Motherfuckers created a rule about how pointing out that overpopulation myths are ecofascistic lobbying is actually “bad faith” somehow so now every post, no matter what it is about, full of “this is why billions must die” bullshit.

There’s 500k subscribers btw.

        normalization

        You’re talking about Reddit, not the New York Times.

              were you surprised to discover that the new york crimes echoes the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on reddit

              they aren’t anything new and have been around since at least the green revolution (in their modern iteration)

                No idea what you’re rambling on about.

                  I gotta ask, are you incapable of reading or are you unwilling to read? Because DivineChaos100 responded to you with two links to NYT articles about this issue, in this comment, which was posted before CarmineCatboy2 asked you to comment on those NYT articles. And yet, you’re here acting as though this didn’t happen. But I can read and I understand what time stamps are, so I know that you have been shown evidence that the NYT believes similar things to the r/Collapse subreddit before this comment where you pretend such a thing never happened.

                  So I’ll repeat CarmineCatboy2’s question to you, and maybe you’ll answer it this time: Were you surprised to discover that the new york crimes echoes the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on reddit?

                    I gotta ask, are you incapable of reading or are you unwilling to read?

                    You’ve missed an option here which is the option I noted: I didn’t understand CarmineCatboy2’s question.

                    which was posted before CarmineCatboy2 asked you to comment on those NYT articles

                    CarmineCatboy2 didn’t ask me to comment on those NYT articles, they mentioned “new york crimes” which only now that I’ve read your comment do I realise is a play on the name “New York Times”.

                    you’re here acting as though this didn’t happen

                    I’m not acting. I didn’t understand what CarmineCatboy2 was going on about and I said as much. If I might be so bold as to offer some unsolicited advice: maybe in future just assume that when someone says they don’t understand what another is saying, they’re doing so because they don’t understand what the other is saying.

                    Were you surprised to discover that the new york crimes echoes the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on reddit?

                    I’ll rephrase this question in order to favour clear communication:

                    Were you surprised to discover that the New York Times echoed the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on Reddit?

                    I made no such discovery, I didn’t look at the New York Times articles that were linked to. Had I discovered that, I would not be surprised.

          Reddit communities with 500k subscribers, for better or for worse, can influence culture at large. Making a post to begin a discussion on the potential dangers of such a large community’s moderation policies is not an unworthy endeavor.

            This doesn’t seem like such a post. Firstly, it doesn’t seem to me like beginning a discussion on a Reddit community’s moderation policies here has any worth. It might have worth if the discussion was begun in the Reddit community itself but I can’t see any worth beginning a discussion here.

            Secondly, this post doesn’t seem like an effort to begin an earnest discussion about potential dangers of moderation policies at all, it seems more like a mindless “ZOMG1!!!1 LOOK AT THE FASCISTS ON REDDIT!!! WERE AMAZING AND THEIR STOOPID!!!”

      Why are you concerned others are concerned? You like the idea of fascists hyping each other up in a 500k subscriber echochamber, is that your thing?

        Why are you concerned others are concerned?

        I would say I was curious, not concerned.

        You like the idea of fascists hyping each other up in a 500k subscriber echochamber, is that your thing?

        No. I’d love it if people were reasonable and rational and didn’t fall into tribal ideological traps like fascism or communism or religion but that’s not the world we live in.
