It's not a matter of personal bias. You are advocating for an ideology based in violence. If antifa started a sub where they advocated and coordinated violence they would get banned too.

Yup, exactly. Nothing more really needs to be said about the matter.

If someone started a sub about Mao, then it would go? What about a sub about America, which is a nation founded upon genocide? Answer this fucking question or you are a hypocrite.

Agreed.

/s/WarWatch exists, though it doesn't advocate violence.

We need to be able to study everyone, including bad ideologies and bad history.

Furthermore, there are MANY more NatSoc parties CURRENTLY around the world than just the German Nazis of yore and whatever might pass for it now in America or Europe.

I can assure you I do not support NatSoc, nor ever will, but I do want to be able to know about them, understand them, and maybe even learn their strengths and weaknesses.

Yeah, I want to understand people, not write them off.

Yeah if someone made a pro-Communist sub featuring pictures of Mao and the PLA army and was actively promoting that, then yeah I'd probably remove that too.

A sub "about America" is fine, but a sub about promoting the genocide of Native Americans would also be removed.

Once again, genuinely curious, but what would you describe as promoting genocide?

Promoting ideologies that revolve around killing people, it's really not complicated

I really don't see a difference between a sub about Trump and America, or Obama and America, or just America in generals and a sub about Maoist China or Nazi Germany. All these things revolve around radical, often violent, ideologies.
