SocraticGadfly: Another ban at another Nazi subreddit

Another ban at another Nazi subreddit

That would be r/Texas, which welcomes libruls (sic) of the BlueAnon type, tolerates MAGAts, but doesn't like lefists who call a librul a librul.

And, contra the lying ban message, I am a leftist. And you the mods are still libruls. I wonder if I triggered two different mods, too. Showing up one message newer in my email, though time-stamped to the same minute, I also got a 28-day mute suspension notice. Maybe my doing a Stephen A. type troll on the Cowboys for the second time triggered another mod for another reason?

Here's my comment:

Hi, Raven I'm a leftist (as in non-duopoly leftist) who sees more concern about Trump 2.0 than Trump 1.0 but still believes a lot of librul (sic) panic attacks are overstated. And, I'm not alone. Non-leftists of note like Ryan Grim and Ken White, aka Popehat, have had broadly similar takes. (I'll take any downvotes.)

And, yes, I am a leftist, contra the Anon Y. Mouse coward(s) behind the "mod team." Maybe individual mods are hidden now that I'm banned, but I doubt that.

The chuds obviously think any call-out of the sainted Democrat Party and BlueMAGA thinking can only be done by MAGAts. Cue up yet another crappy election cycle in 2026 and 2028, if this thinking is very pervasive.

In a related matter, I was already planning some sort of piece about how more and more subreddits are banning Shitter links, and I will eventually follow through.

Meanwhile, the "Nazi-hunters" within the BlueMAGA world inside and outside of Reddit? Many of them have, per the Dissident, per Mark Ames, Yasha Levine, Ivan Katchanovski and others on Shitter, etc., long tolerated Ukrainian fascism. It's been at least since the semi-coup (still can't see it as a full coup) at the Maidan in 2014, per that Dissident link. And, we haven't even talked about the BlueAnon supporters of Kamala is a Zionist Cop supporting the fascists in Israel. And yes, per Mondoweiss and many others, they are; as it told Elmo, you can be both a Zionist and a fascist.

At the same time, the ever-greater number of ads at Reddit make it less and less interesting.
