I am actually a bit concerned with how this reached the top page with so many low effort comments.

Regardless of whether it is the case that socialist policies are responsible for this situation, it’s weird that there are a sudden upswing in the strange, almost sneering style of comment that is littering the comment area.

I almost expect a list of Wikipedia links about Zimbabwe and other countries to follow.

It's a co-creation by ideological enemies who resemble each other more than anyone else and drag the whole discussion down with them.

In such a swamp, a good conversation is too much to expect. We need drier, more boring ground as a first condition.

Agreed.

If governments are invested in changing opinions on other Internet forums, why not here? These comments are very low quality and seem to me to be writen to stir up political screaming matches, not actual debate.

Well, then I'm still waiting for my paycheck from Uncle Sam. :)
