#2Most of these are on one company. Overall the silicon valley is way better. And remember it's not a country.
Edit: I accept that I didn't get the joke.

You make good points, but it seems to be meant as a joke rather than a serious attempt to suggest that SV is meaningfully similar to the USSR.
For what it's worth, I agree with you and still found the thread to be very funny.

Other than the joke about the car clearly being Tesla, they seem pretty widespread to me.

The reason it's funny is because there's an element of truth to it. Just like with most of the politically-based comedian routines over the years.

#7> the United States as a whole is depicted as evil by default
So true. The USA is viewed worse than China, Russia or Saudi Arabia.
I also see a lot of it on HN.

If you go down into the replies, you’ll find the author saying “I am unprepared for people who don't understand jokes.”

I hear a lot of that, but when comparing the US to the rest of the West. To say that they are considered worse than those 3 countries might be pushing it..
