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

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
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.

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.
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.

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

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
So what's the evidence for policy driven crime rates? It appears violent crimes are level and other crimes are down at decades low? Am I missing something?

The report by the actual department responsible for it. They're definitely not level nor down, other than COVID blips which affect all stats everywhere for almost everything... Stats can often underreports:

Neat summary and comparison of the trend:

That is some of the most tortured data I've ever seen. It cuts off at a multi decade low. For reference the data you linked doesn't disagree, its just clipped

With zero respect because you're not due any, have you not seen any news ever? Have you never talked to these people in real life?
Source is every single one of these fuckers at my work who keep ranting about how the gays are better dead.

Sounds like you're projecting your experience from a space of limited heuristics. I've never once in my entire life heard someone wish gay people were dead.
I think you may want to surround yourself by better people. I think I'd be hard pressed to find anyone like that where I live.

My brother in christ it's my fucking job. It's not my friends. I stated as such. Are you telling me to quit my job, lose my insurance, and lose my accrued pto over a couple of dipshits at work? You are really, well and truly, showing the massive privilege you've been afforded in life.
I get that you live in a sheltered area. But these people exist. And are much more common than you think.
I live in one of the more blue cities in America. There's like, maybe 10, 15 more blue than mine.

You've got some problems dude. Get help... sweating and getting emotionally charged on a forum thread isn't healthy or normal.
Man you insult me and you expect me to be like
boo hoo say nothing. Lol. -

Your question was an insult to me with how my eyes had to read it. Like, to have not seen people doing so, you'd have to have been genuinely blind and deaf on the internet

Or maybe my algorithm is a lot more wholesome because of how I spend my time? Like, I asked a genuine question. I have still never seen any evidence of it. This is a great place to learn and I'd love to check my biases, but you're not gonna fix a problem people don't know exist, and you most certainly aren't going to do it by reacting the way you did.
