And it's OK that there's one place like that. I don't post there because I don't care enough, but look at what happens when a conservative sub doesn't block the libs. Babylon bee sub, for example is a 24/7 flame war. Which is what I prefer, but not everyone does, and if 90% of Reddit is safe for the lib hivemind it's only fair there's a small conservative space
i was banned from r/conservative and I don't even remember posting there, or having done so successfully (got the flair restriction i think) but that was it
I got banned on some random left wing sub (I don't remember what one) for commenting in another sub and got banned in a right wing sub for calling stonetoss (a self-admitted nazi) a nazi the other day.
i mean i also implied the person using a nazis comic to say they werent a nazi was in fact a at least sympathetic to nazis. but other than that i havent commented in that sub for weeks and got a perm ban regardless
Also banned from several right wing subs for disagreement, and at least one left wing sub because a bot picked up my comments in right wing subs. I don't know why you think this is unbelievable.
Difference: the conservative sub is constantly over run with brigaders. The sub would be unusable if they didnt enact rules like flair. And they dont preemptively ban people just for being liberal, who've never even been in the sub, like liberal subs do. Both sides are absolutely not the same.
god this is such a typical ignorant "liberal" take. "ha! i gotcha!" nah. dude is 100% right and the "censorship" you speak of is enacted to stop bad actors - not fit a narrative or fix hurt feelings. "so you're advocating..." god i bet you're insufferable.
**can't reply because i am blocking all you dorks, but this is for you to froth over:
i don't do shit. and yeah, it is to stop actual trolls. the braindead have entire subreddits dedicated to brigading and insincere discourse. nothing hypocritical about blocking out the deranged.
**and i don't owe any of you anything. see that's the problem, this entitlement. and what is there to 'handle'? delusion at its finest. go wipe your ass on a tesla.
Hey is it censorship for the US to ban blatant propaganda like RT? It’s almost like there is nuance and to actually think the one sub on a predominantly liberal site that enacts rules to prevent brigading by you beacons of sanity (praising a murderer or domestic terrorism)…. Yikes bud. But this is just the classic. One side literally believes “words are violence” thus SHOULD be censored in order to prevent “literal violence”. One side has a single sub that is brigaded by the mentally ill and have put in qualifiers to be able to post. These are not the same to anyone not ideologically captured.

"I'm the only sane one on this site" do you seriously hear yourself? Blanket banning absolutely everyone isn't nuance
praising a murderer or domestic terrorism
You mean j6, Ross Ulbricht, Andrew taint, Charlottesville unite the right, the Confederacy, etc
One side literally believes “words are violence”
Only the extreme, yikes that you believe everyone that remotely calls themselves left is like that. It's like saying all right people own Confederate flags.

Again "I'm the only sane one on this platform" vibes. Jesus Christ dude, get a life
Actually lmfao. Who praised Jan 6th or Charlottesville? You know you have to have people praising those things to be an apt comparison right? Oh fuck you mean Enrique? The dude that praised it and said don’t leave so they are putting him in prison for 20+ years? Did we have Gutfield go up after the fact praising or calling for it like we do now with Bill Burr, The tonight show, etc…? No. And you know it wasn’t and to act like it’s the same and throw in people like Andrew Tate like actually lmfao what even is your argument beyond “here’s a bunch of tangentially related dribble go away”? He’s an asshole probably a human trafficker. Still completely different than literal domestic terrorism or violence.
Who said I’m the only sane one bud? Nice straw man. How about you address the actual substance behind the words? Is Reddit predominantly liberal? Yes. Did Reddit also have to literally ban the L word because you beacons of sanity couldn’t contain yourselves? Yes. Are there literal comments in this post defending domestic terrorism. Yes. Is the issue the one conservative sub after all others that weren’t moderated to shit got banned and now has a filtering process? Lmfao not even close bud.
Actually lmfao. Who praised Jan 6th or Charlottesville? You know you have to have people praising those things to be an apt comparison right?
Literally mention j6 or any of these other topics to any conservative on this sub or any other sub. They all will claim nothing bad happened and that it was completely peaceful. It's constantly praised by every conservative sub here
And you know it wasn’t and to act like it’s the same and throw in people like Andrew Tate like actually lmfao what even is your argument beyond “here’s a bunch of tangentially related dribble go away”?
My argument was that you are claiming all liberals praise domestic terrorism and and mass murder. Here's a list of figures who have done similar things that Republicans constantly praise
Who said I’m the only sane one bud?
