    I commented supporting Canadian boycotts of American goods - an economic protest and it got removed by Reddit admins for “glorifying violence”

    Advocate for antivax bullshit that kills people? Sure! Encourage politicians to stop live-saving cancer research, gut the VA, and reduce safety standards that will have more people suffering? Cool beans!

    Oh, you don’t like that and want to voice your opinion? GFY

      My country is about to strap a guy to a chair and have 3 government employees fire a gun at him. And that’s fine.

        Assuming this is America, that guy requested for that to happen because it’s a less excruciating death than the other chair.

        But here’s why it’s still an issue: being shot should not be the most humane option we give someone lmfao

          There has been serious doubt that painkillers in lethal injection were enough to work. But the death penalty should be off the table since so many are wrongly convinced, unless the convicted requests it as the more humane option, because prison is currently retributive and cruel, rather than rehabilitative and humane.

    If you thought Reddit was anything but on the side of Elon, Thiel, and the Nazi plutocrats, you haven’t been paying attention. And it will get worse and worse as time goes on.

    They’re trying to control the conversation to the point that the Overton Window embraces open fascism, and it’s working.

      Take this as a very good sign. They are afraid of implications of spreading this discourse. Go forth widely and proclaim it: “eat the rich”.

      But in all seriousness let’s not loose the momentum. Online or offline we need to continue to push this narrative against capital, corruption, and genocide.

    I’m just going to assume every billionaire pulling this shit for trump has an unfathomably disgusting record in the Epstein files. There’s no way that every single one of them is deciding to be this overtly fucking pathetic.

    I got a 7 day ban for mentioning that someone managed to make Musk’s AI say Musk and Trump deserve the death penalty in a thread shitting on Musk’s AI. I tried to appeal the ban asking how mentioning this was “promoting violence” and I got permabanned with no explanations. Reddit has become a fucking cesspool.

      Wait? Really? Fuck me. I was supporting the proletariat because I thought we were gonna allow people to eat people. This is not the revolution I signed up for. What am I going to do with all this extra meat?! My freezer is completely full.

        You know how it’s normally not good for you to eat heavily processed foods? Same goes for rich people. They are so full of chemicals and plastics that you’re better off not literally eating them.
