No, you're trying to egg me into a political conversation on HN, and I'm refusing. I thought that was pretty clear in the last comment.
I want you to substantiate your original political claim, not lament your loneliness for having an unpopular opinion.
Nope, you're doing exactly what the parent poster said, feeling secure in the 'support' you expect to get from many others on this site. The 'no politics' rule has always been a bit hazy but for about a decade it seems to have been forgotten as long as the 'politics' falls within the desired narrative. As W.O.P.R. said it is a strange game which can only be won by not playing.
I agree with you about this. If you go against the prevailing politics here, you'll get "source?"-d and nitpicked to death by an army of fact checkers while they can state opinions as facts with impunity. If your facts are unassailable you simply get downvoted and ignored.
The best thing to do is to flag political posts and comments to bury them. Happily, this appears to have happened here.
Glad I'm not crazy. This is exactly the behavior I've witnessed over the years.
