@HN admins: you can hide your heads in the sand as much as you like. Good luck and thanks for the fish.
UPDATE: OK - I'll take at face value the replies and apologize for the attack to admins. I'm still not following though why/how this is flagged.
It's more likely to have been flagged because there's always some that flag political discussions of any kind not directly related to tech, and even more that flag political discussions that they expect will get heated because they don't think those kind of discussions belong here.
I'm strongly left wing and have not noticed any particularly strong bias either way in terms of what type of political articles get flagged. Specific subjects are more likely to be a trigger.
Why is this flagged but posts about how automation will ruin everything and we need a UBI aren't? It's the same topic. Same discussion but from different perspectives.
