I'm not sniping you, nor am I using it as an excuse — I'm just saying that what you've related is such common knowledge that it's become a political truism, apocryphal folklore you can find posted 15 times per day on Reddit and other social media. I didn't mean it as an attack on your reasoning or your personal experience, but it's too late to edit my comment to change it. I apologize.
replyAgain though, I don't understand the point of your comment. Not everything on the internet is made up. While it is healthy to have a heavy amount of suspicion that things promoted on the web are not true, you don't have to throw the baby out with the bath water. Some of the users on reddit are not total wackos.
