/r/explainlikeimfive locks thread because of how strictly impartial the sub is, but makes sure to be super partial in their stickied comment on the reason for locking the post. If you're so impartial, your sticky shouldn't have your opinion in it.

It looks to me it was locked for going off topic. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Nothing should be off-topic in that sub if it's a legit question. BTW, for that particular question, this answer made a lot of sense: >It largely had to do with the nazis not having the press in their pocket any longer, expose their flaws their fans can see they've been following frauds.

>Hi Everyone, >I'm going to have to lock this post. I know people hate that, and fairly so. ELI5 is an objective and impartial community, we literally have rules specifically banning soapboxing and any non objective topics. >It is very clear that this topic has both a. been addressed well, and b. is a topic that people cannot restrain themselves from veering into modern politics, particularly US politics. This is not the place for it. >I hope you all enjoy the learning that is still here, and you can let us know in mod mail if you have any questions (but please don't message us because you had a comeback you really wanted to make to someone on the other side of america's bizarre team sport version of politics).

I'm not sure I see what's "super partial" about that. I don't like locked threads any more than anyone else here, but I'm not seeing any particular bias.

To me it comes off very "America bad, America stupid." I'm my opinion, if you're going to lock a post for lack of impartiality, you should *strive*to ensure your sticky is completely impartial.

I guess that's true. But I think most Americans (myself included) would essentially agree about our political situation being a mess right now. The *other* side's fault of course. But since he didn't blame a side, it comes across as fairly neutral to me.

Why exactly is it not impartial?

This isn't partial to anything, it just says "politics bad"

Reddit censored proven examples of how Scientology shows misinformation about the Holocaust on YT. Reddit has become a bastion of liberal foolishness. You can’t ask Reddit mods if a proven example of Scientology showing blatant misinformation about the Holocaust is accurate. I showed links that proved Scientology made false claims about the Holocaust and had my entire thread removed.
