Does he have any power to change anything? Or does he have only power to expose the abusers and corrupted?

Only taking action because you can change corrupt ways doesn’t actually change anything because the average person has no power to do so. And the proper channels are gummed up to not change anything.

What Lars does is possibly inform or change perspective of those unfamiliar with their nation/world-state.

> possibly inform

I'm not sure about that. People on HN are generally well in the know, while laymen don't event understand the substance of the matter in question.

I imagine Lars reaches beyond HN to other uninformed circles. HN doesn't have users representing every social group out there in the world.

You think so? It's a public, anonymous forum. I consider the people here to be as informed as someone from 4chan, except the moderators keep out the explicitly toxic people.
