Comment on: Just got banned from r/pics for saying I live in the south and have never met a Nazi. Then got called a Nazi for asking why I got banned.
Even if he did go full conspiracy, are we not allowed to talk about it? The intelligence apparatus has done this sort of thing in the past, infiltrating civil rights groups and derailing them, smearing them, etc.
Even if it isn’t true, the answer to “bad speech” is more speech, not less. This is a classical liberal principle. Let speech play out. What the OP said wasn’t hateful or inflammatory.

Comment on: Perma banned from WhitePeopleTwitter for replying to a comment on a post here, about how a person got banned there, for replying to a post about guns.
Yeah this happened to me a lot during the pandemic. I’m very left-leaning but I found myself agreeing with the right-wingers on some of the COVID stuff like vaccine mandates. I would get perma-banned from random subreddits just for joining or commenting on some of the COVID-narrative skepticism subs.
It’s okay if you disagree or whatever, and make fun of me all you want, but what’s the big deal? I understand the conservative movement has a lot of bigotry and leads to the fascist pipeline, but for an issue like COVID, or guns, those things aren’t related to religious or racial bigotry. They’re kind of just their own social issues that have assigned “stances” that you have to take if you’re on the right or the left. It’s so weird.
