The fact that this response was first upvoted, then downvoted after the person said they’d rather have Henry Kissinger¹ on the note², I think is quite telling of the kind of people HN is attracting these days.

Well, I guess every website must fall some day.

¹ Which is not only rage bait but also very dumb for a plethora of reasons, the least of which that he wasn’t European.

² And as a reminder, their complaint was calling someone a “woke bureaucrat” because the comment’s author was ignorant of a historical figure. I do wonder if they would have said the same if it had been a man.
