Yes, it's well known that the FBI deploys teams of agents to downvote comments on posts on HN.

It's definitely not that most people think this kind of talk is insane. Definitely not that. It's the FBI.

No gaslighting, please. It's called COINTELPRO. Here is a great resource for those that aren't aware: https://archive.is/YpeXZ

If you really want to go down rabbit holes, COINTELPRO was run by Mark Felt, who is better known as Deep Throat.

No, it’s not called COINTELPRO. That was a program from half a century ago. Nobody left at the current FBI even worked there when that program existed.
