i just got permanently banned from reddit because of a comment i posted about jeff bezos (which reddit may have viewed as a ‘violent threat’) on a subreddit (or i’ve been posting a bit too fast). the site said “check your inbox”, but i DIDN’T see a message. i have some suspicions that i may have been banned for no reason whatsoever - i’ve just submitted a ban appeal, and i expect a response from them soon.

until then, i’m gonna be posting on this site. NO guarantees that i’ll be back on reddit - the day i get unbanned will be the day half-life 3 gets released (that or the day there’s peace between ukraine and russia or palestine and israel). seriously!

UPDATE: reddit looked at my appeal and said ‘i DON’T know, you still threatened violence, so you’re still banned’ - reddit should realize that the first amendment (which gives people the freedoms of speech, of press and of religion, and to assemble peacefully and to redress grievances) allows me to say that ‘jeff bezos should see a gill o’ teen’ - i would submit an appeal, but reddit says i have to submit one or two appeals a day, so i guess i’m stuck here now. seriously!

    If it exists within a bourgeois democracy, it is inherently anti-democratic. If it exists to soothe the class conflict and promote class collaboration and nationalism (but with national profit sharing) as the solution to that problem it is fascist.

    They aren’t ‘socialism-lite’ because they simply aren’t socialism. They are just imperialists who understand that you have to maintain a labor aristocracy for national stability.

        Syndicalism is not a functional ideology because it has no way to take power. There is no such thing as peacefully transferring from capitalism to socialism while the capitalist world order remains.

          i forgot why you asked that - i assume you’re talking about the appeal. again, when i submitted my first appeal yesterday, reddit’s like ‘well, you threatened violence, so you still got banned’ - my latest appeal probably referenced that. i really hope i get a response from them soon. seriously!
