Everytime something gets posted on HN about a bad or unfair state of affairs, some cynical nihilist posts “doh why r u surprised” and I’m sick and tired of it. These comments aren’t insightful, helpful or thought-provoking. You’re just helping a bad situation stay bad.

My only imagined motivation for such posts is, “Look at me, I’m not surprised by this due to my superior intellect, why are you surprised?”

“No one is surprised, jackass, it’s just adults having a conversation about the current state of affairs.”

Yes, it’s tiring and rarely contributes positively to the conversation.
