/r/science censors discussion pertaining to an article about a study that claims conservatives are generally more open-minded and less likely to exclude ideological rivals than liberals

I didn't personally get censored, but I thought it was interesting that this was posted to that subreddit. Though I guess the mostly-tame discussion that has been censored was expected. [Here's the post](https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/lfmzsc/conservatives_may_be_more_liberal_than_they_let/). [Here's the reveddit](https://www.reveddit.com/v/science/comments/lfmzsc/conservatives_may_be_more_liberal_than_they_let/). [And here's the pertaining article.](https://archive.vn/zk7dC) Your mileage may vary with the article. I assume most people will also interpret as I did what I got from that article, but it does try to end by spinning liberals in a positive, or at least neutral, way. Edit: spelling hard

I think the mods of that sub just proved the article right. Look at how closed minded they were about it that they needed to shut it down.

comments in that thread really illustrate what the article talks about. Truly fascinating.

We can’t have conservatives exhibiting human like qualities.

Then people might start humanizing them.

r/science removes a ton of comments in the vast majority of the posts there. It's nothing special about this particular post. They constantly post propaganda "studies" very obviously pushing pro democrat agendas and there's usually a fair amount of people there who call these posts out. I was actually surprised when I saw they posted something not painting conservatives in a bad light.
