i guess speaking truth is anti-semitism now, we're so fucking doomed with people thinking like you

No...
There is a major difference between truth and anti-Semitism. You can criticize Israel without being an anti-semite. You just can't single out "the Jews" as the source of all the world's problems

yeah, exactly. Your original post is about Ilhan Omar being a racist anti semite and all she did was criticize israel. You're contradicting yourself fella.

What are you doing here then? r/conspiracy is inherently and intentionally an antisemitic sub.

SS: Toe the party line or get banned. Love, r/politics.

Good for them. Too bad the mods here won't follow suit.

Wait what? Which part is the hate speech in your opinion?
5
The part that tells inconvenient truths about his Favorite Team™!
1†
the part where he made baseless accusations against a person and implies that all the people that disagree with his baseless opinion are racists anti-semite and anti americans.

If targeting people that disagree is a hate crime, add yourself to that list.

baby... find someone who cares about your biased judgments.

Shameful. Anyone who supports this sort of censorship is scum.

Look, I don't condone political censorship any more than any other decent person, but that doesn't mean that if I ran a forum that I am somehow obligated to allow reactionary trolls free reign to espouse their nonsense. His post was obviously meant to be provocative in a community where he obviously knew his rhetoric wouldn't be welcome. If I, as an atheist, for example, were to go onto a Christian forum, or any religious forum, and begin acting like a troll, it would be pretty disingenuous of me to then come here and cry about how the authoritarian christians censored me.

So you would make for a shitty mod too. What's your point exactly?
1†
My point is that I have no desire to validate the provocations of trolls. I think that that was made perfectly clear. His "contribution" was not constructive in any way. There are plenty of places he can go to share that sentiment (like here, for example), and that just isn't one of them, which I'm sure he knew going in. Besides, it's r/politics. There's no legitimate reason for anyone to post there. But, hey: hats off to ya for your "tolerance".

So objective, verifiable facts are hate speech now?
Is calling Hitler a Nazi hate speech?

Okay, verify it.

All anyone has to do is listen to the words that come out of her mouth.
I doubt anything would ever change your stance, though. You strike me as the "CNN said so" type.

So listen to them. She's not the enemy. The manipulative media sowing division amoung us is. She's of the people and for the people.

Here's the thing, I did watch the video--in its entirety. The only way one can arrive at the conclusions that you have is to disregard logic altogether. Now, can you back up the claims that you've made about this congressperson?
2†
She isn't antisemitic. Israel is a country, not a person. It has Arab Muslims. How do you know Omar isn't talking about the Muslims in Israel and their lobbies?
We are a Representative democracy with many Muslims. They deserve representation. Also, Israels lobby paid people to support the Muslim ban which is racist. Islamophobia and any other racist ethnic hate is just as serious as antisemitism.

I agree, but this is why you allow those sort of discussions rather than just censoring someone.

I disagree with your comment, but banning someone because you disagree with them is degenerate and pathetic. Not really a conspiracy though, that's just Reddit.

I got banned from the whole of reddit for 3 days for saying I would make a voodoo doll of a poster and rip its legs off before drowning it in feces... they said it was "violent content" ... how the fuck is that violent content? (still made the voodoo doll ofc!)

It's wrong, and r/politics is a liberal hellhole, but this isn't a conspiracy.

I got banned for hate speech by literally replying the same words the lefty said to me: “go drown yourself”
-1†
“go drown yourself”
You told someone to kill themselves and you were deservedly banned for it. What is the problem, exactly?
4†
Probably that another user did the same thing and didn't get banned?
3†
You realize I was repeating his words to mock them? It was not a case of “no, you drown yourself’
Deservedly banned, ffs.
0†
That's racist you hater.
2†
I don't think ridiculous slanders are necessarily hate speech, but you're wrong about everything you asserted there.
how is he wrong?
Omar’s not racist, not an antisemite, not anti American, nor a terrorist sympathizer.
You’re giving an opinion.
And so wasn't the original poster. So what?
