Know your audience, marta_morena and lawnchair_larry. HN is predominantly American tech workers, from which we can deduce:
- Those who hold citizenship and can vote are statistically very left-leaning
- Many of them are new migrants themselves, with ~75% of those in the SF tech industry being 1st generation H1B holders
- Most either fled the dominant culture in their home country, or being born in the US haven't been exposed to a historically dominant culture and identity
The capacity for understanding and empathizing with what many in Europe are now experiencing is therefore low to non-existent, or may indeed be met with a level of resentment.
