- To compare every comment on reddit to every other comment in reddit's entire history would require an index, and if you want to find similar comments instead of exact matches, it becomes a lot harder to do that efficiently. ElasticSearch might be able to do it, but then you need to duplicate all of that data in a separate database and keep it in sync with your main database without affecting performance too much when people are leaving new comments, and that would probably be expensive.
- Comparing combinations of comments is probably impossible. Reddit has a massive number of comments to begin with, and the number of possible subtrees of those comments would just be absurd. If you only care about comparing entire threads and not subtrees, then this doesn't apply, but I don't know how useful that will be.
- Programmers just do what they're told. If the managers don't care about something, the programmers won't work on it.

Politicians just ignore protests, especially if they're peaceful, so they don't directly cause change.
The purpose of a protest is to get media coverage for an issue, because that may convince viewers to vote a certain way. Those votes - or at least the threat of voting someone out of office - is what actually causes change.
Revolutions are a different story. They can change things much faster than voting, but they're volatile and can easily end up worse than before. The people leading a revolution are usually not the people you want to lead a revolution (e.g. the Jan 6 insurrection in the US).
Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals.
I don't hate Republicans because they're on the other side of the fence.
I hate them because they're trying to kill some of my friends and family.
If Republicans gain control of the federal government again, people I know will die.
It almost did. There was a mob of people just a couple doors away from murdering most of congress and making Trump a dictator.
The only reason Trump failed to end democracy is because he and the rest of the Republican party were just trying things without a real plan.
They have a plan now. If they get a chance to use it, they will be successful.

Tourists choose the safest areas of the country to visit, and they don't stay very long, so yeah that makes sense. You're not really escaping gun violence in the USA if you only leave the country for a few days, though.

Google "us homicide rate" and then "mexico homicide rate". It'll take you 5 seconds.

Canada would be. Mexico's homicide rate is almost 5x higher than the USA.
American conservatives haven't done or said a single thing in good faith in the last half a century. You don't get to ask others to do what you're unwilling to do.
If you meant that, you wouldn't be trying to help Trump win.
