Sure I see that trend of downvoting too, but I also see a trend where the American users on HN hijack topics that aren't about America to talk about America because they feel that there isn't enough content on social media about America or something?
It's a phenomenon that I think many users from outside of the US will agree is a pernicious problem on all social media platforms.
Americans should be more aware of this and aspire to not be so self-absorbed.
- ok_dad 2y agoEh, I just ignore those who don’t add to the conversation. If they add something useful, even being self absorbed, I consider it. Sometimes even an American has a nugget of wisdom we can learn from, believe it or not. I don’t really want to derail this thread any further though, and I’m not Turkish so I can’t comment on the actual topic other than to say I wish them luck.
