What makes you think that? They have posted multiple times in this thread with basically the same post.

  I think his edit? I read the edit as him pointing out that political posts get flagged on the front page. But it's obviously not flagged because of the rules, it's flagged because _someone_ is flagging this stuff. I say this because the first minutes of the post existence, it oscillated between flagged and un-flagged. Surely, we also triggered the comment activity trigger that auto-flags the post, some anti-flamewar measure. Also, this phrase from him: > This is an inconvenient perspective that some of the more well-funded and well-connected Hacker News readers would prefer to ignore.

    It's kind of subtle, but I think you're right.

There's simply no good excuse for that to be the case. And this is far from the first time. Conclusions must be drawn.
