You're violating quite a few of the HN guidelines here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

You can make your points without asserting bad motives on other commenters or otherwise raising the rhetorical temperature.

Uh when the motives are clearly bad it's less neutral to disallow calling it out

In this case, there's nothing in the text that suggests ill intent; u/snarf21 had to parse subtext to find "bad motives". This sort of "assuming bad faith without any sort of evidence" violates this guideline:

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

I’m not American nor do I live in the US. I have visited and worked there many times and have many friends from there. I know for certain I will not get any SS despite paying into it for a number of years.
