The moderators don't seem to want this to show up on HN. A previous attempt at posting it was removed in short order.

Moderators didn't touch this. Users flagged it.

That's nearly always the case when you see [flagged] on a submission, btw. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

(It's a bit more complex with comments, but also the majority of [flagged] comments are flagged by users, not mods.)

Well... can you remove the flag, please? Why in the world are we not supposed to be talking about one of the most influential, powerful people - a tech icon of all things - in all of humanity's history doing a Nazi salute on stage to thunderous applause?

It seems entirely disingenuous to come into this thread and pretend you are entirely separated from the flagging of this post when you are actively supporting it!

HN's principle is to have intellectually curious conversation about topics that gratify intellectual curiosity. It seems pretty obvious that this isn't that.

Was pg's post about "woke ideology" an intellectually curious conversation starter?

Sure. Certainly far more than this story.

That's not to say that the HN discussion went well, but we can't control that. We can only play the odds, and it's important to.
