  • Exactly! But what worries me is that I am beginning to see a lack of this exact understanding more and more. On both sides equally lately too.

    I have been labeled a trump supporter for not agreeing with a specific thing. I have been labeled a “kamala communist” all that stuff, for the same in the reverse. I have been banned for hate speech for saying “Yeah this is my field of study, we dont actually do this - it would be dangerous - that is just something you hear politically active” - literally in an “Give me an alternate opinion” subreddit.

    It’s just like that little short film “Kill All Others” - I am being mistaken for being in the opposite side when really I have not picked a side. This ostracization is becoming more common. Hyperpoliticalization.



  • Silencing people who disagree with your side of the spectrum is a kill-all-others mentality. It is a slippery slope, and is authoritarian.

    Also… how is advocating for freedom of speech sided? A centrist can make centrist observations. I may end up voting democrat, but this doesnt mean I dont see through the pandering. The same can be said to both sides…

    Edit: I should add, it’s the hasty labelling of me as an “other” for… a misunderstanding (my comment on r/trump has 0 to do with Trump, it was actually about this exact thing going on), applying me to a group and restricting me - that is the Kill All Others I am seeing here.


  • So me making a joke on r/trump deserves not being able to talk in a completely unrelated sub? I also am registered as, and vote, Democrat (typically, and when not I vote third-party).

    Pretty logical conclusions we can make on “Freedoms” and “Speech” with this.

    And with you assuming I am right wing because I: Dont like being banned as a alt-right maniac when I make 1 comment on a 1 subreddit that I hardly agree with. That’s labeling and passing judgement. Disgusting how your comment has so many upvotes, when it is morally bankrupt.
