No no.. "if you say something that goes against the agenda, it'll be deleted for a made up reason" "If you post something that goes against teh agenda, we'll find a way to delete it citing some rule we only apply to counter ideas" "if you have a post that doesnt go with the agenda, but doesnt really go against it either, but the post has traction, we'll delete it to be safe"

Aka “racism” or “bigotry” or some other made up thing used to silence dissent

Sorry OP, but this is a low effort post. I'd ban people from here for the same behaviour. I know what you're leading to based on other comments below, but this picture doesn't portray your point very well

Ok understood thanks for the heads up dawg

I respect all opinions that agree with my own*

Wow, having bare minimum common decency is a bad thing now?

You disagree with me? I’ve reported you for being a racist bigot.
0 u/FunkyTown313 † 06 Jul 2018 17:20
Those are different problems. That's abusing the reporting system
11 u/Recon_by_Fire 06 Jul 2018 17:23
I think you missed my point and how r/politics determines if someone is a racist bigot.
4 u/FunkyTown313 06 Jul 2018 17:26
It wasn't expressly stated, so I probably did.
7 u/Recon_by_Fire 06 Jul 2018 17:28
Disagree, and get called a racist bigot. What part wasn't clear?
3 u/FunkyTown313 06 Jul 2018 17:43
I mean, it depends on what was being said. Context is pretty important.

>Why is Robert De Niro saying 'Fuck Trump' top news? -- A Racist Bigot
3 u/FunkyTown313 06 Jul 2018 17:56
That's pretty clearly abusing the report system then

A lot of this stuff seems to be going right over your head. Is this a life theme for you?
1 u/FunkyTown313 07 Jul 2018 10:33
Bazinga!
2 u/Porphyrogennetos 07 Jul 2018 10:18
Enforced by who? The admins who are in on it? Yeah... great.
1 u/FunkyTown313 07 Jul 2018 10:32
Are you asking who watches the watchmen?
10 u/MemesOfTheResistance [OP] 06 Jul 2018 17:05
Common decency is subjective So is racism So is bigotry You seem like a racist bigot that lacks common decency. #BANHAMMER
2 u/FunkyTown313 06 Jul 2018 17:24
The first one is subjective, the other two have pretty well defined meanings.

But they don’t The things you can say about whites and Asians will cause brownies to violently chimp out

You sound more triggered then trigglypuff.
4 u/MemesOfTheResistance [OP] 07 Jul 2018 10:16
Ok
3 u/Porphyrogennetos 07 Jul 2018 10:17
He's not wrong though, and you obviously don't like that, or you wouldn't have posted.
3 u/Porphyrogennetos 07 Jul 2018 10:16
Maybe, but they are not applied equally, and they are usually judged in complete subjectivity.
0 u/FunkyTown313 07 Jul 2018 10:31
Judgement is subjective by its very nature
1 u/rcteg 14 Jul 2018 22:18
This is more of a r/coaxedintoasnafu
1 u/MemesOfTheResistance [OP] 14 Jul 2018 22:37
That’s pretty racist

I am ok with this policy. I suspect their policy is actually far more restrictive.
