    It's kind of a dumb question, to be fair. It should be fairly obvious that I'm trying to sway the people reading the comment.

    So you're saying he betrayed the United States for a far worse, criminally oppressive regime? Everything in your comment makes him out to be a far bigger piece of shit. He betrayed…

    Oh yeah I forgot how revered he is. Which is why he's hiding in oppressive regimes, lol. Even in the tech community, the most sympathetic group possible, half the people revile him…

    I love it. He leaves for one of the most repressive countries in the world, but gets a pass because he's critical of the United States. This is why nobody takes him or his supporte…

    Fortune cookies are rarely good advice. Him aligning himself with actual evil diminishes anything he has to say.

    This is not true. It doesn't even make sense. Pithy comments generally don't describe the real world. "We are in development and do not yet have a working product" - Not a lie "We …

    No it's not. It's not even remotely victim blaming. At no point did anyone even remotely hint it was their fault. People have taken this to a ridiculous level. Giving practical adv…
