It’s not just in a single ideological direction. Any post or comment even mildly considered controversial or verboten to discuss by a specific side gets it on here. I tend to still see them all because I read HN with a RSS feed reader and don’t see the flagged indicator until after I open the story. Generally I know either from the link url, or the topic that when I open the story the story will be flagged, or will have a # of comments flagged. It’s really not disappointing to see supposedly smart people do this.
