(edit: It seems that it was sarcasm! I didn't detect it!)

You'd think the HN crowd, with access to a lot of information, probably higher education, and basic knowledge of history, would be smarter than this, but maybe not.

_at the moment_ lul

How do you know what you need to hide?

I downvoted you even though I know you're being sarcastic. The reflexive use of snark and sarcasm is bad. Poe's law (observing the difficulty of separating sarcasm from actual nastiness) identifies a real problem: reflexive snark is easily weaponized by people who argue your position sincerely and use you as cover. They can always say they're trolling until suddenly they're not.

As a German, I gotta ask: Is this a reference to Martin Niemöller's "First They Came"?

Sacred shit guys. I was hoping the sarcasm would shine through with the "at the moment". But yes, this otherwise deserves all the downvoting!

Define the “you” you are talking about please.
