If you haven't noticed all the times we've moderated and scolded the "US world domination agenda" (or flamey partisans thereof), that's because you haven't noticed them—not because they don't exist. I promise you that in a parallel universe (or rather, a parallel sector of HN) there are people railing against us for siding with America-haters-and-all-that. In reality, we're siding with neither. We're just trying to have an internet forum that doesn't suck.

Of course there are tons of guideline-breaking posts that we don't moderate, but that's because we don't see everything. One can't moderate what one doesn't see.

If the bylaws of the security council contained the risk of exclusion or at the very least loss of veto, I think both the US and Russia would more carefully contemplate the cost of the invasions they are guilty of.
