The censorship on this website is unreal. Seems that Hacker News moderators are supportive of this hostile coup.

Everyone should educate themselves on the neo-reactionary movement, which has ties to multiple people who have been involved with YCombinator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment

This submission was submitted and flagged yesterday: the fact that it's on the front page (for now) means it was rescued from death and implies that opposite of your observation.

It implies neither, as everything that's happened to this submission could be done by users (flagging and vouching are tools available to some users).

That's right - I turned off the flags when I saw the article. I didn't see it yesterday.

(I also edited the title to be a bit more neutral.)

Reading into these weird power abusers. Scary stuff! They seem to want to take down America's liberal democracy and install an "American Caesar"
