I won't be surprised if this gets flagged or suppressed for discussion anyway. But the grandparent has a point and isn't wrong...

I'm not sure why anybody would be surprised that a post complaining about "sub-80 IQ rightwing|leftwing hot takes" gets downvoted or flagged. Isn't the point of HN that it doesn't host the usual hateful garbage?

Sure, but HN also shouldn't host the usual political "hot takes" the GGGP pointed out. What's happening here is that unsubstantive comments are given a pass if they meet the "correct opinion" standard.
Neither type of comment should fly.
