Yeah, the election made it pretty clear that people on X are in an insane bubble world (rather than some of the other online communities X accused of exactly that), and that the venn-diagram of HN and terminally-online X users is basically a circle.

The Demographics of HN are coming very sharply into focus the past few weeks, and it's awful.

It does sort of explain a lot though.

A shocking amount of these comments are very loudly ignorant of basic concepts of consent, and some seem to be rather proud of it.
