    Why does this comment have 10 downvotes? Seems like a genuine, well-intentioned question to me.

      Because it’s irrelevant what country they’re from. An argument should stand or fall on its own merits, not on the basis of who makes it. In that sense the question isn’t an intellectually serious one. People can sense that even if they don’t necessarily articulate it, hence the downvotes.

      Because most the people in this thread are just here yo flex hate on anything they consider anti american without actually engaging in actual discussion.

      You know, like the discussion that happens on hexbear that is constantly met with ‘fuck you tankie’.

        You clearly haven’t been in this community for very long.

        I’ve yet to see any dissent or speech that suggests against communism in Hexbear. If you see any, feel free to link it.
