One could just as easily ask why did you just assume that he didn’t have more experience than you that was informing his opinion? That demonstrates the problem with the downvoters, not with him. People are pretty naive, and those of a certain ideology in particular have a habit of putting more weight on their uninformed idealistic assumptions than on the real world experience of others, who they promptly dismiss as intolerant/nazi/whateverist, at their own peril. I bet the downvoters haven’t helped struggling people half as much as what he mentioned just in his post.
