> HN is heavily anti-US

This is a very distorted lens.

Many on the outside might say the US is very pro-self and anti-everyone-else right now! America first, right?

Well, take a random country. We'll make a made-up one called Tristonia. Should Tristonia do things in Tristonia's best interests? Absolutely! If Tristonia had some kind of military or economic threat from another country, should they take steps to protect their country, resources, and people from the threat? Absolutely! The same thing the US would do.

Most of these people aren't necessarily anti-US, they're against being beholden to another country, especially one that has been incredibly... inconsistent, as of late.

The vast majority of HN users are from the US.

I'm a US citizen and I recommend people avoid most US corporations all the time. Helping US corporations does not help the blight of everyday Americans, all you do is make like a few thousand billionaires more wealthy.

I also find the excuses for these trillion dollar companies pathetic. These are entirely human constructed systems, if they can't understand what they made and how to improve it then maybe we need to question the way they write software in general if it's this unsustainable.

I hardly doubt some other team with better leadership qualities couldn't improve things to be better than they are now.
