    I was banned from Reddit for saying I enjoyed the parts of red dead redemption 2 where you had to kill slave owners and kkk members. Literally said I enjoyed a mainstream video game and the main quest. Inciting violence against polygons in an imaginary world that took place 150 years ago.

    Imagine saying you enjoyed playing Wolfenstein.

      Reddit also banned me for saying nazis deserve to be punched. A comment I made under a post similar to this. Appearantly making such posts is fine, but commenting the same shit is unforgivable.

      I think reddit ostensibly banned /r/ChapoTrapHouse because the mods weren’t banning people who said slave owners should be killed.

      Yeah, I’m not sure what’s up over there where it suddenly became not ok to punch Nazis.

      It used to be even mainstream media encouraged punching Nazis. Don’t watch an old Blues Brothers movie if punching Nazis offends you too I guess.

        Anybody there not a conservative is the worst sort of neolibs imaginable. You can’t use violence and stoop to their level they like to claim even as they were mass murdering people as long as they were safe they would claim responding with violence back would somehow be wrong.

        • One can be conservative and not be a Nazi though. It’s weird how there is this vibe that you’re supposed to pick a side then vehemently defend the far extremes of what other with that political bent want to do. You have otherwise regular people saying it’s not okay to punch Nazis for example. Mainstream social media sucks.

            The issue is that the mainline GOP doesn’t want to weed the Nazis in their midst, because elections are too close to afford the loss of their votes and the sympathizer votes.

      I got booted for saying we should kill them, in relation to a repeat offender pdf file.

      Literally the next comment in the thread was saying it should be legal.

      Wolfenstein: new order is pretty sus.

      In the game there’s actually a Jewish Cabal conspiring against the third riche, which would make the Nazis…right?

        And that kind of shit is exactly the reason why there’s still a denazified German version. Killing Nazis isn’t the issue, putting them in a metaphysical context, derealising them, etc, is what’s the problem. You don’t want kids one day to think of Nazis as fictional characters.

          Wrong. Nazi symbolism is just straight up banned in Germany. There are exceptions for stuff like documentaries and also for use in art. Movies have been accepted as art for a while. Videogames only recently. The regular version os The New Order is now available in Germany. I am german and I have bought on steam.

      Probably because it’s not okay to assault people who you disagree with or find unforgivable. Down votes and punching is easy, little kid stuff. Seeing where they are coming from, what they’ve been through, and understanding why they are this way, and helping them see their way out of it. That is the difficult part.

        “People I don’t agree with” and “Nazis” aren’t the same people. I sympathize with people who have lives that lead them down the path to that, but once they’ve committed themselves to Nazism and start saluting in the street, then there’s no more sympathy.

        To be clear, you can come back from a lot of shitty beliefs. I have. But I also didn’t march in white pride parades with swastikas. I’m not talking about run of the mill conservatives.

    Image Transcription: Text and Image:


    THIS IS *NOT* OKAY.

    This sets a dangerous example, and we need to talk about it.

    If you punch a Nazi like this, you’re going to break your wrist. Remember, make contact with the largest two knuckles (index and middle finger) and keep a strong wrist. You want to hurt the Nazi, not yourself!

    Stay safe out there and keep punching Nazis.

    This has been a public service announcement.

    [Two images shown side by side. The first shows a young man in a black shirt standing on a crowded sidewalk, his hand raised above his head in the historical “Nazi salute” with a lightly smug expression. There is a person’s hand holding up their middle finger prominently in his direction visible from the right side of the screen, but everything past their forearm is out of the image frame. In the second image, the same man in the black shirt is shown with his hand at his side, as a second man in an orange shirt is shown in the middle of punching the taller black-shirted man in the jaw. The fist of the man punching is angled slightly upwards at the wrist, so his fist makes contact at the knuckles on his fingers rather than using the flat surface of a typical punch. The image is captured before the man in the black shirt reacts to the punch. The hand holding up a middle finger is still visible in the right of the frame.]

      My parents raised me with unfortunate views, as did the churches they forced me to attend. It was only through life experience that I came to realize they were wrong.

      Violence didn’t help me, it made me feel isolated and more inclined to think that those using violence against me didn’t have rational arguments against my views.

      Violence doesn’t win arguments, and it should be a last resort, using it for instant gratification is a sure strategy to prolong conflict.

    I was once banned from Reddit for correctly pointing out that the medically approved cure for Nazism is one fist, applied directly to the face repeatedly until the afflicted individual stops being a Nazi.

    The medical professional applying this cure can substitute any handy blunt object for their first if so desired.

        I got banned off /r/politics because of an article about a Fox News reporter who was caught lying about the election and inciting viewers to commit revolution (i.e. treason and assassination). I commented that he should stuff it up his ass, and got kicked for “death threats.”

        Mod was probably a powertripping wingnut masquerading as an independent. “Centrists” who coddle and defend the fascists are no less fascist themselves, and if that hurts their feelings then I have some nice horse paste for them to cry into.

      True, but you should not assume that they will. As long as they are a nazi, they need to understand the societal shunning and physical danger cost that goes along with such a disgusting ideology.

        Also, it’s a meme not a nuanced political essay about dealing with nazism. Obviously JUST punching them isn’t goint to work. Or at least not forever.

        You can defeat particular group by force, but unless You deal with bigotry, nationalism and the material conditions that gave rise to it in the first place, the ideology will return in some form or the other

        True, but you should not assume that they will.

        And most importantly, you should never tailor your community around this assumption.

    • I grew up in the bible Belt and spent years watching my friends and family get deeper into the MAGA memes and conspiracies, so take it from someone who poured their heart and soul out trying to convince good people not to believe provably false nonsense when I say this.

      Fuck em. They know it’s all bullshit. They know they can’t actually prove their bullshit. They don’t care. Few might eventually come back, but it’s not worth the emotional toll on you to try and convince them.

      Commies speedrun civilization suicide because the government hoards all the money and let the workers starve.

      Nazis drag out the process because capitalism incentivizes work (until it doesn’t, e.g. LSC) and maximizing suffering for outgroups gets them off, but eventually their anti-intellectual groupthink hits critical mass and they unalive themselves in some colossally stupid fashion while claiming germs aren’t real and that they totally didn’t get scammed out of their life savings because Lord Donald told them to.
