So how is this not flagged, whereas this other post lasted literally minutes before being flagged? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47612053 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47612053 75000+ palestinians killed, arguably one of the defining crimes of our age are not worth HN discussion (“politics”) but one F15E shot down in a war of choice is (apparently, “tech”)?

You don't see anything about Russias invasion either. 1.5 million casualties and counting.

  that's exactly my perspective on it. it's not about the ukranian, sudanese, Syrian, Irani or Yemeni. those lives seem to be way less worthy of press judging for the coverage the left want to put in Palestinian people. it doesn't follow the principle of equal value on lives but a political agenda and mountains of useful trend followers

    Let's not confuse things. One thing is lives lost at a war, another thing is lives lost at a genocide.

      One is victim if genocide. Other us someone who attempted genocide and was stopped by force.

    Unlike Ukraine, Yemen, Syria and Sudan, the United States has been involved in the Gaza war since Day 1. It's not that the deaths are more valuable, it's that those are the civilian deaths the United States is most-culpable for.
  - watwut 6mo ago
    I mean, there is differe between civilians killed by soldiers and ... literally soldiers who are there for the purpose of killing locals. Russian army can stop the invasion any time they decide and individual men who are there were hired as aggressors.

    Hello psyop account, how are you doing? >You can tell because they're all like "Russian gets shot in the ass by a drone LOL" with Metallica playing in the background, like they're not even trying. Literally every war has combat footage coming out of it that has music overlayed into it. See /r/combatfootage.

Being the most technologically advanced aircraft in history, one could argue that's a tech novelty they got shut down by some obliterated, imprecise weaponry.

  > Being the most technologically advanced aircraft in history... More advanced than the F-117? The B-2? The SR-71? Nah. Maybe you're confusing the F-15 and the F-35?
  - hirako2000 6mo ago
    My mistake, yes I was. Some F-35 did get damaged recently, I assumed it would be another one since it made the top list of hackernews. It stands peculiar this post wasn't flagged and removed as "politics". I was being sarcastic, even if another F-35 was shot, why should it go through the strict guidelines.
    - randomNumber7 6mo ago
      And another mistake (sorry). The F-22 is more advanced even if it is older. The F-35 was developed because the US didn't want to export the F-22 tech to other countries.

  Being the most technologically advanced aircraft in 1969 ... a novelty indeed.

Yeah an F-15 shootdown is about tech. Palestinians being killed is horrible, but that doesn't mean it fits here.
