Please don't keep commenting the way you did in this thread. It's not what HN is for and it destroys what it is for. Please take a moment to read the guidelines, particularly these ones:

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

HN is not the place for debating topics in that way. The guidelines specifically ask: “Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.” Please choose a different forum if you want to engage in such discussions. You're welcome here if you earnestly intend to observe the HN guidelines. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
