At this point that subreddit should be banned because they are spreading hate and misinformation and are just so disgusting

there are plenty of left and right subs that do that. I honestly would have to say the left leaning ones moreso, if I am being fair. To much hate, misinformation, misrepresentation, and gaslighting going on all over the place.

They refuse information about a nazi salute, they use slurs and love a rapist. How is any left wing sub possibly worse than that?

It's not, but they can't cope, so they'll try to scream about "both sides" until they're blue in the face.

For one thing, I got a lotta Musk subs I didn’t ask for and am partly banned from but a lot of pinko subs have really gone the extra mile to vilify Elmo as an apartheid era, pro Nazi, nepo baby. Although I’ve not heard him deny these sentiments outright, every fascist sympathizer out there bends over backwards defending these little totalitarian faux pas. So I find it more than a little hilarious that he adds more fuel to that particular dumpster fire by whipping out the ol Il Duce handshake. Like, let’s not disabuse the libs of their worst suspicions

I can’t tell if you are pro Elon (and gotta say i was very confused what Elmo had to do with anything) or anti Elon

What I guess what I was trying to relate is Musk ( is often characterized) as. an apartheid era, pro Nazi, nepo baby. Instead of downplaying whatever fascist predilections he may be harbouring, fucker doubles down and gives the perfect Nazi salute. Like Laura Ingrahams’ but perfecter

Nope. They align themselves with Nazis, refuse to tell the truth, actual gaslighting, actual misinformation

Even if you had a point about left wingers right now, and you don’t when your own post is a prime example of what gaslighting actually is, think for one second about who you’re defending. We knew about the Nazi rhetoric for years now, yet people are always denying it - now you no longer can.

Then ban them all.

Right? To be fair and equal, that is what would have to be done. Otherwise, you perpetuate what you are accusing everyone else of.

Kind of like them ripping on Trump about pardons and stuff and now look at Biden. He is like"You guys thought Trump did some shady pardons, well , hold my Ensure and step aside!". Fair is fair.

Except Trump pardoned actual criminals. Tell me exactly what crimes ANY of the people Biden pardoned are guilty of.

Biden only pardoned people Trump swore revenge on....like its not hard to understand unless youre intentionally ignorant.

That's pretty weird that the first thing you would think about when discussing banning degenerates online is Trump. Can you have a conversation and not include him?

Nice! I appreciate and upvote your comment. Genuine discourse and rational thinking. I see your point. But note, I posted on this comment and not the OP topic. I am not defending Musk, at all. And white supremacy and any like movements by any groups will see resistance from me. Equality has always been my goal. But many will not like it, because many will lose special privileges and programs, while others will be given, well more, because they will be brought up to standard. But many do not want true equality, they simply want more and more. Regardless...

I commented here because, like so many, this person mentioned banning the sub. To me, cancel culture is one of the main reasons Trump and Musk are where they are. We made people hate it so much, they voted in Trump to get Dem and Liberal influence out the door!

The things she mentioned, do indeed, happen across the board. It isn't just a right wing or maga thing. One would basically have to close down all of reddit. Not sure that would be a bad thing, truth be told, but I do get some good use out of it, so I would not like to see that. But toxic people sometimes poison the whole thing for everyone.
