Do you perceive that your sarcasm was effective? Did it convey your point clearly and concisely, so that you can share your perspective and point of view?

Or did it do more harm to what is otherwise a legitimate viewpoint and possibly deserving of discussion?

Yes, yes and no.

I'm btw sure that many Socialists would actually agree that the statement undoubtably displayed hatred and xenophobia. He did argue against allowing people from the outside to come and live in his community because he by default perceives foreigners as not giving "two shits" about the community. This is obviously not true, you can't just declare that all foreigners want to harm your community.

OK, I would encourage you to reread the conversation. The HN consensus is clearly different than how you perceive it.

You may be absolutely correct. The HN Hivemind is frequently wrong.

But please use this as an opportunity for introspection, wherein you centralize the idea that the community of peers with whom you choose to associate, think you are an ass.
