The community has guidelines. Flagging usually means 'this doesn't belong here'. HN is no heaven for free speech and no user has the right to post anything they want. If somebody was posting flat-earth theories that most likely get flagged and it's not the intention to further discuss the topic or giving the person more audience. There may be other communities that fit your needs better.
