How can I rightfully kick DAR off of /s/all if they follow the rules? It can't technically be 8chan content because saidit is still not allowing violence promotion or personal insults. What's an open debate site to do? How can saidit be between reddit and 8chan/voat/poal if the people's will, DAR, is not allowed to exist?

I actually agree on these points, though the last comment - relating to the existence of DAR - might be answered by this:

If DAR is in /r/subscribed, instead of r/all, it arguably retains its userbase, but it's also OK on r/all, depending on what Saidit wants of its site. What is interesting to me is that so many of the DAR posts are often at the top of r/all, which of course is an organic aspect of Saidit's users' interests. Not that this is necessarily a problem for most Saiditors, but if Saidit is to grow its userbase, it is unlikely to keep new users who disagree with DAR. And I appreciate that Saidit might not want users who disagree with DAR. But here's the rub: many users at DAR promote hate speech and extremism. This can work against the causes of DAR, when, for example, ane of the manipulations of Zionist and Russian disinformation propaganda is to identify concerns about racism as anti-white. This is meant to polarize the social media discourse about race, as has been Critical Race Theory, another manufactured non-issue that's meant to piss off people on the right. DAR often blindly promotes this hateful agenda by the trolls of the 1%, who are paid to sow dischord. I think M7 understood this form of extremist self-pawnage, per his discussions on Youtube, for which there is a long history. I think hate speech should be allowed, but not the main identity of Saidit, which seems to have developed on much of the top posts of r/all. It's just something worth considering. I am not recommending that DAR be removed from r/all, but that Saidit and DAR should be a bit more self-critical, and consider global trends in social media, in order to evaluate what is promoted here.

Does this mean that saidit should be less edgy and only talk about safe topics? The global trend of social media seems to be circling the drain while TPTB flushes your ass.

Yes - this is a very important concern. I think Saidit should be edgy. My concern is merely with patterns of extremism and hate speech. These patterns can potentially be questioned by mods, such as duplicate posts on the same extremist report, or news.

(So much on Saidit is against something, or anti- something, rather than for something or promoting a solution to something. Imagine having to live with or near a Saiditor. I wonder, for example, who Saiditors would vote for in the next election. What practical solutions do Saiditors want, I wonder. I've been asked to post this Q at DAR, but I doubt that would be much fun for anyone.)

Extremism and hate-speech

You do realize this is exactly what the ADL, JIDF and DHS claim.

It happens on all sides of the political discourse.

The solutions are not at the extremes, nor do they involve hatered.

No, not really. Centrism is merely another way for any radical group, if that group has control or is able to sway public opinion as a means to censorship. ZOG is obviously in control, and in a few years they'll throw people in jail for criticising Zionism and nobody will bat an eye.

It's already happened in the UK.

Centrists are difficult to manipulate by those who are puching the extreme agendas. Israel lobbyists &c are pushing an extreme agenda.
