    Even im weirded out by how thoroughly the left was suppressed on reddit and other platforms. People on reddit only saw themselves mirrored and thought they were the only ones who existed.

        Dozens of major leftist subreddits were literally banned, CTH being the most famous example, thousands of users received constant arbitrary 3 day bans over and over again with no explanation, the admins and mods who worked with them were pretty open about their suppression of the left

            Yeah you keep telling yourself that horseshit, just ignore the fact the admins flatly said we were banned for “inciting violence” in the form of “KIll all slaveowners”

            Also “brigading” that’s an interesting word, is that what you’re doing right now?

                Yes because only nazis oppose a system that does not achieve much other than mass murder leading to authoritarianism.

                The British and American empires also led the anti-communist crusade. You’ll note the massive stacks of bodies and constant installation of puppet governments each one is responsible for.

                If you think the Soviets weren’t less mass murder-y by a magnitude less than capitalist or monarchist governments you need to learn more about the constant stream of violence that capitalism produces. Even the massively exaggerated death counts of all socialist countries put together by anticommunists pale in comparison to just the British empire.

                Also revolutions are the most authoritarian thing in existence. It is literally one class exercising control through physical violence and coercion against the class that has been socially murdering them and oppressing them until they collectively couldn’t take it anymore and were organized enough to fight back.

            https://www.reddit.com/r/chapotraphouse

            This community was banned for violating Reddit’s rule against promoting hate.

            Doesn’t say anything about brigading.

            And since we weren’t a hate sub in any way, my only conclusion is they think “kill all slave owners” is hate, since they LITERLALY complained about that and removed our comments saying so. john-brown

              Notably; promoting hate against dead slave owners, a protected class according to Spez.

                Spez wants to own slaves after “the collapse” so it makes sense he interprets “kill slaveowners” as hate speech.

                1.) Spez is a Nazi, so write that down

                2.) We were banned because we wouldn’t stop posting “KILL ALL SLAVE OWNERS” in our own quarantined sub.

        I’d say both are true. The left is actively suppressed on the platform AND the userbase is not that progressive (particularly on geopolitics) because of it being American-centric.

        Spez et-all quarantined and eventually banned all the left subreddits years ago. The closest thing left is I think the Trueanon sub…

      I mean Reddit’s director of policy, Jessica Ashooh, is former Deputy Director of the Atlantic Council’s Middle East Strategy Task Force — she’s literally a state department plant.
