Regarding your later submission
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25220803 (and
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25221132), this probably died because it violated both the letter of HN's guidelines and the spirit of HN.
https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html has more, especially:
"please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."
submit "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
"Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity."
If your main goal is to make a political or ideological point and you're willing to heavily editorialize in order to do that, the site you want is Change.org.
