"I have been shadowbanned, again, by HN. ... It just goes to show, even here on HN, if you don't stick to the 'THIS SIDE GOOD THAT SIDE BAD' narrative, your voice WILL be restricted."
That's an objectively false conspiracy theory. We don't even need to touch the Iran ramblings.

1) I open a private window and view this thread - there are five total posts by me.
2) when logged in, there are seven posts - this is what's called "shadow banned"
3) in the private tab, one of my posts is flagged, it's specifically the one where I say "this is what happens in our world when you don't uncritically and simplistically stick to one side bad or one side good"
Your response: "You're not shadow banned"
HN response to my post: [flagged]

You: "objectively false conspiracy theories"
Me: "CIA/MI6 coup of 1953 that overthrew Iran's democratically elected government to protect Western oil interests"
Title: "CIA/MI6 coup of 1953 that overthrew Iran's democratically elected government to protect Western oil interests"
In the opening paragraph:
"On 19 August 1953, Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh was fired by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran .... It was instigated by the United Kingdom (MI6), under the name Operation Boot and the United States (CIA), under the name TP-AJAX Project or Operation Ajax. A key motive was to protect British oil interests in Iran after Mosaddegh nationalized the country's oil industry."
Your response: "ramblings"
You're really not very good at being faced with objective facts that interfere with your worldview, whether it's HN or Iran.
That's an objectively false conspiracy theory. We don't even need to touch the Iran ramblings.
