Thank you for letting me know. I am glad to have learned as much from an internet comment the day after renewing my passport!

Yes, America is a multiethnic and multicultural state. We’ve even had natural-born citizens—who served in office—born abroad. That said, our baseline public education could apparently use some help.

This wreaks of straw man.

What? Are you saying you are a government employee pushing propaganda here? You aren't making much sense.

Yes, everyone who has heard of John McCain works for the government.

I hope you get the help you need. (Genuinely [1].)

Just as I figured. You even comment like all the foreign propagandists online. No doubt you do most of your work on reddit. Because that's exactly the response you get from propagandists working there.

Do you get paid to do this? Are you working for free? Are you with a private organization or with a government?

Thank you for removing all doubt. I wasn't 100% certain until now.

You also broke the site guidelines repeatedly in this thread, including with personal attacks. I know the other commenter was being provocative, but it's not ok to post the way you did in response.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules, we'd appreciate it. Note this one:

You’re right. Sorry. Didn’t realise the original accusation hit a nerve—that’s on me. (Thank you.)

You broke the site guidelines extremely badly in this thread—way over the line at which we ban accounts. Moreover, you've been doing it in other threads too - e.g.:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39682943

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39636608

and we've already asked you once: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39362247.

I'm not going to ban you right now but we need you to review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and start following the rules strictly. No more personal attacks, especially.
