I comment on many things that matter to me, I do find myself having to represent the "other side" a lot of the time in some political submissions. But I also found myself on that same opposing side when defending crypto in Brave the other day, it's not just politics. I wouldn't consider myself a "culture warrior" whatever that means. I might consider myself a contrarian :) I comment on issues I know about, whether it's programming or a political event / issue, though there have been a lot of political submissions as of late. Thanks for verifying there are people that mass downvote, even when you unlock downvote I think it should be limited. |

I'm suspect you do know what that means, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. The rhetorical style you use here on HN makes you seem to me to be a "culture warrior".
> A culture war is a cultural conflict between social groups and the struggle for dominance of their values, beliefs, and practices. It commonly refers to topics on which there is general societal disagreement and polarization in societal values. The term is commonly used to describe aspects of contemporary politics in the United States.

You seem (to me) to be more interested in battle than in having a constructive conversation. Maybe I'm reading too much into your comment history, if so let me know, I'm open to feedback. Really I'm just trying to elucidate why you might be catching so many downvotes on this forum.
> Thanks for verifying there are people that mass downvote
Are you really grateful, or is this just poor rhetorical style?
In re: "mass downvote" I want to be clear that I didn't downvote comments because they were made by you, I downvoted some comments and then noticed afterwards that several of them were by you.
FWIW I went and checked which comments of yours I downvoted:

I downvoted these comments for poor rhetorical style combined with anti-vax sentiment.
