Users flagged your sibling comment, no doubt because it was unsubstantive and arguably flamebait. That's against several of the site guidelines; this one, for example:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

An user asked me "You know this will cause more emigration right?" How is an affirmative answer supposed to be flamebait or unsubstantive? I would definitely love to hear those arguments.

Ideological battle pejoratives are markers of ideological battle, which is not what this site is for.

Meta comments going on about what got downvoted or what got flagged are also off topic.

Wait, now it sounds like you're discussing the parent comment in this thread and not it's sibling comment.

I thought that this was the comment we are discussing:

>> You know this will cause more emigration right?

>So? That's awesome!

How is that "arguably flamebait"? It's just an enthusiastically affirmatory response to an yes/no question.

Sorry, I'm confused now. If I was talking about the wrong comment, I apologize. Please follow the site guidelines in all your comments though!
