Yeah, when you get banned from the mainstream extreme left wing sites, you have the other side of the coin. Both result in a certain amount of extremism in the more susceptible participants. But this was initiated by the left, they naively thought that silencing people would quash their ideas when all it did was drive them further from their sphere of influence.

And this was was unrelated to the extremist misinformation and disinformation pushed incessantly by authoritarians? They're completely innocent? They should have been allowed to continue with obvious lies? Well they did continue, until subs like 'theDonald' were banned in January 2021 for spreading lies. But one can still read the same kinds of lies here: https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy . The 'left' haven't stopped anything. The right continues their lies.

Engage in finger pointing if you wish, I merely noted it happened.

The right continues their lies.

How do you know when a politician is lying? His lips are moving. Play serf games, win serf prizes. Playing sides doesn't make sense at the bottom.

There's no reason to tolerate misinformation campaigns, or to tolerate the abuses of authoritarians and their propaganda.

You're saying I should stop arguing against everyone wanting to ban you, why?

Am I spreading misinformation propaganda and supporting the abuses of authoritarians and their propaganda? It's not realistic to equate this with its opposite. That too is another authoritarian strategy.

How is that a serious question, you have the political views of a typical redditor. Did you forget you've been espousing bad covid advice for months?

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I was surprised that so many Saiditors are anti-vax, and believe the lies and propaganda. One wonders how people can be so dumb and gullible, and that the anti-vax campaign is a GOP psyop. I merely corrected them on occasion. No one required my advice, as the information for dealing with COVID has been abundantly available. We still see on Saidit the same gullible posts, however.

I think this stage is called Denial.

People are finally ignoring covid like they should have all along. The covid vaccine, the lockdowns, all of it were not just ineffective, they were harmful and based on shoddy science. Dissenting voices of reason were silenced and/or outright villified:

dumb and gullible

Case in point.

theDonald was similar to any sub dedicated to a certain party the only difference was that it was very popular and reddit couldn't stand it that their favorite subs weren't that successful

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

reddit couldn't stand it that their favorite subs weren't that successful

LOL - so Reddit banned a sub because Reddit is run by jealous little bitches?

(Might want to ask someone about this who is older than 12, or read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/The_Donald.)

[–]Kuasocto[S] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

using wikipedia as a source for anything

lol, shows how clueless you are. At this point wikipedia is merely an extension of the mainstream news and curated similarly to reddit, with almost the same biases. And even if it worked the way its supposed to it'd still be a terrible source because it has NONE permanence. What you see today might get completely rewritten tomorrow.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

yawn....

it has NONE permanence

LOL

(It has information you can corroborate with other sources.)

Since you are older than 12 why don't you tell us what your problem is instead of posting a link to some article that basically repeats that the donald sub was very successful and reddit bitches couldn't handle it?

I'm 11

The_Donald constantly spread lies and misinformation and helped with the attack on Washington DC. Fuck 'em.

Attack on Washington DC

You mean people aimlessly wandering around the capitol building? You did watch the Cspan videos right, right??

I'm 11

I will guide you, time to turn away from the darkness of ignorance.

the left is the champion of authoritarianism, you don't have to be a genius to find that out. The best thing you can do is to ignore the bullshit, lies, etc coming from that moron sock.