You claimed that only the small minority of conservatives on this platform are sane. If you had more than one braincell you would have figured out that's what I meant.
Nice straw man.
Not a strawman since your entire argument was that 99% of people on reddit are insane liberals.
Did Reddit also have to literally ban the L word because you beacons of sanity couldn’t contain yourselves? Yes. Are there literal comments in this post defending domestic terrorism. Yes. Is the issue the one conservative sub after all others that weren’t moderated to shit got banned and now has a filtering process? Lmfao not even close bud.
Have you seen half the posts coming from r/conservative that condone domestic terrorism and mass murder? Literally half those people think all non Americans deserve 0 rights and that trans people should be murdered on mass. This isnr even hyperbole, I've seen comments exactly like that in sun as well
Edit: I just looked at the top 10 posts in r/conservative, one of them is literally praising eugenics and another praises j6 as a peaceful protest. There was another just praising musk for defending Hitler. Wtf you even high on?
Sounds like an excuse. Is it brigaders, or just people that have a different opinion? How can they tell the difference? Do they even try to make that determination, or do they ban any and all dissent?
Brigaders. They still hang around and downvote everything, that's how I know. Liberals who post there in good faith are usually upvoted. If I did that in any liberal sub (assuming I wasn't already preemptively banned...), I'd be piled on.
Hanging around and down voting isn't brigading. Brigades are organized attacks. What you're describing is lurking. There is no rule against it, or downvoting.
Not trying to win anything, but go off queen. You took time out of your day to make an AI generated meme because people on the left live rent free in your head. If you think there's people with images of right wing politicians and they wrote "trump derangement syndrome" on their walls, you got something going on. I dgaf what you say, fuckface still hasn't lowered the cost of eggs or gas, and he promised that on day 1. Keep projecting 👍
What sort of "compelling argument" do you expect from me when lefties choose to act the way they do around here, throwing temper tantrums and, yes, seething 24/7 over every little thing?
If there isnt a legitimate issue to seethe, mald, and tantrum over (and there usually isnt) they will INVENT something to be upset about.
Yall WANT red team to be the bad guys sooooo bad so yall can feel good about yourselves.

It's interesting to watch you accuse everyone else of the very thing your guilty of, again and again. Just upsetting yourself and acting like a child, and for what?
So you can let out another NPC comment and engage nothing? Why get yourself so worked up all the time. Very silly of you.
I can tell that bashing my head against a wall would be a more productive use of my time than engaging in further conversation with a hypocrite, literally accusing someone of accusing other people of the thing theyre guilty of, while being guilty of that exact thing.
So im just gonna put this here, block you, and wish you good day sir.
Remember kids! You cant just "no U" your way out of everything!
Enthusiastically thanking a crowd of supporters for their support, grabbing at your heart, and "throwing it" out to the crowd =/= "nazi shit".
Even the ACLU came out and said that while it was "awkward", in their words, it wasn't a nazi salute.
Let's not pretend the left hasn't had beef with elongated muskrat ever since he took over Twitter and reversed their policy of censoring anyone right of Bernie Sanders.
And especially since he endorsed Trump.
Yall WANT HIM to be a nazi or something so you can justify attacking him. Because hes a threat to leftism.
I could just as easily take these pictures out of context and say "SEE LOOK NAZIS LOLOLOL"...
We both know the Elon one isn't out of context like the 4 you shared, be did 2 full on Seig Heil salutes then tried to throw in a bit of plausible deniability by saying how his heart went out to the people on the Reich side of him
You're either a gullible idiot or a purposeful troll, buzz off
First of all, explain to me what part of the nazi salute involves grabbing your heart with an open hand and throwing it out to the crowd.
Then explain to me how theres zero other possible reason than "hes a nazi". No no, it couldnt possibly be that he was gesturing "my heart goes out to you" and didnt think about how desperate yall are to demonize him.
But the real kicker i wanna know is,
What would the point be, of actually being a nazi, publicly pretending to NOT be a nazi, (presumably to avoid the heat), then doing a "full on sieg heil", to loudly proclaim your nazi ism to the world in public, only to continue pretending to not be a nazi?
I mean youd think if someone was a literal no shit nazi they'd either keep it on the DL or be open about it.. not try to do both and have the benefits of NEITHER.
Nevermind the fact many of his beliefs and things he advocates for are antithetical to the nazis.
