As a leftist I am sick and tired of censorship to a point that it infuriates me. I have had so many accounts on the internet banned on just about every site that it has completely handicapped my ability to use the internet as a source of great joy of having the freedom to express myself how I want to. I know I am not the only one who is furious about this and there are many more people who feel the same way. Right wingers are expected to be fascist and oppressive and the left is supposed to be the side who is against that and yet they left is just as bad at censoring as the right is and I don't understand how more people don't recognize how bad and illogical it is. We basically have 2 sides that love to censor.

Even "X" is supposed to be against censorship and yet still practices mass censorship and I have had multiple accounts shadow banned or fully banned from there.

Why can't there be a site like Youtube or Reddit where everything that is deemed against whatever rules they have is simply just given a disclaimer that the user who wants to view it just has to agree to it that they still want to view it? It is ridiculous that anybody likes anything that is "hardcore" or "edgy" or "outside of the box" including with their music tastes or comedy tastes or political opinions or whatever else it is they have basically nowhere to go in mainstream society and censorship has basically been accepted on both sides of the political spectrum.

There should be mainstream anti-censorhip websites and I am asking why people are not fighting for this more. Society is being severely harmed by all of the censorship. I also never said that sites who promote themselves as a specific private group need to let others join because they are establishing themselves as their own private group. Large sites like Youtube and reddit should be for everyone but they are not, not at all.....so people should be pissed off and demanding there be large anti-censorship sites and people can turn on different types of usage of the site as they choose....such as if they want "kid friendly only" there is an option for that....if somebody wants "no censorsip for anything" there is an option for that

    The very moment you advertise you're anti-censorship, you get nazis.

    And no one wants to have their community filled with nazis, so those places either die, or they become explicitly nazi communities.

    There it is. Defending the Nazis, while trying to spin it as if you aren't.

    It has nothing to do with being scared of what people say. It has everything to do with cutting out the shit parts of humanity, getting rid of a cancer.

    So you think calling people “retarded” is a totally fine way to express your frustration with having an inability to conduct yourself like an adult?

    I see why you keep getting banned.
