Trump Enslavement Syndrome - Orange man good. /r/The_Donald and any public demonstration of rabid pro-Trump enthusiasm in spite of all reason.

The first is so superior to the other I do not even think they should be compared, and I don't even like cripplechan that much

I compare them because you can create a subreddit or imageboard based around a specific topic or interest. Even when blatant glowniggers infest both sites, there's still far less festering cancer on 8chan.

You may even be right in this case, but why is it every single time a right-wing group is shown doing something wrong people always come out of the woodwork to claim it's a leftist false flag? To hear some of you talk right-wingers are perfect little angels and leftists have to lie their asses off to show them in an even slightly negative light, it's pretty amusing.

That sub was a hotbed of pro-police sentiment. Go against that there and get smashed. They devote an entire day every week to firearms. Police and military are huge parts of that sub. Any reports of posts calling for violence against police would have solved the problem, as I mentioned they do not hesitate to ban. It is definitely fake, any posts like that would be voluntarily removed by mods as soon as found.

And of course it's all a phony ex use to shut down the largest comcentration of Trump supporters on the internet. They don't care if they have to ban the 7 million+ TD members. The stakes are so high for them that anything is okay as long as it hurts Herr Drumpf.

It is not a coincidence that this happens in advance if the Democrat debates. Now dozens of pre-written articles will be issued decrying those violent Trump supporters. Deplatforming and widespread propaganda all in one.

I am actually glad they shut down r/Donald though. It was a circlejerk like you have never seen.

what about r/antifa though?

 

[ConfederateIrishman]

They totally took out the_donald for political reasons but the magapedes ruined /pol/ and by extension the rest of 4chan so I'm not that torn up about it.
In fact, the only thing I don't like about this is more plebbitors are probably flooding into /pol/ as I type this out.

 

[The Pink Panther]

r/TheDonald is autistic as fuck anyways.

r/conservative is way better. Those guys have tact and have a varied set of opinions unlike the ultimate circlejerk that is r/TheDonald...but it's definitely not as bad as r/politics..or especially r/politicalhumor. r/politicalhumor is FAR worse than r/politics and r/TheDonald.

To hear some of you talk right-wingers are perfect little angels and leftists have to lie their asses off to show them in an even slightly negative light, it's pretty amusing.

Maybe it just seems that way because the news media puts out 100 stories of "right wing groups doing something bad" for every one story of "left wing groups kinda maybe did something we'd rather they didn't" and 99 of those stories turn out to be completely false.

Much like EVERY TIME a random woman selling a book comes out of nowhere to accuse a prominent republican of raping her decades ago, people come out of the woodwork to claim it's a lie. Because we have a memory and the ability to think critically.

I like the cries of whataboutism. The rallying cry of the hypocrite. "You're not allowed to talk about the time I said it was ok for me to do it, we're talking about how it's NOT ok for you to do it!". It's relevant because it highlights very different treatment of actually violent antifa leftists given free reign while some spastic comment made by some randos gets the subreddit locked down.

Wow, a whole "kill those who disagree" subreddit. At least they aren't in favor of trump.

This has nothing to do with death threats. It's 100% political and if you believe otherwise you're deluded. More likely you don't believe the bullshit you're spewing, which is kinda worse.

 

[Lemmingwise]

Where is your evidence that the calls for violence were made by leftists who are trying to make The Donald look bad? Is it really so hard to believe that some (not all, some) Trump supporters are trigger-happy morons who are waiting for any excuse to voice their violent fantasies? And even if some of those posts were made by trolls, many of them are still upvoted and endorsed by the community.

Anyway, I don't really give a shit because The Donald is a circlejerk echo chamber that bans everyone who is remotely critical of Trump and unironically act like the LiBtArDs they despise by censoring speech and demonizing people they disagree with.

It wasn't a free speech sub, btw. It was an open pro donald trump sub.

There is a history of using that kind of entryist posts on a sub in order to get a sub banned. It's pretty easy to do.

Perhaps in isolation, I would have believed it, but there has been a slow march on each tech platform, starting with alex jones. More and more reddit subs got quarantined, more than a few that I followed and that were very reasonable and mostly secluded subs in the first place that didn't seek mass appeal.

I also don't think you fully appreciate the assault a sub like the_donald has been under for a long time. There have been plenty of downvoting bots, for example. I think it's pretty likely that there was a bot-war going on to up/downvote the_donald stuff.

As such, we don't really know if they were upvoted by the community or bots either. The only one entitity that could have some certainty on that is reddit, who can see their logs, but they've long ago decided to have a kind of tolerance policy towards shilling and botting. It's partly how they make their money.

When it comes down to it, subs like /the_donald/ are held to far more stringent rules and sometimes they fight these rules and sometimes they accept some of them. Look at for example a supposedly neutral sub, that everyone is subscribed to by default like /r/news or /r/worldnews, that did not have explicit algorithms trained against it, where the owner of the site didn't edit people's messages covertly as spez did at least once for /r/the_donald.

