I don’t read the NYT and likely I don’t live in the same country as you.

Then maybe stop commenting about contentious topics in US politics?

Why bring this pointless hostility to HN? Just disagree, rather than the petty internet-style sneering/gatekeeping.

testing22321 was positing theirself as an expert on US liberal protests, but then admitted they aren't regularly exposed to the same.

Seems relevant.

I did no such thing.

I just said I’ve never heard anyone say they want to abolish the police, which sounds absurd to me.
