Who was the person who killed salve owners? I honestly do not know the history of the original sub.

We aren’t going to tolerate intolerance in this instance. I personally don’t have a problem with communists. But I do have a problem with authoritarian communists. If you think me making this distinction is acting in bad faith, then you might run into more issues than just me here.

I definitely did see popular subreddits that would display racial biases to black people. They would bad mouth a black person doing something in a clip and then the next day defend a white person doing similar things. It didn’t happen that way every time, but it did seem like it happened that way more often than not. Also, there does seem to be a valid argument in that systemic racism asserts itself in instances of corporate greed like we’ve seen from reddit. In the sense it’s probably white people who are going to benefit from the enshitification.

At the very least I’m hoping we can have good faith discussions about progressive topics. IRL I typically talk to people more conservative me, so it is interesting to talk to someone coming from a different end of the political spectrum.

We have a federal presidential constitutional republic or FPCR in the US. It has three branches of government at the federal level that ideally work as checks and balances on each other. Then there are many subordinate state governments that act as a means of delegating responsibility for the federal government. Our representatives in federal, state, and local governments are democratically elected and ideally should represent the majority of the population. We the people rule in America. The US is not without its flaws, but we are a democracy.

What was that subreddit about? =/

It does seem like the admin level is an issue when it comes to reddit and racism. This is easier to observe as there are fewer admins than users. I do want to see some kind of data to be convinced it is the majority of people on reddit. I only have my personal experience to go on. I remember fondly how conservatives bemoaned that reddit was dominated by liberals. So from my personal experience the racists were the minority. I could be wrong though, because I don’t have political census data on redditors.

I think you’ll find that goes both ways. We can defend ourselves too. You are not on Hexbear. This is Blahaj.

They do have a persecution complex, I’ll give you that. =D

We can see how the electoral college votes, just as we can see that China’s elections are a sham. Loyalty to Xi is the only thing that matters in Chinese politics now.

Defend what?

ourselves

they know jack shit about what those people actually think

I’m interested to learn more about what those people actually think.

Western communists are typically quite familiar with the ideology of liberals.

I’m not sure how they can be if they think everyone to the right of them is a liberal.
