You've been using HN primarily—in fact exclusively, it seems—for ideological and political battle. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of their politics. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

Since we already asked you to stop and you haven't, I've banned the account.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email [email protected] and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

> Dang just banned someone for the wrongthink of questioning the authoritarian police state

Actually I just banned them for using HN exclusively for ideological battle, which is clearly against the rules for what ought to be obvious reasons to anyone who's read them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

It's quite a feat to pull "authoritarian police state" out of that, but this is the internet.
