      People love to post political stuff, the bot picks it up, but on hacker News itself it gets flagged and removed pretty quickly

      Basically, we get the unmoderated view of hacker News

        This one hasn’t been flagged after 3 hours, and the top comment approves the state committing violent crimes as long as it gets results. This is why I left.

        9/10 times if the comments lean politically left, the post is taken down within an hour, yet when the comments lean right, the post is allowed to stay. Almost like the mods of a message board owned by venture capitalists are techno-fascists?

        Why is it flagged? El pais is a very credible source, this story is super important, and the people obviously want to see it (by upvotes)
