In the spirit of transparency, and as a new community, we are implementing a necessary rule to begin challenging the status quo and prevent potential bad faith actors.

We are here to document hypocrisy and foster genuine debate. For that to happen, ideas must remain visible long enough to be challenged.

The Mechanics of Silence

It is crucial to distinguish between disagreement and suppression.

  • Passive Disagreement is simply scrolling past a post you don't like.
  • Active Suppression is using the downvote button to bury the topic so that no one else can see it.

When you downvote without commenting, you are not engaging in the debate—you are removing the ability for anyone to have the debate. You are effectively deciding that the topic should not exist for others.

The Problem with Silence

Silent downvoting attempts to censor viewpoints without ever having to do the work of formulating a counter-argument.

Since our mission is to expose and discuss double standards, we cannot function if the content is being hidden before the conversation even begins.

The New Standard

To ensure this community remains a place for discussion rather than suppression, we are setting a higher standard for participation.

  • The Rule: If you care enough to influence the visibility of our content (vote), you are expected to leave a comment explaining your reasoning.
  • The Logic: We are asking for substance. If a post is factually wrong or hypocritical, tell us. But clicking a button to make content disappear without explanation is a refusal to engage in the very purpose of this community.

Enforcement & Restoring Access

Effective immediately, users who engage in "drive-by downvoting" will be banned. However, this ban is not permanent.

  • Reinstatement Process: If you are banned for this, simply message the mods. We will unban you immediately to allow you to participate.
  • Staying Unbanned: Once reinstated, you are expected to follow the rules. You will be banned again—and this time the ban will remain in place until you demonstrate a genuine willingness to engage in good faith.
    • Defining "Good Faith": Rejoining simply to leave a low-effort negative comment so you can "technically" follow the rules to downvote again will not be tolerated.
    • Reasonable Effort: We expect a willingness to discuss and debate. Low-effort insults or trolling comments used as a loophole to justify a downvote will result in a ban.
    • Timing Matters: Even if you comment, immediate downvoting often signals a closed mind. We ask that you allow the debate to unfold and give space for the discussion to happen before trying to bury the post.

"Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?"

There is not a thing that comes to mind

Later:

You asked me what is the difference between Joe Biden and me — that will be one of the differences. I’m going to have a Republican in my Cabinet

YouTuber @WolvesAndFinance shows how Erika Kirk's endorsement of JD Vance at Turning Point USA's America Fest is illegal under IRS tax code which prohibits a 501(c)(3) non-profit from endorsing a political candidate, and how as tax payers we end up subsidizing this. Not a single peep from Democrats though. Why aren't they investigating? Do they have something to hide as well? Here is the timestamp for most relevant info.

Using the word Zionist negatively to describe the imperialists & colonialists will now get you banned on Twitch. Probably won't be long before Democrats try to make it illegal here just like many authoritarian European countries.

Hypocrisy Killing Democracy

📢 The Mission

Documenting the decline, one double standard at a time.

We are tired of being gaslit. This is a dedicated space for pointing and laughing at the "Rules for Thee, But Not for Me" crowd. We prioritize consistency over party loyalty.


🕵️‍♂️ The Usual Suspects

We judge actions, not labels.

We focus on the people who sold out the public trust. We don't care what team they claim to be on. We are here to expose the following groups.

🤑 The Donor-Class Puppets

Politicians who campaign on helping the working class, then vote exclusively to protect the special interests funding their re-election.

🌍 The Selective Humanitarians

Leaders who preach peace and "human rights" to get your vote, while funding endless wars and looking the other way when their donors and partners commit atrocities.

📈 The Capitol Hill Day-Traders

Public servants who enter office with debt and leave as multi-millionaires, trading stocks based on the very laws they write.

⚖️ The System Riggers

Officials who weaponize censorship, the justice system, and "process" to crush their opposition, ensuring the game is always fixed in their favor.

🎭 The Culture War Distractors

Leaders who push identity politics and social division to keep you angry, so you don't notice they are picking your pocket.


💣 The Ammo

Exposing the gap between what they preach and what they practice.

🔥 Memes & Satire

Satire is our sharpest tool. If it exposes a double standard and hurts a hypocrite's feelings, it belongs here.

📹 Unfiltered Commentary

We welcome videos and deep dives from creators brave enough to call out the Establishment. If they are willing to roast their own side for the sake of the truth, we want to see it.

🧾 The Receipts

Evidence is king. Video clips, old tweets, and voting records that prove they are lying to your face.

🙃 Reality Check

Stories so absurd they sound like satire, but are actually real life.


⚖️ Rules of Engagement

Our Philosophy

Free Speech, Not Free Rein.

We are strictly anti-censorship and anti-cancel culture. We want this community to be a true town square where debate is welcome, even if it gets heated.

We prefer debate over bans, but we will protect the quality of that debate from bad-faith suppression (like drive-by downvoting). Violations of these standards will result in a ban. However, we believe in dialogue—bans are likely not permanent, unless the violations are gravely severe. If you get banned but want to participate in good faith, reach out to the mods. We want you here.

🥊 Punch Up (Mostly)

Our primary targets are the architects of the hypocrisy—politicians, billionaires, and media giants. However, we won't ignore a perfect example of the double standard. Just ensure the goal is exposing the mindset, not personal bullying.

⚠️ Simp at Your Own Risk

This isn't a fan club. You are free to defend a politician if you want, but if you defend a hypocrite, expect to get roasted. We value consistent principles over blind loyalty. If you come here to make excuses for the powerful, don't be surprised when the community calls you out on it.

🃏 Satire vs Reality

We love a fake quote if it's a joke. We hate a fake quote if you're trying to trick us. If you post satire, make sure the punchline is clear. If you post news, make sure it's real. Don't become the MSM.

🗽 Liberty & Law

We stand for free speech, individual liberty, and democratic values. We welcome heated debate, but we draw the line at illegal acts. No calls for violence, doxxing, or slander. We are here to attack ideas and hypocrisy, not to organize harassment campaigns.

🗣️ Use Your Words

No Silent Suppression.

We value debate, not algorithmic hiding. Silent downvoting acts as a form of censorship by burying the topic before a conversation can happen.

The Standard If you care enough to vote, care enough to comment. Downvotes must be accompanied by a comment explaining the disagreement.

The Expectation We want to know why you disagree. If you aren't willing to engage in the debate, do not try to suppress it for others.


The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite.
