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.

Comic strip: Makes fun of American neo-nazis.

Nuanced opinion: Some of my friends look kind of like that guy. Are you calling me a nazi? Okay then, let's go, time for a civil war.

I've said it before and I will say it again.

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.

The comic was not focused on making fun of American neo-Nazis, rather, it portrays a profoundly twisted caricature of MAGA voters that makes them all out to be neo-Nazis. You'd be closer to the truth if you left the neo- part, but I doubt you'd truly realize why.

As to the allusion to the US Civil War or World War II, where division was as irrecoverably rampant, you'd have to be a moron not to see that that is the inevitable conclusion when all you want to see is the worst of the other side. Trump may be a problem, but supposing Harris wins, you will still have Trumpers left over. It got this bad when things were much better, and while they don't mind burning bridges, clearly the flip side of the coin that you are does not mind burning bridges either. Biggest difference between you and me, I can easily follow this to its inevitable conclusion, but if Harris is being such a great candidate it's because she's not burning bridges like you guys are.

I doubt you know nuance. Knowing nuance involves not running off into wild caricatures, gross exaggerations, and outright lies like you have. While I was accused of trolling, your comment is a prime example of it.
