Reddit moderators sold their souls for garbage and deserve it. The super mods there serve capitalism for free and deserve all the shit that falls from it.

I advocated for forcing state representatives to stand and face a crowd of their voters in r/worldnews and was banned for inciting violence. It's literally the founding block of American Democracy that our government serves us and should be overthrown when it no longer serves the people, and people were responding positively to the message.

They banned me from the sub and escalated it to the Admins to get me temp site banned.

All because I said representatives should be forced to stand in front of the people they represent regularly.

I hope the CEO continues to grind them till they break.

Why would worldnews host that anyway? It is a US politics concern, which is explicitly outside the topic of worldnews.

And based on my time as a moderator, users who run off to other forums to complain about mod decisions usually leave out important details. Not saying that is necessarily the case for you, but I am not just going to take your word for it.

And violent overthrow is not a "founding block of American Democracy". Right after he won the Revolutionary War, George Washington used the Army to put down an American revolution against taxes:

This dude sounds loud and incorrect.

I didn't call to violently overthrow a government, and the irony in the time frame of Washington's life you decided was important to this conversation.

It is convenient that you only wanted to talk about Washington after the Revolutionary War.

You might not know this, but American state representatives play a part in world politics and there are articles hosted on r/worldnews that are about them.

The comment was not removed for being off topic.

The super mods are getting rich off of this. They have tie ins with capitalists and get paid to manipulate or allow posts.
