    Reddit full bore banned me for saying “I should have a legal right to punch nazis” and declined my appeal.

    Reddit is unironically nazi aligned and that’s not a joke it’s terrifying.

      I haven’t been full banned yet but have grown tired of the amazing levels of stupidity. I caught a temp ban for incivility for writing “Your mother should have gone through with her Planned Parenthood appointment.”

        Not very civil of you dear…

        Tbh you can catch bans for that here but beauty of fediverse is that power tripping mods have limited ability to ban you fedi wide so freedom enjoyer’s just go do their discourse on other sub’s and servers

      But… but… Won’t someone think of the poor innocent nazis???

      (I got a warning for pretty much the same reason and decided not to hang around until I got a full ban.)

      Most people agree punching nazis is fine, very few people agree on who is and isn’t a nazi.

      It is precisely because useful clueless idiots are constantly being classified as nazis that no one is taking accusations of actual nazis seriously. Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.

        I’ve been hearing this for years, and yet, literal neo-nazis are running the us government now. But go ahead and keep using the anti-woke rhetoric lol.

          Exactly! Literal nazis in government, calling them out does nothing! Very few people are taking it seriously.

        what a cop out. there’s no functional difference between an idiot that works to advance nazi ideologies and the same but they have a swastika tattoo on their neck. to resist fascism means to confront ALL fascists. it’s not about disagreement or people you dont like, most people are using ur-fascism as their default definition and umberto eco has a fucking 14 point checklist we’re using. to act like it’s so arbitrary is completely out of touch.

          Useful idiots are working against their own interests, while hard, it is possible to reason with them. A self-conscious nazi is a nazi through and through.

        Nazis thrive on diluting language—twisting words like “freedom” and “patriotism” to serve their agenda. Ironically, the same thing happens when “Nazi” gets thrown around carelessly. Mislabeling people weakens the term, but so does refusing to acknowledge real extremists. Precision matters—both in calling out threats and in resisting linguistic manipulation.
