I don't even get hating Jews. I get they are in a lot of powerful positions, but Isreal is the freest country in the Middle East. Definitely things to criticize, but culturally it's basically America. If that's anything to go by, I'm not worried at all about them.
Plus they are literally the sworn enemies of Islam, which, as a political and cultural belief system, is an actual existential threat to the West.
Posts along the lines of "gas the kikes" is not fine. Same thing as using racial slurs for no purpose. I've seen both so far in here, mods have been good cleaning it up.
Amen. I'd like to see some rational discussion about Israel. I am highly supportive of Israel but that does not mean I think they are perfect. And Bebe, dig him and think he's the shit, but that is based entirely on emotion. I don't know squat about the controversies. My balloon will probably get busted.
Really? I have not seen that here, yet. Maybe it depends on how the criticism is put forth. Criticism in inself can be constructive or rudely offensive with unwise word choices.
Nah free speech here is not the point. We are open about censorship hence the rules. This is a 24 hour trump rally. Say bad things about trump you should be down voted and deported. Say things that make trump and supporters look bad, down voted and deported.
ALL things considered...I find the overall tone of this site to be very respectful and a breath of fresh air, particularly considering the suppression we just escaped. I think we know how to handle freedom and assist others to do the same. Don't start down the censorship road or we lose...and we prefer winning.
Please censor racism here as they'll use it in their attempts to get this site shut down. CENSOR AWAY and let them keep their racism on Reddit and /pol/
TBH, I think a lot of it is karma whoring by some pedes. A post yesterday claimed ALERT ALERT there is a subreddit called Destroy_The_Donald and they are conspiring over there to come brigade us and whatnot. I checkout the sub - there’s only one member, with a handful of new posts with no upvotes. And the post the OP screenshot - the user deleted their account.
TL, DR - mind your business, post funny shit, and let the mods do their jobs.
Truth, acknowledging that there are some unethical people in an ethnic group, is not anti-semitism or racism. It is just reality. Generalizing a group is dangerous for everyone. As the White bashers do, for instance. It's just as foolish to think any group is made up entirely of righteous people.
But we don't need more or new rules, the ones, which are already in place are enough for that. It's like gun ownership, new rules/laws aren't necessary if the existing ones would be enforced.
I agree with the overall sentiment. Full disclosure: I was the person who proposed the idea of coming up with a term that didn't indicate we were abnornal by calling those who are led by the media "normies". I understand what your trying to say, but I didn't "try to stop anyone", as you said. I just think it's a dumb term. But clearly, I'm wrong, because everyone disagreed. I'm cool with that. That's free speech.
I'm not going to be on board with overt racism and will call it out or vote it down. It has nothing to do with Trump or his values, the very things this place was created to support and let people talk about. I won't call for censorship unless it becomes disruptive, like 13 year old boys and people with OCD are prone to do.
I never talked about the mods, but other users who want to regulate content and words. I also wrote 4 times, that we should just report and the tools we have are enough.
Did you even read shadowman3001’s post about the shit he was forced to delete by the Reddit Admins? We were heavily censored over there. If you want to be racist or antisemitic, go to Voat.
Free speech doesn’t mean it’s a fucking free-for-all. You have free speech but do you tell your mother to get fucked? Probably not. Show the same restraint here. We have standards to maintain.
Discernment helps people know, or decide, what is unwise to say. And people continue to learn as they go. When I started at T_D I was so stinkin angry at what had happened to me from Liberals because I love and support Trump. For the first 6 months I know I was a real asshole. I got passed it for the most part.
Which isn't the problem, as long as the definition isn't watered down to opinions and facts I don't like are racist. This will be the hardest part. Trump isn't racist in the first place, because he wants to make a better America for all Americans.

I really don't get it.
That can be a two way street though, no? We all have the adult ability to ignore shit we don’t like.
Criticizing Israel is (should be) fine.

It's high school tier, edgelord horseshit.

While i think we should advocate for significantly less funding towards Israel, holocaust denial is retarded and instantly puts everyone off.
AMERICA FIRST!

If you hit Deport, it's one of the reasons.

I would like a list of the phrases names and concepts that Reddit prunes and deletes. We don’t even know clearly what all they have silenced us on.
Half the things I said there were probably pruned. Happy so happy to be away from that poisonous place.
Check the sticky about this.

Can and should aren't the same thing. Now can you talk about Israel's nuclear weapons or do you glow.
Yup.
yeah..getting real annoying. Whole point of leaving reddit was the censorship. Now you say one thing and same thing happens here.

AMEN
His user name alone should tell you he isn't ready to grow up
Read the rules, nowhere in it does it say racism is allowed, deal with it. Grow up or go back to Reddit/pol where racism is encouraged
Racism is a deportable thing here. And that's good because we have all sorts of Pedes in our fam.

FUCK ISRAEL. AMERICA FIRST
