why?

  Because the subject matter is a frequent target of "cancel culture" and it will attract flags from people who seek to silence disagreement with their positions instead of for legitimate inappropriate-for-HN reasons.

    Like all other subject matters that routinely get silenced?

    The belief in the prevalence of so-called "cancel culture" is one that belongs squarely on one side of this debate, and asking HN moderators to explicitly come down on that side is not asking for balance, it's asking for them to take your side. The normal flagging process on HN takes down a lot of posts on both "sides", purely by virtue of them being strongly political at all.
