I believe the reasons for this system where initially good - don't want too many political discussions, keep it on tech only. The issue is, that the tech is not a niche thing anymore - the biggest companies on earth are all tech now, a

One may genuinly debate the genocide, racism, imperialism etc. But I can guarantee you that the 'opressed working class' in the US had it 100 times better than the non opressed Eastern European one.

I'm contemplating it, but I'm not that old yet ! Of course there was always a bit, sometimes a lot, of propaganda everywhere. But at least it was (mostly) for the right causes and ideals. Right now, US is being governed by what I

It's a fantastic book, highly recommend to read. There is also a TV series based on it (on Amazon Prime I think), but as usually, it's not as good as the book.

"Doing it badly is doing the thing." This one works for me, and I've learned it from a post on HN. Whenever I feel stuck or overthink how to do something, just do it first - even with all the flaws that I'm already aware

As a fellow Eastern European of similar age, I suddenly feel quite nostalgic. I really wonder how my life would be different if someone told be that the US, which for me was as close to a paradise as it gets, will go down the same road in t

You could hardly write something more generic - they could maybe add some calls for world peace and universal prosperity... How is this kind of bullshit upvoted here ?

Yep. I keep posting them though, because the idiocy of it all gets crazier and crazier every week. I even start to wonder if tech people believe Tesla propaganda machine by now.

Americans, where will you realize that the longer you wait, the worse it will get ? The whole country should be in the streets now. You guys are fast tracking your way into a dictatorship, and unfortunately you may drag the entire Western w

It's a very good post. From my personnal experience, this describes perfectly why people coming from poorer backgrounds struggle to get good jobs. Quite often, you just can't wait for the right job - you need to pay the bills so y

Not surprising at all. Wasn't most of pro-Trump content during 2016 election campaign actually generated by some kids in Macedonia who figured out how lucrative fake and sensationalized news can be ? Social media is increasingly the po

I struggle to understand who pays for OF content and who follows them ? From what I've read 99% of OF is porn in some form or another. So there are millions of people who create accounts and pay for it - linking their personnal info to

I grew up in Eastern Europe. For 90% of people there at the time, US = paradise. Maybe it was propaganda, I don't know. Later in life I got travel a lot and meet a lot of Americans and for most, their moral and ethics are at the exact

Regardless of weather it's true or not, they have a huge interest in saying so. What's really crazy (even by today's US standards) is how Trump and his clique speak as if he annexed Venezuela and he can do whatever he wants.

Because news shouldn't be what is on the front page on HN, and I generally agree. However, we're not living in normal times. US is speed running the book to become a dictatorship, or probably worse. And it's in no small part

I like the title - average food in the US is absolute shit - both in taste and from health perspective. It doesn't even taste like real food most of the time. Just like sugar with some flavour... I don't get the 'For decades

Not really. Ferrari is a great car, but with punctured tires or bad driver, it won't win any race. Although I do agree, that in war only the final outcome is important. It's just that in this case it failed not necessarily because

What if France 'donated' some nukes to every EU country (okay, maybe not Hungary) ? It won't happen, but I wonder what could the US possibly do about it.

It got upvoted quite quickly, then flagged. The way the algorithm works, if a hot topic is flagged for some time, the story will never show up on the front page.

Some certainly will, but not many I think. There are very few westerners outside of the US, who want to have anything to do with what the US are doing now.
