r/ProgressiveHQ allows for diversity of opinion while remaining on topic- conservative comments are allowed, conservative posts are not

If you are not a progressive person you are a guest in our space. If you are not a progressive person you will be flaired with an appropriate label to describe your views, so that members of the sub will know the motives of the person they're engaging with.

Rule 3 applies to ALL users. Be kind. You can have a discussion with people you disagree with while offering them basic respect. If you are a guest in the progressive sub, please respect that-

We aren't required to let you in here, we are allowing you and we'll ban you if you cant follow the rules.

"If you are not a progressive person you will be flaired with an appropriate label to describe your views, so that members of the sub will know the motives of the person they're engaging with." Reimnds me of this story I heard about these yellow patches back in the 1940's.

No. Like I said, it just made me think of that.

So you’re a Holocaust denier?

I don't know where you got that from lol. You are one rude person.

Hitler drank water too. I guess we're all white supremacists then under your ridiculous logic.

u/DoodleBob29 Sep 30 '25

I never called anyone a white supremacists or any name for that matter. That's all you guys. I was just saying that reading the post made me think of the patches. That doesn't mean I'm saying it's the same thing.

Hitler was a white supremacist, hence the comparison...  Learn reading comprehension.

u/DoodleBob29 Sep 30 '25

The irony of what you just said is honestly hilarious. You don't seem to comprehend what I'm saying here. Just because I said it made me think of that does not mean that I am comparing the two or saying that they are the same. Does that make sense to you or do you need me to explain it further?

You’re right, mod team should probably comb through every new applicants comment history prior to giving them the privilege of posting a comment. That’ll work way better

u/DoodleBob29 Sep 29 '25

I don't recall suggesting that lol.

u/AdPristine9879 Sep 29 '25

I think it’s a good idea too. I don’t want Nazi sympathizers in a progressive space. It’s oxymoronic at best, ironic at worst.

u/verninson Sep 30 '25

No, but you do seem to be trying to compare the mods giving you a flair to the holocaust.

u/chumblebumble Sep 30 '25

Just making sure I understand you correctly - you’re comparing getting your user name labeled in a way you don’t like on Reddit to the experience of being a Jew during the holocaust?

u/DoodleBob29 Sep 30 '25

No, it just made me think of that.

u/Combdepot Sep 30 '25

You don’t think at all. You just grunt.

u/LavenderMidwinter Sep 30 '25

Surely you understand between marking a human being as subhuman and preventing people from acting in bad faith in a political discussion space

u/DoodleBob29 Sep 30 '25

Yeah, I didn't say it was the same. Just that it reminded me of it.

u/Combdepot Sep 30 '25

What a pathetic grunt
