    that was such typical reddit “horseshoe” bullshit lmao. t_d was openly doxxing people, committed multiple real life hate crimes, was full of racism 24/7. chapo wasn’t even edgy or anything, it just advocated for politics libs don’t like.

      I mean it was a little edgy but almost entirely in ways that were completely justifiable (slave owners rhetoric comes off as edgy but is also obviously correct)

        If talking about shooting slave owners in the head and redistributing their property is edgy, then consider me the Honjo Masamune!

        i honestly don’t think “shoot slave owners” is even edgy to literally anybody. i think that was just a really poor excuse by reddit mods to justify banning CTH at the same time as T_D so none of the nutjobs on T_D could claim they were “unfairly targeted” and then go shoot up a black church or some shit over it. reddit wanted to get rid of cth for its politics, you can go on any default sub and see people saying punching nazis and slave owners and shit is good. the issue is when the whole sub thinks that then reddit has a problem
