| > It's not interesting. It's not interesting to you. Not every comment needs to be interesting to everyone. > Every major thread on HN has at least one comment trying to force the America Bad angle into the conservation This is an extreme exaggeration. Plenty of large threads don't discuss this. I'd wager the vast majority. > If the primary conversation - derived from the linked article - is about the US and about a topic having to do with something negative about the US… There are plenty of sub-conversations on every thread that aren't explicitly about the main topic. On this post alone, there are comments about the definition of terrorism, bitcoin, health insurance laws, American military action, etc. It seems like you're singling out "criticism of America" as the only taboo topic for no real reason. > Imagine if every large thread had someone trying to force comments about all the bad things France or Britain have done. Nobody is "forcing" comments. People are leaving comments. About all sorts of opinions, including those criticizing other countries. And absolutely none of this happens on "every large thread". > someone being triggered and unable to control theirself Didn't sound like the commenter was triggered at all. |
