It looks like you've been using Hacker News exclusively for political battle. That's against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. We ban accounts that do it, regardless of their politics, because that way of using the site destroys the intellectual curiosity that it exists for. Some political overlap is of course inevitable—see the links below for explanation—but accounts whose purpose is to prosecute an agenda rather than meander curiously are not in the spirit of this site and in fact are destructive to that spirit.
Since this is a single-purpose account, I've banned it. If you don't want to be banned on HN, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com. We're happy to unban anyone who wants to use HN as intended in the future.
Edit: just to be clear, I don't think you were posting in bad faith. The issues are important and I'm guessing you have deep personal knowledge of them. But we simply can't have people using HN as a political platform.
