You mean, you haven't been downvoted for moderate right views on HN? May be you just haven't spent much time here

It's true that you may pay a fee of a few karma for such an opinion, but by and large the discussion itself stays civil and focused on the ideas themselves. This is a huge step up from the usual social violence that would follow in many places.

I'm impressed by both the community at the moderation that allows this to happen.
