not bad for a hate group, eh?

Not to dismiss what I assume is genuine concern from the guy who posted the comment you linked to, but you don't think this is ridiculously narcissistic?

The original article linked to was from "The Australian." That is the biggest national newspaper in Australia. It isn't the biggest paper, but it certainly has mainstream viewership. It averages 150,000 readers per day. That is 5 times the subscriber count for this entire subreddit.

The comment you linked to is a 7 month old comment with one upvote in a thread with 13 upvotes.

That post didn't even make the issue popular In this subreddit. The suggestion that it had an impact on international relations is completely untenable. There are 3 responses to the post, one is disputing that it is even human trafficking.

Good news for NZ fishermen, but let's not work ourselves into delusions of grandeur and pretend that the US state department did this on behalf of the 2 or 3 emails they might have gotten 7 months ago.

If it's true, it's a HUGE victory.

Unproven link, but you can never under estimate the power of an idea whos time has come.