I don't even like the_donald, I think it's a boring place, but if you don't acknowledge the double standards between how left / right is treated on reddit, then you really are really blinding yourself. The comments on /r/news are at least, if not far more aggressive. I've commonly read suggestions that people with make america great hats should be poison gassed and the like.

 

[Poxy Fuckwit]

I can't think of how many times I've been called a shill on social media by hordes of fat boomers. In some cases they're just as bad as the SJWs they claim to hate. You can't say one thing you disagree with Trump about without them going insane.

Reddit has "quarantined" its subreddit "The Donald," the most popular section of its site for supporters of President Trump because of what it said were "threats of violence against police and public officials."
The subreddit has previously been embraced by Trump and his circle — in 2016, then candidate Trump held an "ask me anything" session on the forum. And The_Donald plays a central role in the online Trump-supporting world, with topics and memes often going viral there before they trend on Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms. Trump himself has tweeted at least one meme made by a user of The_Donald and Trump's current campaign manager said in 2016 that he visits it every day.
The quarantine means that people visiting The_Donald will see a warning message before accessing the subreddit and its posts will not appear in Reddit search.
"The reason for the quarantine is that over the last few months we have observed repeated rule-breaking behavior in your community," Reddit staff wrote to the volunteer moderators of The_Donald on Wednesday.
"Most recently, we have observed this behavior in the form of encouragement of violence towards police officers and public officials in Oregon," Reddit added.
While Reddit has a team of moderators on staff, The_Donald, like other subreddits, is mostly moderated by volunteers, in this case Trump supporters.
The alleged threats made against police in Oregon appears to have been related to the standoff over a state senate vote on a climate bill there.
In a statement provided to CNN, a Reddit spokesperson said, "We are clear in our site-wide policies that posting content that encourages or threatens violence is not allowed on Reddit. As we have shared, we are sensitive to what could be considered political speech, however, recent behaviors including threats against the police and public figures is content that is prohibited by our violence policy. As a result, we have actioned individual users and quarantined the subreddit."
Moderators of The_Donald argued on Wednesday that Reddit had set an "impossible standard" for the community to maintain, and that it was "a reason to kill us before the 2020 election."

Wow, a whole "kill those who disagree" subreddit.

WTF. That sounds like the name of a parody subreddit. Are they self-aware and just name it that because "lol, we're literally killing those we don't like because people with other opinions other than our 'correct' opinions should rot to death".

 

[KANGS]

Isn't t_d the largest collection of pro-Israel boomers on social media? I find it extremely difficult to believe that the sub's antisemitic or anti-police.

 

[V0dka]

How interesting all these "hate sites" and the prospect of "hate speech" are being shut down around the same time.

They really must not have anything for election campaign, otherwise they'd be able to pull through on their own merits. Just give voters a better option than what Trump is offering, that's all people want. What do you mean you don't have fuck all?

 

[Eryngium]

It's right before the first Democratic primary lol.

 

[Arctic Fox]

These cowards will leave no avenue of communication untouched. They're scorching the Earth, terrified that if they don't Trump will be elected again.
Do you think they already know he'll be re-elected regardless, and they're just panicking anyway? I have a feeling they already know they're fucked.

 

[FierceBrosnan]

Just give voters a better option than what Trump is offering, that's all people want.

It makes me wonder if they cannot offer anything better or just refuse to. The reality is it's most likely both.

Wait doesn't this thread exist already or am I in a time loop?

Wow, a whole "kill those who disagree" subreddit. At least they aren't in favor of trump.

I'm not sure what your first link is even implying. That's just accurate reporting of the news. ICE agents have directly caused the deaths of illegal immigrants and regardless of how you feel about immigration that's just a simple fact. Now people who call for the death of ICE members are obviously wrong but I just don't understand why you linked that story?

With your second link you're just outright lying about what the subreddit actually is. It's not a "kill those who disagree" subreddit. It's a subreddit about laughing and mocking people who think that way. You're purposefully misrepresenting what the subreddit is to support your argument.



The top comments aren't even in favor of the post, and most are defending ICE. This is not equivalent to some bloodthirsty antifa violence cult that you're making up solely for this discussion.


Also, in case you're wondering why antifa violence is taken less seriously than right-wing violence its because the right wing currently has most of the power in the United States. Despite whether you agree politically with their aims, there's a massive power imbalance that makes people look more favorably upon antifa. The President of the United States is Donald Trump, a fact I often have to keep re-iterating to conservatives looking for easy victim status for some reason. You won! Your guy is in. You don't get to play victim when you're in the White House. Also, antifa attacks people at rallies and political figures, a far cry from the attacks and murders of church goers and worshippers right wingers have committed. Despite the violent nature of black bloc tactics they will always be taken less seriously than people who routinely take selfies with their massive collections of guns. This is how human perception works.

ICE is vastly more powerful than antifa and is an arm of the US government under Trump, thus ICE doesn't get to claim victim status.
