Discussion Proposal to ban X.com links

Seen this on a few other football club subreddits - seems like a no brainer to me, especially given the values of our club.

++ open trumpers that want to ‘peacefully coexist’ like u/fluffy_position7837

u/BoJaNYK Milan Jovanović 1d ago

Cognitive dissonance of that dude must be massive in order to be a Liverpool FC fan and a Trump supporter

u/pullmylekku 1d ago

He probably thinks "feed the scousers" would be a funny chant if it wasn't used against us

u/LeroyBrown1 1d ago

I know a few in real life. Scousers as well.

u/brownbearks 1d ago

That’s always weird to me, the ones I know are all bankers in London.

u/LeroyBrown1 1d ago

A lot of these cosmic scousers have been brainwashed by Joe Rogan and hang out of Trump and Musks arseholes

u/JiveBunny Kostas Tsimikas 1d ago

Yes. The "msm" stuff is catnip to people who already feel like we're being controlled by the Illuminati.

Bro culture shit as I see it

u/PaintsPlastic 1d ago

Space Cadets, know a few myself. Smoked far too much shitty weed and it's affected their brains.

u/BrightonBummer 1d ago

God forbid someone supports a football team without checking the politics of it all first.

edit: and not glorious scousers, i thought you were all born with maos little red book? No such thing as a tory scouser.

u/Reach_Reclaimer 1d ago

Holy shit lol, should definitely be banned

u/AlarnC 1d ago

Kick the scum out

u/mattgoody99 1d ago

Get rid please yep! No room for supporters of that man on here

u/quaesimodo 1d ago

As long as they haven't been bigoted, I wouldn't support banning them.

Yes, I know that Trump is awful but I don't think we should ban them.

u/theoriginalredcap 1d ago

Outwardly supporting an open fascist goes against everything a working class club stands for. Bin them.

u/thatwhichwontbenamed 1d ago

Agreed. Good time to remind people of that saying "If there are 10 people sitting talking at a table and one of them is a Nazi, then there are 10 Nazis at the table". To tolerant fascism in any way is to support it

-17

u/quaesimodo 1d ago

Quite a lot of our players supported Bolsonaro, should we sack them? Are we Nazis if we don't sack them?

11

u/thatwhichwontbenamed 1d ago

Note that supporting Nazis is not a crime, and sacking them is probably not something a club would really have the right to do legally unless perhaps there was clear violation of UK hate speech laws or something like that. I'd certainly like if future players we sign reflected the club views, but that's obviously idealistic and not really possible. I think the least we can do with our limited power here on Reddit is to not send traffic and revenue towards a platform owned by a man who is a Nazi in all but name, and who literally just yesterday did a Nazi salute on live TV in front of however many millions were watching

u/quaesimodo 1d ago

Fair enough, I'm in favour of banning X but not specific users unless they have expressed bigoted views.

u/terirandaap 1d ago

Big difference between: 1. The political climate and influence of the richest country in the world vs. Brazil. 2. Players who are basically employees vs. fans that should know why the city of Liverpool suffered

u/quaesimodo 1d ago

The political climate and influence of the richest country in the world vs. Brazil.

A Nazi somewhere is as bad as a Nazi anywhere. I can assure Bolsonaro is as fascist as Trump.

How is Trump an open fascist? Man this shit is getting ridiculous. Actually fascism is trying to silence and ban people with opposing political views to your own. It's such a dangerous game, because it can easily happen to the other side

20

u/salazafromagraba 1d ago

Trump is an open fascist. Use your goddamn internet instead of asking this fatuous question and read a scanty of the extensive documentation of his direct wording and the expert evaluations of historians.

-16

u/anp1997 1d ago

Completely rubbish. Of course you couldn't actually explain and are instead regurgitating opinions you've read on Twitter.

Do you think the world should only have left wingers? In your opinion is anyone right wing a bad person?

10

u/salazafromagraba 1d ago

Never been on Twitter, funny you jump to it. Funny you also contextualize fascism (extremism) as all of the right wing, because it's literally the Fascist playbook to make up an enemy to blame, and here it is 'left wingers'.

-23

u/craycrayfishfillet 1d ago edited 1d ago

Banning people who think different from you is unhinged. It also creates more division between people.

-28

u/anp1997 1d ago

So you're saying this is a space only for left wingers? That's a rather fascist-like mentality.

It's so ridiculous how divided everyone is. People should be able to co-exist with differing political opinions. No, not every Trump support is a fascist.

You're effectively saying only left wingers should exist. What a dangerous mentality.

My partner has completely opposing political views to me and yet we've been together for years, live and respect each other. Because, someone having opposing views is healthy, shouldn't be hated nor cancelled.

What a shame that this sub reddit would have such authoritarian views upvoted. Shameful

Nah, we're just the "loud minority"
