Anon checks out politics on reddit

Really throwing stones from a glass house here, aren't they?
- Yes, it's funny calling out that attitude from 4chan but also it's funny that it's posted here
  
  It's like watching the browns play the raiders...you kind of just want everyone in the discussion to burn.
Meanwhile on /pol/...
The thing people who disagree with should die: "Maybe let's not be literal genociding facists."
- Try posting “Maybe let’s not be literal genociding fascists.” in any city sub discussing homeless people or r/europe discussing roma.
  
  From the stories I've heard about Roma, they've worked very hard to be so disliked.
- be genociding liberals instead! #votebluenomatterwho
What's the statement being disagreed with? This is just "all political opinions are valid" bullshit. There are some truly horrific political standpoints out there.
- I got a 30 day suspension from /r/news for calling Antifa “a violent organization”. Got down voted to hell and called a Nazi sympathizer… I’ve only ever voted Democrat.
  
  Is Antifa an actual organization? I thought it was kind of an ad hoc moniker.
  
  And antifa can be violent, though it's not really an organization. Wikipedia describes it as a movement. And given the fact that fascists have ruined every country where they took power, violence against them is wholly justified.
  
  I pointed out that Kyle Rittenhouse had multiple people trying to kill him, and was actively running away from all three people he shot.
  
  That went well.
  
  Second sentence is a clear lie if the first sentence is true. Can't be both a Nazi simp and a Democrat.
  
  I have a friend who hangs out with ANTIFA to punch Nazis. He does it for the symbolism, makes him feel like a hero when he is violent. No thanks.
I can't tell whether it's the users or engagement baiting bots anymore.
- The problem is if you are on one political side of the fence the entire other side is immediately labeled as bots.
Anon is not wrong.
4channer likely leaving out the part where it wasn't "everyone who disagrees with me" but actually just "Nazi scum" and he was offended. Nazis love to play the victim card publicly while wishing death on minorities in private.
I taunted a anon about using reddit and the next day my IP range was banned.
Except Reddit bans you if you so much as suggest someone stubs their toe. The rules against "advocating violence" have become so broadly interpreted in the last few years.

Lemmy is significantly more tolerant of this kind of posting
- I was banned from my first Lemmy instance for disagreeing with a political statement. In 11 years I never got banned from reddit, go figure.
ITT Fucking nazi scum.
And then you get banned for saying child molesters should die.
- And that will help how??
  
  It's not complicated, can't molest children if you're dead.
- That's the coldest take ever man
