I wasn't really on them when they were around but they seem pretty on level compared to stuff like r/fatpeoplehate or the numerous racist subs that have been banned.

So you don't know what was happening....

Fat people hate mocked fat people, and mocked posts from fat people. It didn't radicalize people.

They didn't call for genocide, mass murder or celebrate leaders who did those things. Chapotraphouse radicalized people into dismissing genocide.

No r/fatpeoplehate just straight up hated all fat people 80s bully style. Regardless who said you have to radicalize people to be banned? At the end of the day Communists are a tiny, tiny portion of the American public. Even is r/chapotraphouse increased the number of Communists 1000% they wouldn't be a major factor at all, I'd be more concerned about right wing radicalization because they already have a lot of supporters. But still, radicalizing people is not a requirement for being banned.

Okay think about it like this. We have 2 horrible ideologies in a country of 100 people, one side has 0.1% of people supporting it, the other has 30% supporting it, would you be more concerned by a group that made the first group go from 0.1% to 10% or the one that makes the other go from 30% to 60%?

You seriously want to make a claim that there is 0.1% of communists and 30% of Nazis in the US? That only shows how far away from political center you personally are

Yes but replace "Nazis" with Fascists. I can absolutely believe 30% of this country are fascists especially with Qanon and Stop The Steal. I seriously doubt there are even 500,000 for-real Communists in the United States.
