It’s also funny that rather than removing all of my comments, they just decided to remove those I referenced and one particular reply, meaning whoever they were they cared more about the narrative and making the conversation unintelligible so that in the framing that was left people could just fill in the gaps just based on the downvotes and the accusations.

Like I said to some people and now extend to the mod,

I love how people like you are the flip side equal of Trump people warping reality to shit on it. Same bullshit, both sides aren’t equal but people like you certainly resemble them closer.

ITT, people who couldn’t comprehend cult psychology (and given the inherent Stanford prison experiment abuse within it, any psychology) or even the inevitable conclusion of what they are claiming and accuse me for being ignorant of what I’m literally alluding to in the first comment.

Even supposing that there was some legitimacy to the removals, it’s telling how selective it was and where it wasn’t. And literally labeling nuance “trolling” in a circlejerk meme reddit … probably makes sense. But still, imagine being so fragile the huge number of downvotes could not do it for you.

Some of you really want to divide society as much as MAGA does. My message didn’t neatly fit into the circlejerk meme, so I guess I must be “trolling, or worse” - amazing.

I can also confirm, can’t delete or edit the comments to provide context, but people can still vote on comments that have been removed. Huh, didn’t think I’d find something like this reddit was so clearly better at. So now I guess I know why they decided to selectively remove comments and framed the thread into what has been left.

    I’m sorry but your temp ban from that community imo is justified. The line between shitposting and trolling is quite fine. However sympathy for Neo-Nazism and blaming people who are pointing it out for why they support it is well beyond a reasonable shitpost. The Texit-style remark really is the part that is troll-like if you aren’t serious, and if you are serious you absolutely are falling for Trump and his team’s divisive rhetoric. I’ll attempt to explain.

    Not everyone who supports Trump is a Nick Fuentes character, of course. But denying the association is just deluding yourself. In order to establish a tolerant society we mustn’t tolerate intolerance. Pushing racist, misogynist, xenophobic views is not something that can be “heard out”, if you will. The thing is the right-wing media network attaches real problems and struggles that people have, to hating and blaming your neighbour for it. With Nazism that was blaming Jews for various economic and societal problems that Germans had. We must separate the problem from the hate to even discuss a solution, and identifying that to a person is one of the first steps. We cannot start at a position that entertains the hateful argument or association as legitimate, we start from what the problem actually is and that involves calling out and recognizing the hateful parts for what they are. That is why the Democrats are appealing to both progressive-lites, liberals and past Trump voters on the issues, while MAGA is all in on the conspiracy theories, fabricated stories, fear, division and hate-based politics.

    Hopefully this helps with understanding a little.
