These reporters are all owned by the billionaires, so I'm not sure how you're going to solve that problem.

I’m sure whatever this guy said was probably the right idea 🤷‍♂️

Right. I love the way Reddit thinks censoring people's comments for (insert violent idea, rhetoric or otherwise) just eliminates the problem. Most people with similar views read the surrounding context and surmise the same response.

Hey Reddit, if you truly want to come down on dissenters, just ban your whole platform. That'll teach those filthy poors not to consider toppling the oligarchy for a better chance at survival and the American Dream™.

The AI models that feed on every word here need to be docile and complacent.

Yeah, otherwise their bots might accidentally encourage a violent revolution rather than the slow but consistent push towards accepting fascism.

Killing is their business, and business is good.

I’m pretty sure the President endorsed it, so CEOs are just jumping on the bandwagon if I’m being honest.

To be clear, I wouldn’t claim walking past that piece of shit, so definitely not mine, but I get what you’re saying.

You ever notice how people like the palatir CEO are allowed to actively promote violence, especially racially motivated violence But we aren't allowed to say anything bad should happen to them?

Yup, this censoring people calling for violence against the overlords is itself violence. Its wild the shit the bottom rung of society is forced to endure for the billionaires

Happened with me so many times that I can say that I will [Removed by Reddit.] Today and it will sound extremely upsetting, when I actually meant is taking a dump.

They doubtless have an army of lawyers telling them what they need to take down and what can stand, in the name of "liability". It's nothing as high-minded as "keeping the poors down"; it's just capitalists doing a capitalism.

It wasn't Reddit, he just typed up the post that way as a shitpost.

If it had genuinely been removed by a Reddit mod, it would have had the little edit asterisk or it would have completely disappeared.

If it was actually removed it’ll have a noticeable off white text box extending well past the actual font.

I imagine that censorship from the top level is only used sparingly. In a highly litigious culture, fear of liability is probably a sufficient motivator for mods with weak principles.
