Is it against the rules to call fascism fascism? That's pretty disturbing.

  Why is the post flagged? Obviously it's against the rules. edit: I challenge you to post a comment labelling the United States government "fascists" in this front-page thread about ICE: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46756117 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46756117 It won't stay up for long.

    Why is a brand new account (yours) rushing to flagged threads with the party line? It looks like you registered just to post in this thread.

      I _think_ it's satire?

        What makes you think that? They have posted multiple times in this thread with basically the same post.

          I think his edit? I read the edit as him pointing out that political posts get flagged on the front page. But it's obviously not flagged because of the rules, it's flagged because _someone_ is flagging this stuff. I say this because the first minutes of the post existence, it oscillated between flagged and un-flagged. Surely, we also triggered the comment activity trigger that auto-flags the post, some anti-flamewar measure. Also, this phrase from him: > This is an inconvenient perspective that some of the more well-funded and well-connected Hacker News readers would prefer to ignore.

            It's kind of subtle, but I think you're right.

            > it's obviously not flagged because of the rules, it's flagged because _someone_ is flagging this stuff Dang was commenting in this thread 8 hours ago - and the post is still flagged. There's simply no good excuse for that to be the case. And this is far from the first time. Conclusions must be drawn.
