Mod note: I get the sense that some commenters here are bringing a kind of… naive political partisanship background vibe? (mostly not too overt, but it felt off enough I felt the need to comment). I don’t have a specific request, but, make sure to read the LW Political Prerequisites sequence and I recommend trying to steer towards “figure out useful new things” or at least have the most productive version of the conversation you’re trying to have.
(that doesn’t mean there won’t/shouldn’t be major frame disagreements or political fights here, but, like, lean away from drama on the margin)
They felt to me like “comments that were theoretically fine, but they had the smell of ‘the first very slight drama-escalation that tends to lead to Demon Threads’”.

FWIW the comments feel fine to me, but I’m guessing that many of the downvotes are partisan.

I suspect that your post might have more upvotes if there was agreement/disagreement karma for posts, not just comments.
