I came across a post on Reddit showing Mussolini at the end of his career, specifically him hanged from his ankles in the Piazzale Loreto. I left a comment, “we didn’t get the chance to do this with Hitler, but we should make this traditional.” Yes, not the most benign comment, but far “threatening violence or physical harm,” at least I think so. A bot must have come across that and thought “beep boop,” because suddenly my account was permanently banned. It’s honestly insulting that a human took no part in this process.

    Further to that, on reddit that comment would have been acceptable if targeted at Muslim “terrorists”, or Soviets, or any number of the acceptable targets as decided by “centrists”.

      Excellent point. I didn’t think of that. If we can say, “kill all terrorists,” we should be able to say, “kill all fascists” because, as we all know, fascists are terrorists.

        I wonder how many death threats towards the “woke left” are made in an hour on the conservative sub.

          What? No. That would be outrageous. They don’t make claims that we should kill leftists. They just argue that leftists shouldn’t be allowed in the workplace. Also, unemployed people aren’t entitled to food, shelter, medicine, or citizenship. Also, people who steal food, shelter, or medicine should be imprisoned and forced to work for free. Also, recidivists and those who refuse to work for free should be killed. So, no, they’re not openly stating that the woke left should be killed.
