My opinion of the HN and the whole startup / silicon valley crowd got significantly worse because of the predominance of people like mdoms here on HN. Clueless, entitled and often bordering on being straight up evil with their "good intentions". "Just go back to your country and overthrow your dictator, aren't you a citizen" somehow seems to be a common line of thinking here.
I smell trolling in his comments, but, in general, it's a very common worldview that is probably caused by excessive Marvel-like products consumption. If you go to a place like r/worldnews, you will see this is a mainstream position there
Yea, that subreddit group seems to be promoting anger, rage, hawkish behavior in people. And, the worst thing is they are epitome of Dunning Kruger effects, and they believe they consummately know about geopolitics, science, politics etc.. Probably, complete anonymity & intolerance without consequence has imbued wildness in those people. I just hope HN would discourage such behavior.
I admire and support people willing to die for democracy and freedom, but I have serious doubts there is any overlap between those heroes and these armchair warriors telling other people to risk their lives.
asats, I wish for more people to understand that there are shades between black and white, who're looking to hear arguments before making quick decisions. But it doesn't seem their percentage is much different in other communities than silicon valley / HN, it seems like a major problem attached to humanity itself. I hope for this to change while I'm alive and sane though. Would be cool to see.
