I love that when Republicans call for people to be murdered it’s not a crime, but if I posted that Republicans should be executed I’d probably be in jail
In the aftermath of Kirk getting shot, didn't people lose their fucking jobs for being overly truthful about the kinds of shit that Kirk actually said? Like people were not being sufficiently mournful enough over this national hero or something, FFS.
But, IOKIYAR. Republicans can call for their "enemies" to be murdered, but if Democrats don't bow and scrape after a shitheel like Kirk is shot, well, then, Katy bar the door.
Pretty much, shit is fucked
People were losing their jobs for repeating things Charlie Kirk said word for word. But there was no pearl clutching when he said that "some patriot" should bail out the man who attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer. Not uproar over trump saying he was glad that Robert Mueller had died. They know that they're hypocrites, but they've realized that decency and the social contract in general can be wielded as a cudgel if your side collectively agrees to give themselves a pass.
If someone is just going to choose to be a destabilizing agent in society and deliberately psychologically assault people, they should be removed.
Send them to prison like Johnny Somali.
Reminds me of the CEO of Flock who said that people taking down flock cameras are terrorists, like antifa.
JFC, I just can't with these people.
You just need to post 8647 and they try to throw you in jail.
that's kind of how I got banned on reddit
I posted a shitpost comment on a Luigi meme and that got me banned on Reddit
At this point Zionseddit is going to ban anyone for speaking against the Epstein class, while r/conservative gets a pass to constantly post hate and misinformation, while making vague suggestions about taking care of the libs. The auto mods have gotten out of control, to the point of making the entire platform unusable.
Any attempt at political discourse on Reddit is pathetic and its utility has been reduced to mindless TikTok drivel, 15-sec porn clips with no apparent limits on ethics, karma farming and bot posts to push ad traffic.
So working as intended
I can’t believe I never got banned. I just left because it’s a bot farm.
I got banned for something dumb and then dumbass ADHD me kept accidentally commenting at worldnews lololol
I post that all the time, because it's true
