A Reddit moderation tool is flagging ‘Luigi’ as potentially violent content
-
Hmmm yeah, he's "only" worth about $85M, so low/mid-upper class
In their minds, that’s literally it. They compare themselves to billionaires. Millionaires are just temporarily embarassed billionaires.

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.
Well that was the most out to lunch comment I’ve read this week I think.

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.
Can you name one person that got cancelled for taking a centrist stance?

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.

ROFLMAO. This bloke. Fucking Americans.

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

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

Can you elaborate please?

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.

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.
