    the video and interview with jen gennai is disturbing but as others have mentioned it comes from a questionable source. i'd like to see the unedited video of the restaurant conversation including the questions so that there is a little more context than "we won't allow 2016 to happen again"

    I mean, this is what painting people into an unreality corner looks like. Of course they will get so paranoid and whacked out as to be violent at some point. Fun times, and based on 70 years or so of evidence, 45 gives not two F's what will happen to them or law enforcement they attempt to harm.

    I am not posting white nationalist anything and I am not spamming. I made a thread about a worthy topic because another thread was veering this way.

    I will ask you kindly again to cease calling me a white nationalist or inferring that I am one when I am not. I see you are attempting to troll and get under my skin, but it is not nice to lie and falsey label someone when they ask you to stop four times now.

    Please be on the lookout for OP's next thread where he'll use a Flat Earth Society video to critique NASA's budget.

    the problem with this is anyone can come into your forum and say bad things and that can be a pretense to shut down the entire forum, rather than the bad actors

    That is what moderators are for. The moderators in that sub are not doing their jobs, so bye bye sub.

    You have posted content from a white nationalist twice on the board and this thread is based on right-wing propaganda - you are spamming this board with that crap. I am not trolling you - if you post a thread that is so awfully bad and untrue - I have a right to comment. Sounds like you are trying to censor me. How ironic.

    @Sweet Lou 4 2 : Please report what you consider "white nationalist propaganda." Go through and hit the report button on each one (do it ASAP). I'll evaluate it and determine what to do.

    Project Veritas is not white nationalist propaganda. It is a propaganda project though.

    However, if it isn't truly white nationalist propaganda it's time to stop attacking him with that charge constantly.

    Yeah... so this place wouldn't be around if the mods allowed people to post pedo-junk and death threats all over the forum.

    Pretty sure Clutch would shut the D&D down in a nano-second if there was rampant pedo-junk and threats of violence. He would not let that trash ruin this forum.

    Not in this thread but I will report his other posts that are white nationalist talking points or content from white nationalists.

    My point in this thread is that he is spamming the forum with junk propaganda - Project Veritas is a propaganda project.

    that forum has close to a million members, not possible to read it all

    not a chance the same standard is being applied to other subreddits

    It is. Sub reddits are practically quarantined or closed all the time. It's not some uncommon thing, it's really more of a surprise that T_D took longer. No one sees that side of it, they got away with things that smaller subs did not.

    The amount of members is not an excuse to not uphold their own rules also.

    IF a major silicon valley company gets caught with strong evidence showing they are trying to influence an American election in favor of democrats, it will be fascinating to watch the same group of people who hemmed, hawed, denied, overlooked and excused the current President benefiting from the aid of a hostile nation, go absolutely apesh*t over a private American company doing anything remotely similar.

    Good grief, @dachuda86. I can't believe you're posting this crap. Actually, I can't believe that you believe this crap!

    Why do they deserve an exception from the rules? You are always one to say a black kid who didn't freeze 100% deserved to get shot no exceptions.

    And how do you know it's not the same standard being applied to every subreddit. Sounds like conjecture here.

    The Donald's moderators have been in trouble with reddit moderators basically since Trump got elected.

    They've been warned like half a dozen times and have gone through very short temporary bans.

    They were playing chicken with Conde Nast corporate governance trying to bend the clear rules, miscalculated, and drove into a brick wall.

    They also have a severe, severe persecution complex, and whenever they've been warned, they've tried to portray themselves as Jesus on the cross, with reddit as the Pharisees or some such. It's honestly kind of embarasing how much they whine about being mistreated over and over.

    I'm glad I don't have to see their posts in my feed anymore.

    it's definitely conjecture

    The_Donald is the largest and most influential pro-Trump community on the internet. Of course Reddit would love to shut it down if they can find a pretext. They all hate Trump and hate that their platform is used to promote him.

    It's starts with Alex Jones, then The_Donald. As much censorship as they can incrementally get away with. I predict Candace Owens is next on the chopping block, she's too popular and threatening.

    I expect we will soon see any criticism of illegal immigration or radical Islam classified as hate speech and a bannable/censorable offense on these major platforms.

    Let's suppose all this is true. Why do you have a problem with it? It's completely constitutional for companies to police their own platforms and dictate what they allow and don't allow, so what's your libertarian issue with companies exercising their free speech? What if Google wanted to just plaster a "Trump is evil" sign over their entire website and block all conservative websites from their search engine - why should they not be allowed to?

    Everything you just wrote is conjecture and makes no sense. If that subgroup has a million members, I seriously doubt reddit wants to shut it down. This idea that tech companies would rather punish conservatives and push a liberal agenda over making profits is very strange to anyone in the business world. If anything these companies compromise their values and don't follow their terms of service to make money - not the other way around.

    If people are using a channel to promote violence - that is not freedom of speech. It's something very dark and very illegal by the way.
