Dude. Not everybody who flags political posts on HN is a fascist. Some are just really tired of the amount of political posts here.

A lot of people don't have any problem saying that this is wrong. They just don't want the discussion to be here. They aren't fascists, or working on behalf of fascists. They just want HN to not be the all-politics-all-the-time channel that it seems to threaten to become.

Don't read it and then move along. Why participate (and comment on?!?!) a discussion you feel unworthy of this space?

I read it. I didn't flag it. I'm just trying to shed some light on the set of motives of people who do flag such posts.

If you automatically label anyone who flags such a post (or worse, labeling all of HN) as fascists, you need to cool your jets.

Then they should stop flagging posts, because otherwise they are complicit
