Why are mods deleting comments and locking articles?
My comment was prefaced as being hyperbole and I said ICE should be held to account. What is this, Reddit?
mods here in this comm are known fascist supporters. if you “dehumanize” a nazi they boot you.
ICE should not only be held accountable but demolished.
New refugee from Reddit - is there a better community for discussing politics without heavy handed mods stepping in?
“Discussing politics” meaning calling for violence? You could start your own community for that if you want.
Where is the call for violence?
My comment was something like “this is purely hyperbole but more brave Americans should hold ice to account” in the post about the 10 arrested folks in Texas. I’m not being pedantic I genuinely feel if a person lives in a fascist state then the individual has a right to hold the state to account for actions the state commits. I don’t see why I need to kowtow and sympathize with ICE… I just don’t know how else to describe my feelings.
From my understanding, that’s what has been removed, and why another thread about ICE officers being ambushed / shot by vigilantes on the 4th is locked.
Gotcha. Yeah. not ok with calls for violence. that’s just fed bait and unsafe anyway.
I’m 100% ok with reminding folks trash ideologies beget trash people who give up their humanity.
Violence is a necessary answer to fascism. Can't win against a bully with your hands tied behind your back screaming for peace.
