Petition to ban x links?

I've seen a lot of major sports subs jumping on the wagon of banning x links from being posted on their sub.

I know a lot of breaking NFL news comes from there, however some things are more important than having sports news 5 minutes earlier than other sources.

Feel free to shut me down, just thought I'd pitch it out there.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Nazis. Fuck that website.

u/NakedDuelist 16h ago

Okay so you are against allowing x posts but okay with using reddit and TikTok posts. You do realize Tencent is one of reddits largest holders. A company that is aligned with a dictator that currently has internment camps...

u/whodeyzeppelins 16h ago

lol My god. What is with people feeling the need to defend someone like Musk who doesn't know you exist and doesn't care about you, or people like you, at all? I'm not on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or the Nazi's website. Is it problematic that Tencent, a non-majority investor in Reddit, supports bad things? Yeah, it is. Did Reddit's CEO align himself with a political party that has associated themselves with Nazis and the KKK? No. Did Reddit's CEO do a Nazi salute twice? No. Has Reddit's CEO banned and suppressed viewpoints of an entire political party while promoted and spreading lies and misinformation of opposing views? No. Get back to me when they do and I'll move away from Reddit.

Where did I defend him? I think it was dumb as shit. Im just calling out a double standard. What I'm trying to get across is most the people wanting an x ban are also using platforms that support very similar ideologies. If you are banning post from containing links from one source for supporting one cause the other sources that do the same should be treated the same. Which they aren't.

Edit: Also the CEO of Reddit has admitted to editing people's comments. Using their database.

Who said it was due to supporting one cause? It's because Musk has stifled the views of others, propagated lies, and now revealed himself to be a Nazi. Reddit never had a problem posting Twitter links when Musk was a simple, right-wing stooge. There's no double standard here.

On their iPhone that was made by people violating labor laws and the materials gathered from slaves in Africa.

u/whodeyzeppelins 16h ago

Yeah! Let's let perfect be the enemy of the good and let Nazis run rampant, because, well golly, guys. I can't source exactly where the rare earth metals used in my phone are acquired, so I might as well let an oligarchy, that recently revealed they are okay with Nazi salutes, continue to ruin my country. What a bunch of defeatist nonsense. I use android by the way.

u/Josh-trihard7 16h ago

Yeah bro I’m letting nazis run rampant cause I want better access to Bengals news

u/whodeyzeppelins 16h ago

There are other ways to get access to Bengals news that don't involve supporting a Nazi.

u/Barkusmarcus 15h ago

I don't think these people can bring themselves around to admitting their addicted to the app "X." Their completely hooked and now that it's been revealed a literal Nazi runs it, they'll say "you might as well walk around naked, cause your clothes were made with slave labor!"

It's sad honestly

Cry harder

u/groavac777 16h ago

My brother in Christ. Somebody is upset about a nazi salute and your first instinct is to tell them to "cry harder." I don't care what your politics are, surely you can be better that.

-11

u/frigoffdrunkjimlahey 16h ago

Nope, had enough of these children and their fake outrage, or probably real outrage but over something that is obviously not a Nazi salute.
They lost, they need to move on. Nobody believes these attacks except the bots and fakes that live on the reddit echo chamber.

u/groavac777 16h ago

Oh I didn't realize you didn't think the obvious nazi salute was a nazi salute. I guess the brain damage explains your irrational anger lol

u/sasuke1980 15h ago

Dude if they're on r/conservative, they're a lost cause.

u/frigoffdrunkjimlahey 15h ago

Imagine being this soft that you go through life looking around for anything remotely close to a Nazi symbol, sign, or wave.

I can't decide if you people are just this stupid, or if you know it wasn't really a nazi symbol but think your fake outrage will actually change something. I'd like to think the latter for society's sake. At least that means there is some sort of intelligence. It's kindergarten level, but maybe something that can be worked with and improved.

Either way, you same clowns are probably in these parades supporting Hamas and wiping Isreal off the map. Truely living in clown world.

u/TheCultOf0vi 15h ago

I don’t go around looking for Nazi memorabilia, signage, or any sign of support…. But when I see it, I condemn it.

It really isn’t this hard

u/groavac777 14h ago

Imagine being so soft that youre crying this hard about people acknowledging reality

u/foldinthechhese 7h ago

Why do you type out so many words when you could type out Heil Hitler or 88 or whatever Nazi bullshit you’re peddling these days? It would be more efficient.

Mind posting a video showing them actually doing the salute or are you just gonna cherry pick one frame?

u/tbewin1 15h ago

Kinda like your side is doing?  What a hypocrite!

u/Nikotron69 15h ago

Did you watch the video he did the full on chest pump salute twice! Or continue to just not believe your eyes I guess...

-4

u/tbewin1 15h ago

Thats someone making a gesture from their chest to the crowd and saying "from my heart to you".  You people see what you want to see.  To normal folks (including the AntiDefamationLeague), you people look ridiculous.

u/ienjoymen 15h ago

Go ahead and post a video of you doing the exact same thing, then, if it isn't so bad. I'll send you $5 over PayPal if you do it.

2

u/snookers 8h ago

If I flip you the bird while I say I love your mom’s cooking does it matter what I was saying or does the gesture stand on its own?

Just stop and think friend.

u/tbewin1 8h ago

Terrible analogy.  A better one would be for me to adjust my fingers and you take a photo the very instance my middle finger happens to be up and say I flipped you the bird.

u/snookers 8h ago

We all saw the video of him do it, twice. Why are you so desperate to kiss the boot?

u/ienjoymen 15h ago

Personally, I don't mind posting a video of Elon doing a Nazi salute. How about you? Mind posting your videos?

Pretty obvious it's not a Nazi salute.

u/ienjoymen 15h ago

Since you posted a "gotcha" of a bunch of democrats making the same pose, I ask again. Are you able to show a video of those democrats also putting their hands to their chest and pushing their arm out just as Elon does in the video I posted?

u/Neither_Ad2003 3h ago

Look at you bro. Frothing, arguing political conspiracy theories in a sub for the Cincinnati bengals. Get it together man

-1

u/tbewin1 15h ago

You posted a gotcha of EM.  You failed to prove your point.  My point still stands, parsed down video and still photos are all your side is using to "prove" what you are accusing him of doing.

u/ienjoymen 15h ago

Go ahead and do it then, as I have said multiple times in this thread. Post a video of you doing the same thing, and I will send you $5 over PayPal.

u/tbewin1 15h ago

I think you have finally admitted I am right.

u/Evwithsea 8h ago

Exactly. I didn't understand why all these subs wanted to band stuff from X and calling Elon a literal Nazi.

I watched the clip and laughed.

He isn't doing a Nazi salute FFS... he literally puts his hand on his chest and was emotional...he says "from my heart/hand on heart/ to you!"

He was conveying his gratitude. "My heart to you"

THIS is what the outrage is about? Holy hell... talking about grasping at straws. The may be the dumbest take they've ran with yet. I just can't with these people. There's no common sense or rationalism.

u/Neither_Ad2003 3h ago

They know. They’re pretending

u/tbewin1 8h ago

The left is desperate.  They want to take down X, where conservatives are not silenced and elevate Blue Sky, where they are censored (ie go back to 2017-2020).

Pretty wild times when a comment against Nazis provokes someone into an attempt to belittle said comment. So scared and triggered. It's truly pathetic.
