Dang has stated these sorts of comments do not belong on HN news. Discussion of specifics are fine, but nationalist slurs are not.

Edit: wow, my bad. HN really loves low effort nationalistic slurs as entire comments now.

What's the slur here? American? Mind?

I'm American, and I wasn't offended. Because it's true, we actually can't comprehend this because we are the poster child of government via huge corporations. We literally don't know what it's like to have a functioning and trustworthy government handling these things, it's completely foreign to us.

I don't think that's a slur, my friend. I think it's a statement of the American mindset. Then again, I'm not American, what do I know.
