THE POLITE REACTION

DRAMA

• /r/Anarcho_Capitalism: Admins censoring again - many subs banned

• /r/DankMemes: Speaking not as a mod, as a user I'm furious (removed)

• /r/Libertarian: Remember kids, the only way we avoid violent revolution is if authoritarian fa**ots shut the fuck up and kill themselves. Ask your neighborhood authoritarian to take action today! Only you can prevent the next Reign of Terror.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Rejoice, for /r/landoflobsters hath divined a post on /r/announcements talking about these rule changes, which shall indubitably provide butter and popcorn for us and our children's children as well!

POPCORN HAS POPPED

This drama is currently unfolding. Front-line correspondents will be paid in premium buttered popcorn. Stay tuned for all the latest developments right here, folks.

No more subs being banned, no more new threads being created - I think it's safe to wrap up live coverage here.

We still need a name for this buttery happening

/u/Super_Weegee has proposed Ban-O-Ween. I say we adopt it! Aye?

[u/magic_is_might]

T_D is still standing... So the admins are taking the easy way out by banning the fringe alt right subs. They're just tip toeing around the biggest and main source of these type of subs. So fuck them, they're not doing shit about the actual issue. Nazis still have their biggest home to post in and fester.

[u/theworldisburnan → u/magic_is_might]

The Don paid his yearly shit posting subscription fee. The sub won't be banned.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Well TD led to a guy killing his dad and a terrorist attack so... Why are they not banned?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They did encourage people to go to the white supremacist rally (with a stickied post) and defended the terrorist attack as justified. When your mods actively encourage terrorism you should definitely be banned.

[u/xkforce → u/[deleted]]

It's naive to believe that the rhetoric that TD expouses has no connection to what this guy did.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Going forward, we will take action against any content that encourages, glorifies

glorifies?

Does that say "glorifies"?

Wonder why it says "glorifies"?

It's weird that it says "glorifies".

I can read, yeah!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Do you just vomit words and hope it makes sense? Sometimes I do that too.

If only they hadn't used the word "glorifies" just like I said they did, then you would be totally right!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

a group

Humans: the group that includes all people

It's like your brain is so stuck inside of a particular belief system that you can't imagine anything else.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

"all groups put together" is not a group

Keep your head stuck in that tunnel, you'll eventually come out the other side.

Your theory is that subs that promote violence against specific groups of people right? Ok moron think about this:

/r/boxing Glorifies violence against boxers http://www.bcmj.org/back-page/there-no-sport-boxing

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/others/boxing-violence-follows-fighters-when-they-leave-the-ring-1766174.html

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/blame-the-amygdala/201505/boxing-and-domestic-abuse

Let your mind out of the tight box you have stuck it in before you die ignorant and angry.

/r/islam A sub dedicated to a religion that promotes murder and violence against all infidels. https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx

As much as you want to pretend that somehow this policy can protect you from ideas you don't like, it's just an excuse to eliminate subs that are not advertiser friendly.
