George Floyd's death at the hands of police seemed to mark a turning point in America's race relations, but politics has overtaken the response.

    There was a random right wing Floyd vid on TikTok. The comments were trash and usual right wing talking points and fake news.

    I commented “even if he was Hitler, he has the right to trial and not be murdered slowly on the street” and my post was removed.

    Great.

      The right wing censors everything that is not lockstep with whatever the current message is. They carefully curate their message boards while decrying when others do it.

      I used to use Reddit a lot and I talked a lot of shit over the years. The only time I got a temp ban was for posting that the GOP should take out Ron Desantis like the dirty diaper he is on a Pro-Trump discussion.

      When I pointed out my comment was rather tame compared to the others ones on the post the mods claimed I was harassing them and tried to get my account banned. It was insane but I learned an important lesson.

        Reddit mods are insane. I pointed out the hypocrisy of the the r/news mods in that they would delete any story that didn’t suck of Israel, while keeping the pro Israel post open and unlocked, they fuckin banned me. Then when I complained to the reddit admins they permabanned me. Reddit is a cesspool and I hope they go broke.
