        Mine was for saying that Nazi’s were a part in a war from 70 years ago, and that they should be dead now.

          I am convinced there is no human behind the suspensions and the moderators reporting those who report will have you banned irrespective of merit. Such a nice environment

      Being banned from somewhere doesn’t prove you right or wrong. It just means those particular people are angry at you, rightfully or not.

      Just a subtle reminder because fascists and nazis themselves regularly use such kinds of phrases. Doesn’t make them any more right or honorable.

      Do what is right, and always strive for freedom, and you’ll be good :)

          you know you’re right when it makes any group angry enough to ban you.

          Not really. If you say Hitler was right, or any of the myriad of other terrible statements you could make, and you get permabanned for it, you’re still wrong.

          You miss the important part.

          You ARE right, and you should fight for the truth, and not bow to anyone, but the mere fact that you were banned isn’t proof of anything.

          People calling for genocide get banned. Outright nazis get banned, even while they try to move the gate. Many terrible people do get banned. Doesn’t make them any more right. One can just be too stubborn to make reasoning impossible.

          “I was banned thereby I’m right” is a very dangerous idea that often fuels your - and our - enemies and blinds them to the reason. It serves nothing but radicalization, for the right or, very often, for the wrong.

          Saying those things validates the ideas that end up turning against you - and against the reason and the truth.

              For Reddit fascists, you are banned because of being horribly wrong.

              It’s very easy to say “they were banned for being wrong, I was banned for being right”, but ain’t that double standard?

              You were banned not for being right, but for saying something that fell out of Reddit guidelines - which can be skewed and fucked up, but it wasn’t you being a messiah and them trying to cover everyone from the truth and light you’re spreading.
