I'm more of a lurker and when I write anything it tends to be thoughtful and well sourced but a good 25% of my posts were taken off the site without any notification. How well are you faring?

    lol r/politics didn't like it when I said "Pete-o-philes".

    Other hits include:

    Honestly and politely engaging with someone who said "I'm a republican and voting for Biden if he wins the primary."

    Giving a link to Capital at marxists.org.

    Implying that an article about "white anarchist infiltrators" at BLM protests had less than admirable intentions. (Maybe an automod trigger on "outside agitators.")

    Not being reflexively convulsed with hatred at a mention of the GDR. (r/politics thread about a Jacobin article, someone posted a link without comment to a Jacobin article by an East German talking about the anniversary of some left-wing protest movement in the GDR, as a dunk I guess? My bad comment --> "The underlying point that East Germans wanted democracy, a free press, the end of the Stasi, better consumer goods, etc.—but weren’t asking for West German capitalists to buy up the entire country, close all the public services, close all the day cares, and fire all the female workers—is probably worth remembering. Less than 40% of East Germans see unification as a success.")

    National debt doesn't work like a person's debt might. China can't just show up and demand the the US pays it off. Even if they could they wouldn't want to because US debt stabilizes the Yuan. There's a pretty good article in Forbes about it here.

    I wonder why r/politics doesn't want to promote a narrative that doesn't demonize China? :thinkin-lenin:

    lmao some of mine

    in troll x chromosomes -

    biden was also against abortion rights for 76 straight years :/ Highly doubt he's gonna save abortion rights somehow. Especially since he lies so much he got kicked out of one of one his previous presidential runs for plagiarism.

    in politics (re: tara reade being pro-bernie and anti-biden)

    yeah, rooting for someone other than your rapist to take political office sure is disgusting! reminder she originally supported Warren and Marianne. Bernie is simply the last non-rapist running

    i got banned from politics from after i started posting about tara reade. Never forget how much they threw sexual assault victims under the bus.
