Hacker News pays close attention to the content on the main page. They purge anything that doesn't trend left leaning or counters the standard left's corporate interests.

For example, I posted a link to Michael Moore's film in which he eviscerates bio-fuels. This post was mysteriously removed. It was also removed the second time I posted it. This was despite the link the "A year wearing shorts to work" as another HN article link at the time continued to exist.

I get you! It is even harder for a few of us who are leaning down in the political graph. Atleast the political right gets an acknowledgement of existence. The political down are accused as outright quacks.

The 0,0 (owl eyes) party gets ignored by all the eigenparties who can't seem to find any alignment

That's more to do with the tech industry's own left wing bias imo, not specifically YC.
