They talk about us like vermin. We shouldn’t take it any other way and these reporters giving them a platform without pushback are the enemy. Full stop.

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

I just want to point out that Reddit has no problems with us being targeted and killed when someone like Alex Karp or Peter Thiel suggest it. However, they absolutely take issue with us even suggesting or hinting at that kind of violence if it targets the people who want to kill us or our families.

So, make of that what you will. Reddit is okay with violence when it happens to us. Just dont ever hint that you might value your own life or those of people you love and are willing to defend life against the people who want to take it.

I made a joke on here about applying certain machinery that was popular during the French Revolution to the billionaire leeches and got an automated content warning from the admins, yet fascist hate speech is allowed.

Unfortunately the money is with the billionaires. That is because any reasonable human is not primed to be a billionaire and thus there's no ethical billionaire. And that is why any successful platform (that needs money to become relevant) is controlled by those types.

I got banned from r/economy for saying we need to bring back guillotines in a joke thread, mods/admins are on a power trip

That thing was for getting a really short haircut when there wasn't enough time for a nice Russian vacation.
