[flagged]
Doesn't even have to be political. I've seen it over and over with submissions about cybertruck recalls, twitter related stuff, etc.
It's understandable that some personal biases may creep in to the moderation processes, and I believe that this is a much preferable situation than allowing it to devolve into an unmoderated forum.
I assume that Elon the Nazi is too inflammatory for an HN discussion subject, where the emphasis should be on polite discussion of nerdy subjects, as per the guidelines.
As an aside: I posted a link about accelerationism (a worthy HN topic methinks) but it had the word 'capitalism' in the title and got flagged - it is a well produced and thought provoking video by the way [1], and not partisan-political at all.
It mentions that Elon will be there. The conflict of interest is pretty clear. Not to mention the recent post about YC boss-ware that du-humanizes laborers. Capitalists/industrialists are generally pro-nazi at an ideology level.
Wait till he finds out what the Nazis did to autistic people.
Why is it so hard to just say “Nazis suck, I hate Nazis”…
