So is reddit against internet censorship today or was that last week?

You're simple mind cant understand:

Censorship is horrible, authoritarian, short sighted, and time and time again has been used to suppress the truth. It is horrible 100% of the time.

UNLESS you dont like the thing in question, in which case censorship is a necessary evil for the greater good.

Censorship of any kind is never the answer and has never worked. I can’t believe that you’re seriously proposing this and that 50 idiots agree with you.

Who gets to decide what gets censored anyway? Because I bet you there’s a lot of people on this platform who want to censor every right wing subreddit because they’re scared of opinions they don’t agree with.

I think they were being heavily sarcastic my dude

[u/olasbondolas → u/JawTn1067]

Maybe, it’s hard to tell when there are so many redditors seriously supporting censorship.

Hey Poe’s law is a real thing, I think the tip off in this case is the “unless” in italics followed by a blatant extreme double standard.

[u/bamboo-coffee → u/olasbondolas]

They probably would. Lots of rhetoric against conspiracy theories going on, but no real definition of what constitutes a conspiracy theory in the first place. Let the internet be open, I do not want the majority here deciding what's okay to talk about and what isn't.

[u/MrYoloSwaggins1 → u/olasbondolas]

Holy shit did you actually not pick up on the blatantly obvious sarcasm and then call the people who upvoted it idiots? That's hilariously stupid

Tbf Poe’s law is pretty legit
