If you traveled back in time and told J. Edgar Hoover that in the future, the American public voluntarily wire-tapped themselves, he would cream his frilly pink panties.

You can openly call for the death penalty for people seeking an abortion, or for the extrajudicial execution of immigrants, but Satan forbid you up vote a cartoon of your favorite green hat wearing Nintendo plumber.

It’s wild. You can go on Reddit and openly discuss why you think Hitler may have been the good guy, but if you up vote some AI art of Luigi, you get banned.

I’ve had two accounts on Reddit, one got permabanned a few months ago, and I deleted the other a few days ago. The first one was my oldest account. Over a decade old, and massive karma. I also had my own sub where I shared my writing, and had a few thousand subscribers.

Back when that incel neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes got doxxed on Twitter, I made a joke saying “as an incel, he should be glad that women know where he lives now in case they want to share a cocktail with him”, with a gif of a Molotov cocktail. Permabanned for “promoting/glorifying violence”. I thought it was funny, but fine. That one is on me.

My other account, which was seven years old and had high karma, got banned from probably half a dozen subs in the past week or so for just mentioning Luigi, or even just up voting posts and comments mentioning him. That was when I decided Reddit was no longer for me.

It’s one thing to ban someone for the kind of joke I made. While it was obviously a joke, it was still an overt glorification of violence. So I get that. But just for up voting a comment mentioning Luigi’s name in a nonviolent context?

FUCK. THAT.

Also keep in mind that the chuds have been making a concerted push to go around Reddit and report every anti-fascist post and comment they can find. Between that and the recent Reddit crackdown against anything Luigi related, the place is quickly turning into StormFront 2.0.

Serendipity in my feed.

The more likely scenario is that Musk is straight up lying about anything tracing back to a Ukrainian IP address because he’s manufacturing consent against Ukraine.

Dude. Reading package labels is the same for me. I end up having to take a picture with my phone, then zooming in.

I have my PC screen size zoomed in to 125%.

Getting old sucks.

So you’re wanting a return to some status quo,

Absolutely not. I have no idea where you got that from.

Without radical change, we’ll experience climate collapse. There’s no way to avoid that by straddling the middle.

Radical change doesn’t always involve burning everything down. Believe it or not, there are more options than “do nothing” and “destroy everything”.

My only permaban on Reddit was making a joke about Nick Fuentes being doxxed. I said “an incel like him should be glad, now the ladies know where to find him if they want to share a cocktail with him”, with a gif of a cartoon Molotov. Inciting/glorifying violence. Ok fine, that one was on me. Still funny though.

I was replying to a comment about how a lot of Leftist subs have been taken over by tankies. I was mentioning the growing accelerationist rhetoric among those same tankies. They don’t want to hear anything about fixing the world we live in, because there’s no glory in that, so all they focus on is armed revolution and collapse. They see Trump and MAGA as a good thing, because it will being about collapse of the American Empire faster.

I will never understand people who think the only way to build a better world is to destroy the one they have.

Yep. I am done with Reddit too. Just deleted my account after this bullshit.

I’m not even a centrist. I’m a full blown Leftist. It’s just a historical fact that religious assholes have spent the last thousands or so years going around the world trying to make everyone as miserable as them. I wasn’t even talking about the average religious person. There are plenty of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and Buddhists who don’t go around trying to make everyone live the same as them. I was specifically talking about the whacko zealots, and I thought that was pretty clear in my comment. Apparently, talking about crazy religious people is a no-no on… [checks notes]… INSANE PEOPLE FACEBOOK.

LUIGI LUIGI LUIGI

So I had an account under a similar name to this one, but it got perma-banned a few months back. Not even Luigi related. Remember when that Nazi incel Nick Fuentes got doxxed? I made a comment that basically said “he should be happy now that women know where he lives so they can come share a cocktail with him”, with a gif of a Molotov cocktail. I thought it was pretty funny. Banned for glorifying/promoting violence. Against a Nazi.

More recently, my other account got perma-banned from r/insanepeoplefacebook for “hate speech” because of this comment:

So yeah. Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez. Free Luigi.
