I find it fascinating which instances of governments violently oppressing their own people get the press excited enough to report, and which the press just buries.
I would assume that the downvotes are because you're asking for a thread on the atrocities happening in Chile be hijacked to talk about something else. It's extremely insensitive.
@dang, is there perhaps a loophole in protection against coordinated flagging? While one might argue that the original comment sounded a bit conspirological, the comments mentioning Uyghurs were not breaking any guidelines or doing anything deserving to be flagged.
IMO you can't just hijack a thread like you're trying to do, if you want to talk about Uyghurs, there are threads about it already, or, just create your own.
