Careful, many people on HN (as smart as they are) have little tolerance for nuance and empathy.

And they like to respond with “whataboutism!” - which is ironically, a Soviet propaganda term.

Americans are particularly myopic and view the world though a post-history lens.

Whataboutism is an old Soviet propaganda technique, but AFAIK they didn't come up with the term (they must have had an internal name for it of course, but somehow I doubt they called it whataboutism)
