A Reddit moderation tool is flagging ‘Luigi’ as potentially violent content
-
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.
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"

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.
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.

Yeah man the radical left's crazy violent agenda like... Free healthcare, and decent standards of living? No wait I mean the erosion of systems of inequality fuck wait no I mean uh labor rights and empowree workers wait shit no
I'm starting to think the radical let's crazy agenda is actually far less violent than the status quo
-
Those just come off as regular left to me.
When I think of radical left I think tanky types who are full on nationalists and pro authoritarian governments that suppress free think that they are indistinguishable from the far right other than just differences when it comes to stuff like government assisted programs.

Advocating for the death of all gay people is by no means the same scale of issue as the radical left.

People saying Luigi is a hero but then defend the Democrats. Truly astonishing. Luigi’s actions are a call to systemic revolution. He is a god damn hero, and will probably go down as a martyr if the federal government gets their way.
Democrats aren't perfect but we'd be in 92% better shape with one in the Whitehouse right now.

We? Who is we? The working class would still be exploited. We’d just have a President who is “nicer” about it. We need a revolution, because reform is damn near impossible now.

The guy stomps on innocent, unsuspecting little turtles and occasionally burns them alive. Of course it should be flagged.

How many people died in those?
Gotta say, I feel like being opposed to police brutality and a genocide seems kinda... non radical. As in it doesn't seem extreme

You are gonna have a hard time around this here social media, comrade, with these clown takes...
There are better places for bootlickers out there

Can you elaborate please?
The rights I have today were gained through war, not through unfettered chaos.
No one rioted in the streets burning down buildings and looting them to give me my rights. My rights were given to me through wars that were fought. Organized, state in state violence, or organized state vs rebellion open conflict. The distinction is quite important.

Here in Canada they burned churches.
Also, leftist catch and release policy in Canada results in people with dozens of offences immediately put back on the street, and this has resulted in many murders, sexual assaults, continued violent crime by routine offenders. The weak on crime stance has resulted in massive crime increases here. Albeit not a political thing for the people doing the crimes, but a symptom of the policies.
Also, I think everyone is pro-Luigi if that's the crime you're talking about. Common ground for all

Im Canadian, I don't consider free healthcare radically left, or left at all really. There needs to exist some social supports, and healthcare is the bare minimum. We don't go far enough here.
I see a radical as someone who uses extreme language, proposes violent actions toward instituting their ideals, or condones or excuses physical violence on others because of their ideals. Even using cancel culture, or ban culture are ultimately just attacks on freedom of expression to me and would be considered radical by this definition.

I wish I could find it, but I can't remember which research paper I came across it for; however there is a routine survey and report that measures how Americans feel about core values over time with no changes in the questions, and what it's shown is that conservatives have moved a little bit more right of centre on most issues, but that liberals have moved almost entirely to the far left.
The thing is, the whole point of liberalism is to consistently move the needle of progress. So it baffles me people fail to realize that today's "normal" leftist ideologies a decade ago were those people you're mentioning. But to someone who is still fighting those ideals and hasn't changed their stance at all, they are still radical ideals.
