The issue is that you're breaking the site guidelines, which all exist for good reasons. They're organized around trying to preserve this place for its intended purpose, which is curious conversation on topics of intellectual interest. If you want to keep posting here, we need you to use HN in that spirit: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
You can't judge this by upvotes alone (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). Lots of things that break the HN guidelines—like sensationalism, indignation, and political battle—routinely get plenty of upvotes. That's why we need moderation in the first place: to help jig the system out of its failure modes.
"Calling out" and the like is a really bad marker for HN comments. It's the sort of thing people do from entrenched, emotionally charged, pre-existing positions. Perhaps you're right that others are morally preening or double standarding or whatever, but going on the attack in response is definitely not the curious conversation that this site is supposed to exist for.
None of this, btw, has to do with agreeing or disagreeing with your particular views. I don't know or care what those are. This is just routine and obvious HN moderation, and would apply the same way if you were arguing for opposite things.
