Sure, but you cannot deny the hypocritical swarm behavior, which is the point.

> the hypocritical swarm behavior, which is the point.

That's exactly why that "point" is inherently nonsense. It's right there, you just wrote it yourself. If you lump people together "as a group", and some of them have different opinions on something, that doesn't make any of them a hypocrite. And the group can't be hypocritical either, because it's just your abstraction, not an actual group that communicates and coordinates and decides what "official" stance to take on certain issues.

The "swarm behavior" is mostly an illusion created by your mind. HN is just a bunch of people and bots.
Yep a bunch of people who often exhibit swarm behavior.
By this logic, will you just start calling yourself "hypocritical Karl", as you clearly belong here? ;)
Are you in middle school?
No, are you?
