I'm not sure why anybody would be surprised that a post complaining about "sub-80 IQ rightwing|leftwing hot takes" gets downvoted or flagged. Isn't the point of HN that it doesn't host the usual hateful garbage?

What's happening here is that unsubstantive comments are given a pass if they meet the "correct opinion" standard. Neither type of comment should fly.
