Same for me with the hate-crap on here. Comments used to be 95+% about the topic, and many commenters used to not be as much of dicks on here.
It is like toddlers who try to turn every interaction to how much they like their legos. And the same level of maturity.
Do these haters think that Americans don't know our problems? Do they think their country is bereft of issues? Do they find their commentary useful?
As a corrolary, do they believe that the response to every subject should be US citizens making unprovoked and snide comments on issues in their country? Is it proper for me to point out ongoing racism in Europe when any topic is brought up? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... , a place of active genocide until the mid 1990's. Roma are not allowed to swim in Bulgarian pools today! Enlightened Europeans, claiming superiority just like they did in 1930's Germany, an inclination that will come out again if given the chance. The superiority complex is the start.
No, it isn't appropriate or even displaying any intellectual ability. It is like 5th graders sneaking mommy and daddies laptop and agitating at a similar level. What it is - is exceedingly small minds that are trolling hard and poorly. And it is a very bad and destructive look, and in prior activity, quite similar to the trolling by people with severe psychosexual problems and general hatred that brought down USENET. When I first was on USENET, I could have conversations with actual experts in my field. Then the perverts and axe grinders swamped the place. The experts and even the dilettantes all left eventually. I fear the retreads might do the same to Slashdot.
