It doesn't mean they have, therefore, achieved some kind of enlightened balance.
The fact that you can cite a lot of angry right-wingers trying to pull discourse in their direction through whining just means there's a lot of right wingers posting here trying to form critical mass, as one would expect given the composition of America as a country.
You don't get more of those kinds of critiques from communists because 1) there's barely any communists here and 2) we don't argue like that.
Pretty fair modding, though. GJ.
However, "enlightened balance" is not the argument. The argument is that the left-name-calling comments are so isomorphic to the right-name-calling comments that there has to be a common mechanism underlying them. I even think I know what the mechanism is, but I'm too tired (and ok maybe a little too drunk) to type it out for the nth time. If you want to hear it, let me know; otherwise I'll spare you.
Edit: also, hold on a second: you did just argue exactly like that! ("Literally anything left-of-right-of-centre immediately gets flagged (if not outright banned by the mods)"), - which is what prompted me to dig up a few totalitarian-liberal-thought-policemans in the first place.
Oh and then there's "Dang is a totalitarian liberal thought policeman", "banned every single prominent right winger", "extremely left-winged", "most people on HN are liberals", "socialist hell-hole", "this site leans left", "leftist bots", "always politically left", "skews quite left", "Obviously this website is rigged for the liberal agenda", "the level of wokeness is just absurd", "leftist ideological echo chamber", "run by radical leftists, so no surprise", and much much more! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26148870.
