If the new facts materially affect the outcome and are indeed facts, then pointing out or corroborating the truth can be helpful. If they aren't/don't then you're just agitating.

It'd be nice if they'd stop trying erase Aaron's work on Reddit but that's been underway for some time, and I'm not even really sure why. I can't fathom an end-goal where marginalizing Aaron's contribution

I don't know that I'd call Germany collectivist. Under your examples by the US having national laws and regulation, we are somehow collectivist, which is not true. It's a trait of society and government. Collectivist societ
