Reading this comment thread hours after everyone else has posted, it sure is strange that a handful of individuals are defending the state from pretty much every objection by random commenters. I'm not a conspiracy guy, but this feels like when I watched the Hong Kong Blizzard protest, and you had all these guys named like "John Harrison" and "Alex Jeffries" spamming messages about how Tienanmen Square was just western propaganda. It feels like a couple of accounts pushing a specific agenda.
