Guess, your comments are getting flagged because your opinion contradicts the opinion of others. Unpopular thinking, I would say.

I reviewed your comments, and guess what, I'm opposed to that, what you think. But I'm not american and I didn't vote for a panican to start an economical war not only with the closest neighbors, but, its nothing less than the whole world! Like its 1930s again... that's stupid, if I'm able to say that.

Most likely multiple people flagged multiple comments of yours in the past month or so (as best I recall I believe I've flagged at least one of your comments (not more than three), can't quite recall which) for being "not HN" (ie overly edgy, somewhat combative, overly stylising US | China conflict, snark, etc) .. see the HN guidelines.

I've had a chuckle or two at your comments, but HN was founded with a preference for more thoughtful comments, fewer jokes and snark, etc.

FWiW I'm currently rate limited albeit with enhanced flag powers (I swat a lot of spambot crud) .. go figure <shrug>.

After enough flags you can land in autoflagging and shadowbanning .. unless you email dang and the modteam ( [email protected] ) and reset.
