There's another side to this too - downvote the authoritarian state propaganda. When I see a 99% disliked video and click a "Dislike", I feel that I am not alone. When all forms of political participation are verboten, you use what you have. Now we have even less.

The problem is only the “disenfranchised” like you use it and more often than not your views are verboten for a good reason.

Not everyone on HN lives in the US or EU. The views that are forbidden here are rule of law, democracy, political representation, freedom of speech, freedom of faith, human rights and so on. People who try to oppose this are regularly imprisoned, tortured, killed, repressed or forced to leave the country.

Whats the difference between the disenfranchised and a oppressed group trying to be heard? If you can answer that honestly you will see your own comment is hate speech.
