    Lol I got in trouble from 196 users for telling them all to grow the fuck up about the IRA and the British occupation of Ireland but my banning happened because I said China were communist.

      Same. But mine was about the unjust use of atom bombs on Japan. Someone called me a genzedonger even though I never knew anything about it. And well now im here.

        Oooo yeah I’ve had that, not online but in real life. I studied Japanese at uni for a smidge and they had an entire lecture series dedicated to the unjust use of the bomb which was so interesting and eye opening given my political persuasion at the time (neolib). That and anthropology really kick started my journey into progressive thought and eventually socialist theory.

    Surely calls to violence against ANYBODY call for bans on Reddit. Surely the sub is in danger now!

      i have no sources for this info, so i could have made it all up for all you know
      a few years ago a dude made a subreddit for his friends with the well known “rule” to post before leaving, after 5 years the sub got too big to manage and was closed, other people wanted to repeat that experience and so theres r/196 r/691 r/19846 so on and so forth

      Like Potato said. It’s basically a meme subreddit. They used to be just generally Pan-Left but they’ve taken on more sharp definitions: very anti-tankie, very pro horny posting about femboys. They’re obnoxious liberals.
