I didn't. I created an account for discussion.

But I'm not asking for a comprehensive list, I'm asking what people are afraid to say. I think it's incredibly disingenuous to claim oppression, but also be unwilling to discuss it any further. I also think it does nothing to help the situation.

The obvious answer is "I voted for trump". But then of course, why?

Well, I was on his side until now.

> This used to be uncontroversial

Lots of things used to be uncontroversial. Get with the times.

Delegation, sign he deserves a promotion.

Have you really never worked on a project where the golden boy was the face of everything and everyone else was ignored?

For some reason Indians aren't Asian enough to be called Asian.

Except they grew up their and the flora, fauna, etc... feels more like home.

People who move from California to Seattle complain constantly about how horrible the weather is, for example.

> I think that's a little unfair to characterize the Chinese government as uniquely nefarious

It's not at all. We can still criticize the US government for their actions.

You actually couldn't do that in China.

I'm not. I want no part of living under totalitarianism.

Huh, it is kind of hard to make an argument for the self evidence of our inalienable rights.

Especially int he context of talking to someone who lives with tyranny and doesn't really care.

> but projection of societal norms is kinda silly.

It's not when you are talking about basic human rights. China is wrong about this.

> a lot of younger Americans have adopted a sort of dark, distorted view of history that casts the US as a villainous entity

Or they have adopted a realistic view of history. The US has done loads of shitty things.

They have never had stalin like purges or a hitler like dictator.

An educated person, old or young, might look at Iran and be less likely to think "horrible regime hell bent on the destruction of Israel and the west" and more likely to think "huh, we probably shouldn't have fucked with their government decades ago".

Also that whole thing about voting being worth less for huge chunks of the country. Oh, and getting constantly screwed over by previous generations.

Being cynical doesn't make you naive.

> It's really confounding to me that the younger generations seems to have such a hard time with this.

Oh look, more ageism on hacker news.

> Disagreement shouldn't lead to downvote

Actually PG said the opposite. I used to have the comment saved, but lost it in a format.

Anyway, people also downvote because they are sick of talking about this.
