I don’t see the usefulness of that one compared to just deleting your comment in that scenario. This one will just be abused by trolls posting outrageous claims and then preventing people from replying by flagging the mistake option.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 6 days ago:
I don’t think IT guy, or at least the equivalent people in my life, would be supportive to the point that they would actively involve themselves in a shooting war in support of Trump, which is what this hypothetical scenario would turn into.
He wouldn’t have to, the army and the police would do the shooting.
- Comment on Satya Nadella insists people are using Microsoft’s Copilot AI a lot 1 week ago:
Won’t it just reinstall itself after the next update?
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
It is just a shame that it is such a rare occurrence for Trump and his cohorts to be called out this way, that it is newsworthy in that rare instance when it happens.
They should be met with this kind of response whereever they go.

This is just his oligarch backers dictating his policies though. They will still be around to dictate policy after his demise.
- Comment on Donald Trump's approval rating collapses with rural Americans 8 months ago:
Doubtful. That would require them having any actual knowledge of what is going on. If anything it is because something he enacted finally personally affected themselves.

Definitely affectation. I suspect the strong German accent is as well. His vocabulary is too good for it.

Lots of Americans especially.
- Comment on How Gamergate foreshadowed the toxic hellscape that the internet has now become. 10 months ago:
It was about incels spouting misogyny and all other imaginable forms of bigotry. It served as yet another fascism pipeline for a lot of kids.
- Comment on Late 1900s 10 months ago:
Very much depending on the topic. For specialised niche subjects, which are usually the ones students choose for final papers, literature can be very scarce, and 1994 would be fairly recent. For my specialised field the main study (which is still being cited frequently) is from 1870.
