Topics near current political issues are always a dumpster fire. If you really must comment just assume you're going to be downvoted and strawmanned so you won't be disappointed. Good luck with your journey and have a nice day yourself.
Sounds like you were posting about politics so the flagging was appropriate. You also were asking about TL;DRs which are explicitly not on-topic on HN. I'm not sure you've grasped the culture here to be honest.
This one statement of yours crystallizes the bigger flaw in your perspective, though: "I could get referral into decent university through this about the fact that I have commented some deep things on Hackernews."
You are over-valuing HN. A good comment here doesn't get you into college. A bad comment here doesn't change what your employees will think of you if you have some in the future. Overall, HN is not required to model itself to your desired topics and conversations. While it is a really decent place that many of us enjoy, it is still just a discussion board. And one that works exactly because the community monitors and moderates it.
If you don't like the moderation and truly feel wronged, email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com.
BTW, Odds are this post will also get flagged because complaining about flagging is another topic that is not interesting.