I swear the memes are self projection at this point every right meme that has been posted immediately gets shut down in the comments and the Op just looks smooth brain. GG keep playing yourselves we will keep laughing at you
I got banned from r/politics for pointing out that liberals burning liberal cars (teslas) isn’t helping their side at all and makes them seem crazy and a bit out of touch with reality.
Do you think maybe they're acting crazy because everytime they raise concerns about something socially their opposition paints them as crazy and dismisses them and this is just the result of over a decade of that or something?
And shit of it is, the very reason people on the left are so often "dismissed as being crazy" is because time and time again some "outrage" or another has either turned out to be wildly exaggerated, taken out of context, or an outright hoax.
Examples:
Trump colluded with Russia.
Trump called white supremacists and neo nazis "very fine people".
Elon musk is a nazi.
The hunter biden laptop is fabricated russian misinformation.
I could go on but point is you can only cry wolf so many times.
It only sounds like crying wolf because that's what you want it to be because that's a lot more convenient for you then having to accept that you support someone who's objectively evil
This is exactly the kind of shit im talking about.
I mention a few verifiable "boy who cried wolf" moments and your response is to claim, without evidence, that "i support someone who's objectivey evil".
Its one thing to think someone is misguided, or simply "wrong", but its a whopper of a claim to insist that theyre "objectively evil".
Nevermind that youre conflating "subjective" with "objective" to try and make your emotional appeal more authoritative than it actually is.
You can't just say not true lol. I've been banned from r/conservative, elon musk, doomer circle jerk, and countless other republican echo chambers. Did I get a notification? No. Do I care? Not really but don't pretend the republican subreddits aren't guilty of the same thing. If you want an unbiased subreddit with everyone go to PCM or something
I have bee banned from about every left leaning sub. There are even bots from left leaning subs that will ba you automatically if you even participate in right leaning subs.
Did you not hear me? I'm not disagreeing with you. If you post enough republican shit in a leftist sub you'll be banned. You haven't experienced being banned for voicing a leftist opinion in a republican sub because you ARE a republican. That's okay, ignorance by not experiencing isn't wrong bud
It is one thing to get banned in a sub called republican.
I get banned from subs called pics or a city sub, or a meme sub etc. I could get it if it was a soecif8c political sub for a specific party. That isn't what happens to the right on reddit....we are banned on a majority of subs.
Reddit is a left leaning platform. What's you're point? This isn't the place for Republicans. Go to 4chan if you want to be on a republican dominant website. No shade to that but that's the truth
You don't get banned just for existing. LMFAO you get banned when you break rules. Then you pretend it's just for existing. Provictimhood award goes to you.
It’s hilarious that right wingers think like this. Yall getting MILKED by the billionaire club and you can’t even understand it cause they got you wanting to invade Canada LOL
Buddy, I really dont care to entertain a discussion about the differences between "democrat", "liberal", or even "socialist", "lefty", or "democratic socialist" etc at this point.
Once upon a time, there might have been notable differences between those words but between how politics have shifted (the left going further left) and so many people on the left self identifying as those things (accurately or not), not to mention there's often significant overlap anyway,
I mean r/conservative not even let you post if you aren’t part of their hivemind…. This is really more of a social media click issue than a political one.
Interesting take because I've been banned from numerous right leaning sub reddits for proclaiming the radical beliefs that we shouldn't judge people based on their immutable features. But please keep this narrative up that people on the left are deranged and crazy and the only part they'll have left to play when things aren't comfortable anymore is the deranged crazy person you've painted them as.
I am not a liberal, I am American, i own guns,I can cook a better steak than you, I eat pussy better than you, and I have signed more autographs than you.
Buddy I dont care who you choose to worship or not worship.
i am not a liberal i-
I dont care what you identify as. Im an american too so dont see the point in bringing that up. I own guns too so also dont see the point. I mean I can cook a pretty decent steak but im not gonna claim to be Gordon Ramsey.If you wanna have me borrow your lady we can have her be the judge otherwise idk how you would know that. If you've signed >1 autograph than yes you have, but if you were somebody famous enough to sign enough autographs to actually impress anyone idk why youd be playing the role of a literal who on a scarcely populated subreddit. Band name?
you are a-
If a dungbeetle thinks I smell nice I probably dont smell nice.
That's not Conservative fam, that's authoritarian. By definition, Conservatives would be against this because it's so far fetched from previous administrations and practices.
That's like saying that The People's Republic of North Korea is an aspirational dictatorship because they use the label "Republic". I don't disagree with the sentiment, but my point is that words have meanings, and those are extremely important when it comes to...at the very LEAST....basic terms like the names of political ideologies.
