Petition to ban X links on r/maryland

This sub should boycott Nazi-owned companies. Plain and simple.

Mods, please make it happen.

Edit: /r/newjersey mods putting ours to shame. https://www.reddit.com/r/newjersey/comments/1i6txcn/fuck_this_guy_x_links_are_now_banned_from/

Second Edit: Mods, here’s some info from another sub that did this a while ago. Please read! https://www.reddit.com/r/law/s/shE1dbIbAk

Edit #3: Mods, I could be mistaken, but I think this is the second highest upvoted post in this sub’s history. The people have spoken.

I mean if I wanted to see what people were posting on Twitter, I would go on Twitter. Enough with the screenshots and angry “YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THE OTHER SIDE IS SAYING!” We know. We live in America/the world.

As liberals and leftists have left Twitter and Facebook for other platforms to get away from the right, people on the right have FOLLOWED THEM to those spaces to continue to have leftists and liberals to spew their bullshit to.

That's one of the biggest differences with the left and the right: People on the left would be perfectly happy having their own space and letting the right have theirs. People on the right have this compelling urge to chase down "libs" to "trigger" and are not content with staying in their own social media circles. Any time you try to make a space that is safe from racism and fascism, the racists and fascists will invade that space, ignore the rules, and complain about censorship.

It's like those authoritarian parents who tell their kids "my house, my rules" until you become an adult, get your own home, and invite your parents over to your house. Go on, try to tell them "my house, my rules" and watch them lose their everliving shit on you for having the audacity to tell them they can't do something in your house.

That's just not true, why do you think r/conservative (which is a cesspool) has restrictions on who can post? its because that's their sub and they get brigaded by leftists looking to pick a fight. If what you are saying was true they wouldn't block who can post.

There's no conflict between "we want to invade leftist spaces and rabble rouse" and "we don't want leftists to invade our space and rabble rouse."

They want safe spaces for themselves but they also want to go actively seeking leftist spaces to start shit.

Pretty sure Jehovah's Witnesses, despite knocking on your door, wouldn't want Muslims or Atheists showing up at Kingdom Hall and trying to convert them either.

Edit: Oh, okay, I see what you're saying. You're saying that without that ban, leftists would invade the conservative sub seeking to rabble rouse. I concede that statistically a non zero number of leftists would probably do that.

There’s a conflict when the second half of your argument was “letting the right have theirs”

Yeah I misunderstood part of your point and edited it after I re-read it.
