What's obvious for us who have been oppressed by the empire, for those who live there it might be impossible to see. They're the ones under propaganda 24/7, after all. Occam's razor works really well for many users of this site, but as soon as the subject is a rival superpower, everything is thrown out the window and it's the usual McCarthyism.


Please tell me where you are from that you're being oppressed by US right now, not 10 years ago or 100 years ago.

Also, US isn't the only democracy in the world (it's actually a representative republic, but anyways).


We've banned this account for using HN primarily for nationalistic battle. That's not allowed here [1]. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for. Also, single-purpose accounts are not allowed here generally, because they aren't compatible with the value of curiosity that's supposed to animate this place (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
