    BLM, Pro-Palestine, George Floyd... three big ones that come to mind

    Okay, what violence did the pro-palestine movement spread, exactly?

    I can accept that some buildings got torched and property values temporarily reduced during the George Floyd protests, but when I hear violence, I think harm against flesh and blood, which the police did much, much more of. I can't think of many instances where the protestors did that.

      Yeah, thank you. My post was really just a "if things get bad enough, I can always blow my brains out which gives me a strange sense of comfort" sort of thing and it was flagged as threats of violence... against myself I guess? Silly. I will of course do my best to not let things get to that point and try to look for the positives in life.

        Leftist lean is a bit of an understatement. It's not just Reddit. In general, the radical left is being recognized for the violence and chaos they've spread over the last decade and the government is realizing they were left unchecked for too long.

        Now they're just being treated the same as the radical right.

        We absolutely see lots of news about these violent communist uprisings. Definitely not something you're imagining. Not at all.

              I still don't get it. Nothing there says a spokesperson is not a source. Which is good because saying such a thing would make absolutely no sense.

                    A Reddit spokesperson, who requested that The Verge not use their name due to the sensitive subject matter

                    What the fuck is this? We’re granting corporate spokespeople anonymity now?

                    Actually, yeah. Otherwise, you fuck up whistleblowing. They could be in the position, realize what's happening is wrong, be documenting it, trying to get out, etc...

                      I was going to say, “For what?” But then I remember that Nintendo just blasts lawsuits at anyone who remotely mentions something related to one of their IPs.

                      I’m surprised they haven’t sued Italy over their name since that is where Mario is from.

                      They recently sued a tiny convenience store in Costa Rica because it was called "Super Mario", because in Costa Rica, any moderately large store is a "Super", and the owner happened to be named "Mario" so.. You can figure it out.

                      Anyways, Nintendo lost that lawsuit

                        In their minds, that’s literally it. They compare themselves to billionaires. Millionaires are just temporarily embarassed billionaires.

                            It's crazy that a pendulum swings drastically back and forth isn't it? Not a false equivalency if you have any understanding of historical geopolitics.

                            If you marginalized and de platform an entire half of your voter base, and cancel people for taking a centrist stance, they're more likely to band together against your cause, doing more harm long term than if you just toed a rational line.

                            IE. Because the right were treated the way you are now being treated for so long, they're were polarized and radicalized to the result of who your president is now.

                            Also, not American, this isn't just an American thing. This is happening globally.

                              Here is a great example of the "if you're not with us you're against us" mentality: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/may/28/centrism-insidious-bias-unjust-status-quo

                              Reasonable views being cancelled:

                              Bari Weiss: A former opinion editor and writer at The New York Times, Weiss is known for her centrist views, often critiquing both the far-left and far-right. In July 2020, she resigned from the newspaper, citing a hostile work environment and alleging that her centrist stances led to bullying by colleagues. ​

                              Example of extremes people will go to silence the moderates...

                              Stefan Gelbhaar: A member of Germany's Green Party, Gelbhaar, associated with the party's more centrist "Realo" wing, was forced to withdraw from the federal election race following false sexual harassment allegations. An investigation later revealed that the accusations came from a fictitious persona created by a local Green official, leading to internal tensions within the party.

                                    Rights you probably take for granted were won by people blowing stuff up or attacking and even killing people.

                                        This is unhinged. The so called "radical left" is largely a scapegoat for the people that currently run the government. The "radical left" isn't going around shooting up synagogues and black churches. Even the one act of violence the "radical left" supports was committed by somebody who clearly was more of a "radical centrist"

                                          As a German I’m very familiar with the Gelbhaar case actually and it doesn’t have the slightest thing to do with centrism. It actually ended with the person pushing the fake accusations having to leave the party, but you knew that already.

                                          I’ll look into the others when I’m home later.
