"exhibit 2736372 of "why political articles on HN are bad"."
What you have done is say some one must leave the country and cannot argue for some sort of change because you don't like it. That is the behavior of the quoted Africa remark. Which is a questionable remark in it's self.
Which is why HN is a really bad place for political articles. HN attracts people who believe in momentous change, rather than incremental change: no matter how many times it's pounded in that startups aren't a get-rich-quick scheme, you still have people who think that their big idea is going to make them the CEO of the next Internet giant.
As for your failed interpretations of my intent and arguing such points, by your continued comments on this matter you are displaying your own willingness to argue this point.
