Since I've never had an account on Reddit, I wouldn't know, and since I rarely post memes on HN [and this isn't that meme], nobody has being seeing a lot of such comments from me.
I submitted the article because it was intellectually interesting. I also find internet memes intellectually interesting and I find the ways and reasons that people argue on the internet intellectually interesting...which isn't the same as finding, to a first approximation, actual internet arguments interesting anymore.
Anyway, the incongruity of the subject matter in relation to popular perception of US history is particularly intellectually interesting. The Lincoln County War, like similar violent episodes in the American West indicates that any group of ordinary Americans could be cast into the role of the people standing in the way of manifest destiny's fulfilment.
History is more absurd than LoL's. Look at the photograph.
