You were censored for discussing ongoing fascism by the American government on a platform that is very likely still receiving funding by that corporatist partnership for this explicit purpose. This was exactly how the creator of the Fascist Party intended fascist partnerships to function 100 years ago. The one thing above all right now they are likely to suppress is further exposure of their own fascism. It is damaging to both sides of the corporatist partnership, government and private corps. This runs against a fascist partnership's purpose which is to benefit both corporation and politician on the public's dime. I'm afraid that, historically, speaking, fascism rarely stops with mildly inconveincing its critics like this and will likely get much worse.

>ackkchhually No snark intended and I forgive you for whatever it is that has prompted your aggressive confrontation seeking response. I'm sorry for the part I played in this outburst, and I hope whatever it was is gone soon and you feel better quickly. You don't deserve whatever it was that made you feel this way. Be well!

Actually no, thats not at all what fascism's creator defined it as. Fascism's inventor defined it in the fewest simplest way as corporatism because its a merger of corporate and state powers. He used those powers to have media suppress his opponents so they had no voice, and to spread propaganda so people would hate who they were told to hate on command. Whenever you hear "It's a private corporation it can do anything it wants" while its working against you on behalf of the government, look for reasons they might be working for political parties, like the payments Musk proved on twitter. That proved fascism is happening in American government right now with zero room for denial. Definitely don't just go throwing it around derisively or think it means anything you don't like, or any kind of authoritarian regime. Know what it means and how it has come to America waving flags just as predicted. Fascism was easy to implement considering media is only owned by a half dozen or so interests. We likely have fascists fighting fascists to control whose propaganda is heard loudest right now, but for now the proof of fascism is rather one sided as only one media corporation's CEO was willing to go public to confirm political payments for meddling have been standard practice.

I absolutely agree with you. This time, it is used literally by the dictionary. We need to continue to use it exactly as defined, rather than how Congress has been throwing it around for anything they don't like, similarly to how they use "fascism" for anything they don't like rather than as another word for corporatism as defined by the political party's creator. It's only a matter of time before corporatists receiving government money to censor on behalf of political agendas start censoring the dictionary, but right now the actual definition is not being censored just denied.

I don't write all of the dictionaries that offend you into becoming the interpersonal drama seeking insult prone person you are right now. That's you, being yourself, and upsetting yourself. Good luck becoming a better person. I hope you can find a way; and I forgive you for your aggression. Fears make people do bad things. You'll be good some day. You won't have those fears you keep mentioning some day. Be well. Do well. Don't take action prompted by the aggression you are displaying.

If you feel frightened by the dictionary, thats a you issue. You can't change a definition by projecting your issues onto others. I hope you get your answers and find a way to quell your fears you brought up. It sounds your fear is affecting your ability to reason right now, so I truly do hope you can. Especially if you're harboring unmentioned thoughts that drove you to subtly try and deny the definition of terrorism. If the dictionary hits too close to home for your comfort, maybe it's a good inflection point. Good luck.

The definition will never change, and thats why you are now learning Terrorism's definition here. You know it as well as the rest of us now if you didn't know it 30 minutes ago, *the use or threat of violence especially against the public as a politically motivated means of coercion* is the topic of today. A terrorist started this discussion among many around the nation with their act of politically motivated violence against children. This is the point of terrorism.

That's called terrorism. Call terrorists "terrorists" to avoid the censorship of other labels. For now at least, admins aren't openly protecting terrorism in general.

If you look at it through the lens of history, it makes more sense. Attacking viewpoints is how extremists get started. By the time they get to the middle, you know all about the physical attacks and by the end those extremists are coming up with new ways to carry out exterminations at various degrees of scale. This isn't a new phenomena. It repeats every few decades throughout the globe. It usually doesn't reach the middle part without great opposition and rarely manages to get to their endgame stage, but when it does nobody ever forgets.

The Twitter acquisition actually unmasked a lot of dangerous people to the point they are openly against free speech without shame now. Gone are the days of "I disagree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it" and now it's become "I'll violently attack anyone I don't agree with" Extremists have jumped off the deep end. It doesn't surprise me that reddit is being managed by those dangerous extremists. The site's owners have cultivated this danger.

They aren't sllowed to say why they censor, but I guarantee it was because you posted something elsewhere about some civil right or another that they want to abolish.

It's an echo chamber, not a news source or a place to discuss rationally

Of course not but it embarrassed you know who

I guess it's good he can laugh at himself.

Some people get their rocks off trolling political topics. Its low hanging fruit for their kind.

Pools closed?

"Corporate pandering is just there to get your dollars" and so on. The usual kind of stuff that reddit's corporate advertisers don't want on reddit.

Reddit's owned by China - that's why crisicism of China is suddenly censored everywhere here. This is teh end of reddit, the CCP couldn't stop censoring itself for very long and the rest of teh world isn't used to this blatant propaganda censoring so it's only going to get more obvious as people wonder what changed.

"An otherwise fine job" = "They suck at their job and we all know it, but otherwise I'm not allowed to cross the thin blue line"

If they allow too much improperly vetted political talk it will be. Reddit is going to be used to manipulate the next election and resistance will be banned.

Reddit is full of trolls calling people they attack "racists" because society lets people act like assholes if they claim their victims are racists - if a sub is run by them don't go there.

Wow that means reddit admins know it's true. Confirmation of the accusation like this is worse than deny deny deny or just ignoring it.

This isn't advocating censorship. Censorship is the opposite of sharing knowledge. Reddit has chosen to censor wrongthink. They have shown that agents provocateur can be used to eliminate any group they disagree with, and this information shows that they are selective about their censorship. Reddit admins have an agenda they are playing out and won't be swayed by this info - they have chosen censorship and that is a slippery slope with only one likely outcome. But educated users can at least see what they are doing when armed with knowledge. When someone is pointing out hypocrisy, don't immediately assume the person pointing it out is advocating more bad behavior. That is almost never the case!

This was the site admins, they are the ones that are paid to help manipulate the ballot.

Streisand effect. I wouldn't even know reddit and youtube were manipulating the ballot if they weren't admitting it like this

That says a lot of bad things about the government striking down the law against propaganda

New financial incentives.

Reddit is a Chinese propaganda outlet, they've been gatekeepers for a long time.

That would make this even worse, ignorant kee jerk thoughtless bans without even an attempt at understanding are the definition of authoritarian corruption gone wild.

That's not why it was removed, it's the excuse they gave for removing it. Removing that number made it easier to game the system without exposing that it is being gamed on purpose, and every major change since has had the same intent.

"Quarantined" is what they do now, it's like shadow banning doubplus ungood thoughts

They don't have to buy the whole thing, just owning a handful of mods that happen to control most of reddit cheaper and just as effective

Shareblue, it's not really an official arm of the political party it's more of a propaganda advertising firm.

They've preferred the term *monetized* since the moment the sale was final. And to answer truthfully to OP, it's because they're employed for the purpose of maintaining a highly curated echo chamber.

Automod can be set to disallow doubleplus ungood speech. Tesla, for example, was an automod autodelete term in /r/technology until the discovery of that rule got the sub demoted.

Reddit is monetized by more than the admins. Many moderators have similar employment concerns, the worst subs simply enforce their finances so badly the subs became worthless.

>What value does a Political site have if it doesn't display all views. You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of why reddit is so thoroughly monetized

It's worse than that, it was made legal by both US parties specifically because they want to lie to us and don't care what you read it from.

***MY*** chosen source of propaganda is better than ***YOUR*** chosen source of propaganda so I'm happy to censor yours as long as mine is left alone.
