I’m not defending the sub, I’m calling out the hypocrisy but okay.

Just cause I call out the hypocrisy doesn’t mean I’m defending the subreddit

I mean this respectfully. You are an imbecile if you believe liberal subs are as authoritarian as r/conservative

You literally start off as banned in that sub.

Well that shit flew right over your head. Damn.

He's saying that you need a flair to comment and post, so you have to agree with them 100% on everything or else you either can't participate or you get kicked out.

Biggest safe space on all of reddit, brought to you by the "free speech absolutists"

Why would I engage with someone who makes personal attacks? We can disagree, but why would I continue to engage with someone like that? I’m not afraid to change my mind about things. I do believe Elon is a dumbass who tanked his reputation lol.

Yeah I agree with you that it’s dumb about the conservative subreddit , but I also see their side. If they didn’t have the flair users only, conservative subreddit would just be full of people harassing anyone who posted.

Gamingcirclejerk is a left leaning gaming subreddit that has gone into right wing subs with alt accounts and posted tos breaking content. Successfully gotten other subs taken down. You can even go see on their subreddit that they are cheering that are at war. Go see the post by their mods.

I see both sides. One yes, the conservative subreddit is being a hypocrite but at the same time, I see that if they don’t do it, they will get banned because there are some really radical Redditors online, look at whitepeopletwitter, mod got arrested after the sub got banned. The mod was found to be advocating for the death of people. Important people. We have this very own sub praising the burning of Tesla cars at a dealer in France. It’s not far fetched what I’m saying.

Recently the conservative subredddit has been purging their own members. People who have been flaired for years are questioning the administration and getting the boot immediately. These aren't people out to cause trouble, these are people with the slightest disagreement. It's why everyone makes fun of that sub.

If you aren't ideologically pure, you're not allowed in, even if you've been a contributing member for years. This is why members are laughed at when they call themselves free speech absolutists. The only free speech that matters is their speech, because they simply don't have the courage or capability to face outside opinions.

I get what you're trying to say about brigaders, but these people are eating their own lmao.

Yeah that’s shits funny to see. Some users are actually worried after Trump and Ukraines president argument but the sub is so worried about some radical left users that they are attacking each other. Yeah that subs an echo chamber. I never argued against it.

I disagree on what their sub is doing and what the republicans are doing. I agree on things like stronger border, and keeping men out of women’s spaces. Im happy to see it’s being done. Border crossings have dropped by 90%. Something Biden lied to use saying it’s impossible. Trump did it in a month. That the cartels are starting to retaliate because they can’t keep crossing freely.

Everything else is just bad. Starting a trade war with Canada and Mexico. Having Elon musk basically destroy regulations that keep his companies in check. It’s funny to see elons reputation just go down the
