I can see that people on HN blame other countries easily without any real evidence...

This sort of reaction isn't specific to HN, unfortunately (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/08/08/ameri...) or even America (http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-43385677). It's a vulnerability in human tribal psychology that other folks have been exploiting for political purposes for centuries.

Even though the bug report is thousands of years old now, there's still no patch available. Some people think this means the maintainer has abandoned the project.

I know that. I mean that I love HN mostly for smart comments. Sometimes I don't read an article, I read its comments. :) But blaming without evidence is not that kind of comments.
