Yeah I know... I know that it's not a good fit for HN. I post this here because this is the only place I feel safe discussing this. I do hope I'm not being too much of a pain on dang's butt... My account is already rate limited to about 5 posts every two hours or so and I think that's absolutely fair. I emailed him once about it, he explained his reasons and I accepted them and the limitation. I hope HN's downraking of political threads neutralize any disruption these discussions could possibly cause. I know I'm going to sound like a paranoid schizophrenic by saying this but please keep in mind that there's at least a possibility that the flaggings and downvotes are politically motivated. People have created sockpuppet accounts here and called me out by name because of the views I express. https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=forabolsonaro https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=forabolsonaro https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35900285 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35900285

Those are both true. As a Brazilian, I'm politically motivated to engage with these lies that bring so much damage for a whole nation of 200million people. Edit: Really, reading the links and the suppositions, I honestly recommend you to refrain from engaging in this kind of crusade. It does you no benefit and tech has a big list of smart developers that went crazy going a similar route.
