Edit: There used to be a screenshot here. I messed up the link in an edit and don’t have a local copy saved.
My comment was roughly 'It already looks like it might be better than things now, at least Biden never advocated for full displacement of all Palestine."
I had already seen half the comment section of the post with ban marks. This single comment copped me a fully-expected permaban. Unfortunately my comment doesn’t show up in modlogs so I had to retype it more or less from memory.
The bloodshed:
Screenshot edited as per mod request.
Most of the banned comments are actually still visible. If you browse the thread you’ll notice there’s nothing particularly inflammatory or banworthy about any of them.
Best part, in the middle of all that banning, our buddy found the time to mod the one guy in that post who supported his opinions. Welp, another echo chamber in the making.
Follow up:
The mod posted in a similar post in this comm. FWIW, while I stand by my actions and opinion, I did msg them to offer them a personal apology.
Edit: In response to a private message I sent. The mod apologized, and unbanned me. I’m leaving up what I wrote since, well, I did wrote it and I’m not going to pretend I didn’t.
Original text of my post:
I just got banned from there for 3 days because I pointed out a guy was being a Racist by going on and on about how “Westerners” this and “Westerners” that (i.e. being prejudiced about everybody born in a certain area), even though I very explictly agreed with most of his points on the quality of the points themselves and generally agree that what the Biden administration did and what Israel has been doing is unnacceptable.
Same mod doing the banning as you see above. I’m genuinelly wondering if this mod account hasn’t been hacked and is now being run from Tel Aviv since it’s a far smarter Psy Ops strategy upon capturing such an account to start antagonizing neutrals and even supporters of the Palestinian cause than to merelly close the forum (since a new similar forum would quickly be openned elsewhere) - it makes sense for a Counter-Propaganda op to poison the well.
You went to a Palestine community, sure someone critising westerners for not treating Palestinians as human, and went on a deranged rant about reversed rascism.
“Western” is just a euphemism for white supremacy and “westerner” is just a euphemism for pale skin.
Are you suggesting this person was doing “reverse racism” against YTs? B/c reverse racism is just a fascist fantasy. That’s the real r/conservative. I would ban that nonsense too.
You’re sailing very close to the shores of tankie-land with this campist statement.
Making generalized statements about ideas held and behaviours on all people born in a certain geographical location or with certain skin color is Racial Prejudice because it’s anchored on the idea that people born in a certain area or with the genes to express a certain skin color “Are all the same”, which is pure Prejudice (you’re presuming belifs and actions for a large number of individual human beings based on how they look and were the were born, both things they were born with and thus not of their choice and none of which things that they actually chose and did)
Racism is equally Racism for all geographical locations or skin colors being targetted and only a Racist would think that it’s less bad to target some skin colors or geographical locations than others.
well no matter how divisive this comment section may get we can all at least agree you made the least correct one so good job XD
That’s exactly what they did
