tolerates such behavior at all. How about references the parent comment about the specific statements that reflect your statement? > accuse the other commented of his own national bias and bubble (whilst refusing to accept yours) I think you should emphasize the the part "whilst refusing to accept yours". This is definitely many so-called "wumao" have to do to do their jobs. I surely see HN members have far less exhibition of this trait. > throw your hands up and play the victim. I did not see the poster "play the victim". Even the accusation on China is a lie, that does not victimize any members here. The whole idea of someone "play the victim" should be seen as a way of thinking that does not fit here. Some comments can hurts someone's feeling, but it should be clear that we discuss topic, not accusing people. We back our statements with facts, and dispute others with facts too. |
