They’re authoritarian and they hate the west. Of course they’re appealing to communists.

Western commies idolising brutal authoritarian regimes is nothing new.

Hell yeah you can blame the people. They chose to use those platforms, and they choose to stay with them as they grow ever shittier. They’re the ones enabling platforms like reddit.

/s is like explaining a joke you just made right away.

That’s just the start my dude. Once we disregard insignificant values like human rights and personal freedom, solving the issue of other people making problematic choices becomes trivial.

Imagine all the crime we would prevent if we just locked up anyone who earns less than say 50k euros.

Idk. That always seemed like a classic redditor thing to do: giving money to redditcorp just to spite some stranger.

But then again, the admins are very petty and juvenile. Huffman especially, going so far as to ghost-edit user’ comments.

Marking the sub as nsfw affects their ad revenue, that’s is the only reason they care.

Doing stuff like posting pictures of suggestive veg or John Oliver seems like a way for mods to protest without driving as many users away.

You’re kidding yourself if you think it’s a negotiation tactic. When the revolution comes, such revisionism will get you executed by true believers.

But at least you’re useful to them for the time being. Someone needs to radicalise the people who will carry out the purges.

I dislike seeing radicals joke about murdering their enemies. It dehumanises them which helps extremism takes hold.

Of course that is the point of such jokes, but you shouldn’t be surprised if people call you out on it.

Let’s demonise a subset of the population and joke about murdering them just like my ideological comrades did in the 20th century! Look how provocative I’m being.

Who are these donors and what does “eating” them actually entail?

I’m surely misinterpreting you, because it sounds like you’re suggesting murdering people over SoMe bullshit.

But that’s okay today? At least in my social circles it is. Just talk about it to whichever friend you have that demands you answer immediately.

They were not forced, they were pressured. The mods caved to the threat of being replaced, showing everyone that having that little bit of power was always their main priority. I didn’t expect more from dog-walkers.

I think for many it’s a case of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. USA bad therefore China good.

You also see it when tankies disguss the current Russian war. There’s not so much justifying the actual invasion as there is whataboutism about the West.
