I know it's low-status to whine about being downvoted.

Asking why you got downvoted tends to be received well and not taken as a whine - if you don't make it sound like one, or start attacking the community before you even get any answers.

• The first half of the first sentence of your comment is incomprehensible. "If you throw enough money into the hole that you spend less" is somewhere between gibberish and severely sleep-deprived mumblings.

• A -2 score means almost nothing. Two people downvoted your comment, so what?

• Calling the community "pathetic" in response to downvotes is hypocrisy.

• In all likelihood, the downvoters did not even recognize your "Keynesian slant" and were downvoting because signaling. Oftentimes people will downvote a -1 comment just by the principle of social proof. These are humans, you know.

• Don't make up theories about the whole population of this website by two downvotes to a difficult-to-understand comment. Also, you are abusing the term "groupthink", which has a technical meaning that you are not using.

what am I supposed to think?

Anything other than an orthodox-libertarian conspiracy to silence the Keynesians by downvoting small amounts.

Personally, I'm not a fan because I think this conversation is highly off topic for both the original story and the comment thread.
