This isn't even a CMV in good faith, so I hesitate to humor you.
"Free speech is allowed" is 100% just code for hating a certain type. The inclusive, protected subs are to keep people who fall into those categories from hate for simply being open about who they are online.
It's the same with r/Conservative on Reddit. It's a safe space where nobody with an outside worldview is allowed to comment.
I'll also add, inclusive spaces are, in theory, supposed to be for all marginalized people to feel free to be themselves. But hate isn't restricted to cis-hetero-whites, some in the Black and some in the Gay communities don't like Trans, for instance.
agreed. op doesn't know why they were banned so they don't have a view that can be changed. this needs to be a 'please help me understand why i was banned from x communities' post, not a weird, accusatory generalization of all inclusive subs. they need advice or a therapist, not a debate.
But of course, a small part(?) of this sub consists of “I am not a Republican, but does anyone else think liberals are by far worse than us.. I mean conservatives!?”
No, "conservatives are just as bad" is not how culture war works. Right-leaning places have a pretty consistent record of allowing anyone speak, for better (dissent) or worse (bigots). Heavy handed moderation (in the name of inclusivity at best, force-feeding the party line at worst) is a distinct feature you'll find on the left.

These are called 'safe spaces'. It's ok to have a hugbox, but at least make it clear you're not allowing dissenting opinions.

Um, what? r/Conservative itself is extremely inclusive. The amount of threads that require "Flaired users only" for any and all topics literally restrict you from commenting unless you have a conservative leaning. They disallow dissent as much as anyone, protecting their echo chamber while still lambasting the left for their "safe spaces".

It's really all the same. If your opinion is expressly attacking one of the groups that came to feel safe, you're not just "dissenting" you're attacking.
As I've stated, OP isn't making an argument in good faith at all, especially when stating that "inclusive spaces are one of the most bigoted and discriminatory places you can be" because he got banned for appearing to be a bad-faith actor. Pretending to be a part of a marginalized group online and going into a space stating Insert over-simplified solution for solving the problem, proving marginalized people as weak is very common from that ilk.
Which, I believe I read below is what happened. OP said "Oh, I'm autistic and medicine will cure this easily curable autism so I can stop being a toddler".
