It might be worth considering if maybe you are the one in the wrong here. Could it be that the majority of people disagree with you not because your view is "uncomfortable" but because it's not truth? Your phrasing certainly reads to me like reactionary defensiveness when presented with legitimate criticism of certain aspects of this culture and a refusal to evaluate things from any other point of view than your own.
- Chris2048 7y agoIf that was the case, wouldn't there be rebuttals instead of straight downvotes?
- fader 7y agoNot necessarily. Once someone has established that they won't engage in good faith ("told for decades that said national culture is hateful and outdated and must be destroyed without any decent replacement" isn't exactly an opening for discussion) it's wasted effort to engage. It's still worth hoping they'll at least consider that downvotes aren't because people hate and fear the secret truth that they are the only one smart enough to see, though. ("Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong.")
