Make America Hate Again
Internal american politics, not of interest. Flagged. When we were discussing the terrorist attacks in France, they were being consistently flagged. I complained about [1] the anglo-centrism of HN and dang replied this:<p>&gt; I&#x27;d caution against drawing general conclusions about HN from spot observations about what does&#x2F;doesn&#x27;t get flagged. People usually fall prey to cognitive biases when they do so, e.g. thinking that the community is against them somehow. We&#x27;re all primed to feel that way; the feeling just hops to different things depending on our different identities.
&gt; Occam suggests you needn&#x27;t look for &quot;Anglo bias&quot; as an explanation for why a story gets flagged when the thread includes &quot;We must get rid of Merkel and the refugees&quot; followed by &quot;What do you suggest, gas chambers?&quot;
&gt; (Not that there isn&#x27;t inevitably going to be something like &quot;anglo bias&quot; on an English-language website. But FWIW the moderators here are acutely aware of, and grateful for, and interested in, the international aspects of the community—definitely including the German ones.)<p>Either stop being USA (and UK) -centric, or stop pretending that you are not.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=12145481" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=12145481</a>
