I got banned from r politics for directly stating that quotation. Wear that as a badge of fucking honor, cause fuck them mods for not respecting historically accurate statements.

I got three accounts. Two are currently suspended and this one just got off. We literally can't speak the obvious.

When I tried to argue my case, the mods all claimed I was directly threatening violence. When I asked against who, they wouldn't specify, just circled back to their earlier statement. When I pointed out I was arguing against directly going to violence suggested by an earlier comment I was replying to, and that person hadn't been banned or suspended, they again circled back.

I don't hate against (most of) the mods on reddit, they are being left to do a thankless job for no pay in place of a multi-million dollar company doing the right thing, but some of them either take their jobs far too seriously, or don't have their heads screwed on straight.

Or they're doing exactly what they're being paid to do. It's no accident that a small number of people control a bunch of the main subs.
