I'd say it's the rejection of a tangential political snipe in support of autocratic authoritarianism, in a place where it isn't going to lead to a fleshed-out discussion.
Keep turning the screws on people, and some people will turn to property destruction. The individual acts are wrong and misguided. But the overall dynamic is completely understandable, and ignoring it is as disingenuous as "let them eat cake".
Flagged and dead? Are we to take that as Y-Combinator officially endorsing violent rioting and property destruction?
What makes you think this? It was flagged by users. No moderators had touched it, or seen it.
Flagging is one thing, but I assume that there is a human in the loop before a user is put in the dead state.
