  "Amazing how", "Interesting how", "Amusing how", "Funny how" followed by some trite, oft-repeated generalized remark are not very productive ways of starting a constructive conversation.

The general ideological issue you're pointing out here has been beaten to death, and not constructively, with no agreement or resolution or even steps made in that direction. I don't know if internet forums are a place where such a discussion can usefully be had. Regardless, comments like this are no way to initiate such a discussion.

For politically-charged articles, some times it's the only way to start a conversation without being downvoted. And despite your criticism about my "trite" remark, you seem to be contributing more to shutting down the conversation than promoting it.
