  • I got banned for archiving a conservative politicians leadership campaign website and publishing it when they started telling lies about their policy positions.

    ‘Not relevant’

    My final ban came when I pointed out a known white supremacist was saying racist stuff. They temp banned me, a mod (a different one, the white supremacist one) challenged me to explain it, and then fully banned me when I didn’t reply, which I couldn’t do… Because they banned me.

    On that subreddit, racist shit was okay but calling something racist was not.



  • See this is the thing with arguing on the internet, a list of stuff and absolutely no thoughtful analysis. Like a bumper sticker that found its way onto the internet. Just one example, crime rates have fallen steadily since the 90s under all governments and continue to be near historic lows. In fact, most of Harper’s tenure saw crime above or near the current levels. But you wouldn’t know that if you got your information from some guy on the internet who just says “less crime”.

    Basically everything you listed is arguable at best, false at worst. But I know that won’t stop ya.
