Reddit passes out warnings and bans at the slightest hint of me “approving of violence,” even when I upvote something as small as saying “hey maybe arrest the men who execute innocent people,” so uhhhh, I’ll just say that here.
We should imprison all ICE agents. And if they were to go missing and/or die, I would not lose a wink of sleep.
Reddit is doing what every oligarch in history has ever done, make the dictator happy to hold onto their wealth and power.
When this all started last year I got a bot suspension and a strike for violating rule 1 (advocating for violence towards people) by pointing out that one could sabotage ICE vehicles by dropping sugar in a gas tank. Won the appeal and got the strike removed but it’s sure a joke of a website.
I just got unsuspended after 7 days for roughly the same thing. Fuck that site.
My account of over 18 years was permabanned after 2 AI-given strikes for upvoting Luigi pictures, and a third one for saying “if he could just not wake up this time, that’d be great” on a pic of Trump snoozing.
That place has gone to the dogs.
The Fediverse has tons of problems too, don't get me wrong, but at least it allows for free expression.
I've said some truly deranged takes here and at worst the mods just delete my comments, which is honestly fair. Meanwhile I suggest that the Saudi royal family should all fall into a river and drown and oh no I get banned from reddit, this was like 4 years ago BTW.
reddits AI moderation is something new, they hadnt done before until last year, i think thats where people were catching multiple bans.
I made reference to a movie there and was given a suspension. It was about a group of white guys hunting a homeless black man in the forest. Reddit is a cesspit of fascist apologia at best.
AI striked multiple of my accounts, the last one got off of a technicality, they had since patched.
thats lucky, unspensions are pretty rare, once you get banned, im guessing if you arnt shadowbanned.
I am vehemently anti-death penalty. That said, I have zero problem whatsoever with making violation of the public trust and willful abuse of power by elected and appointed officials into a capital offense. And, quite honestly, for crimes as egregious as this, maybe that punishment should be publicly executed.
they already banned "doxxing" the ICE pigs, and ive seen quite a few astroturfing going on since day 1.
This was their plan
I think it’s just the result of answering to the almighty dollar: money comes first, people a distant third.
Nah, Spez has shown sympathy to Nazis.
Are you on the side of the rule of law and democracy or the side of might makes right? Because, I'm not aware of any way to have people 'go missing' in prison that would not violate the constitution.
I believe the first part but think the second part is abhorrent and unAmerican.
ICE has forfeited the rule of law that protects society. Between the memo disregarding the Constitution and their actions, they have become the realworld version of Fallout raiders.
I agree, and I hope we see a lot of them in prison for this.
Their actions do not justify even more people to ignore the constitution and law in order to commit violence.
Violence is what did in the Nazis and the Confederacy.
True, and if our system fails and the elections process are messed with then I will have a different opinion about what should be done. I'm not saying that violence isn't ever necessary (most of my family are veterans or active duty, I understand), I'm saying that the people pushing violence now are agitators trying to make a bad situation worse.
Until then, I'm not ready to throw away our entire country because I'm furious at these white supremacists in ICE uniforms. Their day is coming and everyone who ordered and enabled this all the way up to the top will face the same justice.
I will agitate. It is very likely that civil war will consume my nation. If that happens, I want my people to already have the materials and mindset needed to defeat Dogey America.
Then you're part of the problem.
I find it hard to believe that:
It seems a little suicidal, if your worldview is correct, to be openly advocating for violence against an administration that has shown no qualms about using terrorism laws against detractors and who controls one of the most comprehensive intelligence systems ever created.
Kinda sounds like someone who isn't in the US and is just stirring up shit for a paycheck.
Then explain John Brown or the folks who fought the government at Blair Mountain. Or, for that matter, the 1st American Civil War. History, and the future that writes it, is messy and violent.
In any case, I have no intention of living under the Trump Regime for the rest of my life, nor to die in RFK's concentration camps. That is why I made a point to buy and learn a gun, and advocate for a civil war. I cannot protect the future of a better America by myself.
I completely understand the sentiment, I disagree with the timing
Problem is, we don't got that luxury of picking that time. Trump just does what he feels like, regardless of the circumstances. Going by what I have read in history books, fortune favors the bold - because action usually beats inaction.
That is why people should prepare for a civil war, otherwise an more active Confederacy would have built up the momentum and means to overcome the Union. We shouldn't sit on our laurels and ignore the possibility of a war.
"Don't split." The peaceful and defiant wings of protest should agree to not undermine each other.
People should always be prepared as a general rule.
I will not be part of any group that chooses to throw away democracy prior to exhausting every possible option.
If they disrupt the elections and refuse to leave office then that's the red line where they cease to be duly elected officers and become enemies of the state who would be illegally occupying the White House and in need of an escort off of the premises by any means necessary.
