Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the "unmoderated" communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.

It's run by a fucking dickhead worshipping Musk.

Yeah, and Reddit will permaban anyone talking about "political violence", ideas like punching Nazis and harassing MAGAts, all the while giving the bastards a free ticket to do shit they want over there like destroying LGBTQ symbols.

    I just got permabanned. I have not had anything so much as a complaint about me in the 12 years I used the site, but in the last 6 months I have received 2 temp and now a perma ban for speaking out against various conservative figure heads.

    I got a 24 hour ban for saying a conservative figure should stand on her head and let the blood rush to her brain and maybe she'll have a coherent thought. I was accused of inciting violence.

    Edit: Here are the 3 things I got whacked with "inciting violence"

    1. Danielle Smith should stand on her head to let the blood rush to her brain to have a coherent thought - 24 hours
    2. Someone said JD Vance will never be president, and I responded with, "He will when DT has his heart explode from all the cheeseburgers he eats" - 3 days
    3. Kristi Noem needs to shut her fucking mouth and keep her cunt ass out of my countries business - Perma ban

    The other day I made it off hand remark about my desire to take out pent up rage on several sexual predators being shown in a video.

    Instant ban of a 13-year-old account for "threatening violence." I consider it a badge of honor against the fascist platform. Honestly it's no better than Twitter these days.

    Over on the new Digg I got a comment auto moderated by AI for describing a scenario where I angrily shakes my fist at someone and gave them a thumbs down because they almost hit a goose.

    Violence

    I'm pretty sure they stepped up the anti Trump stuff since January. I never had any problems till he was in office. Then i got a 3 day ban, then 7 day ban, then perma ban. Then they banned all my other accounts immediately. They hate people talking poorly about the dictator, but i've seen posts that said biden should burn and they stay up...

    Most people talking about "punching Nazis" are advocating punching people who are certainly far right but who have not themselves committed or threatened any acts of violence.

    The Nazis of the early 20th century were committing genocide and conquest, and the only way to stop them was through violence. But if you're talking about "punching Nazis" in the context of the UK and Frogage, their odious policies are a long way from justifying threats of violence which are rightly not legal.

    In the US where Trump is attempting a fascist takeover, time will tell whether it will take violence to dislodge. But from our position it's easy to see why a lot of these people get banned.

    The Nazis didn't just appear in Germany fully formed. Read about The Weimar Republic in the 1930s.

    We're long past the "attempted" takeover.

    The threshold of Nazi takeover could reasonably be taken to be the Enabling Act. There has been no equivalent in the US.

    no 'equivalent'

    yeah it's not taking over congress, but it was another step towards eliminating checks and balances, one that should never had been taken and hasn't led to anything positive

    I meant to add more but was pushed for time. MAGA has not legislated its authoritarianism - not yet. So far it has been done by executive order and by judicial capture. This makes it hard to judge how resilient the USA will be to it.

    What a load of sludgy shit. "from our position" - this a group statement or...? Kinda seems like you got an AI to take your position and write a comment for you - what's that called again? Nice prompt LLM master.

    Firstly,

    Most people talking about “punching Nazis” are advocating punching people who are certainly far right but who have not themselves committed or threatened any acts of violence.

    Know that do you? Besides, hate based on someone's religion or ethnicity is an act of violence in of itself.

    Beginning In the 1920's and through the '30's, years before the Nazis committed "genocide and conquest" the brown shirts and other groups walked through the streets of Germany intimidating and committing acts of violence against those they persecuted and those who disagreed with them. That's where we are now - or at least where some want to take us - so yes, punch the shit out of Nazi scum and their sympathizers.

    Curious, would you have stopped the rise of Nazism by asking them nicely?

    hate based on someone’s religion or ethnicity is an act of violence in of itself.

    Pull the other one. Violence has a meaning that every English-speaker understands, and hatred does not meet that definition.

    Curious, would you have stopped the rise of Nazism by asking them nicely?

    Well, the KPD strategy of meeting them in street brawls went so well, didn't it?

    That’s where we are now

    So, given that you just issued me a challenge about what I'd do, do I take it you're out in the street roughing up anyone with a MAGA hat?

    If not, then I think you actually understand and agree on a practical level: the situation in the US is not as clear cut as the fight against the Nazis ended up, and which people wish to invoke when they say "punch a Nazi."

    Answers no questions, half-quotes a statement to make a point, completely ignores getting caught using AI to write your comment then edits out the giveaway. Alright mate go ahead you're doing a great job out here.

    All your questions sounded rhetorical to me. I responded to what I had something to respond with.

    caught

    hahahahahahaha

    edits

    Are you OK? I haven't edited any of my comments on here. Is the AI in the room with you now?
