That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Far left: everyone should die.
Far right: everyone should die.
FIFY.
Show me any mainstream proof of your characterization of the far left viewpoint. At all.
Stalin and Mao were pretty mainstream.
Ok, two authoritarian leaders the modern left finds pretty abhorrent and regularly repudiates. You might as well say that Lincoln represents the modern right if you're going that way.
You know what I meant. A modern, mainstream leftist—think Bernie or AOC, or leftwards—calling for mass murder or policies that would plainly result in mass murder.
Also, people forget that there is a left right axis, and a vertical Authoritarian/Anarchy axis.
Authoritarian thought is not left or right biased.
Indeed, but that's step two after the other person realizes that they're just saying "lol boths sidez samesies" with no basis for that opinion except enlightened centrism. (So never)
I mean Biden supports Israeli genocide... Or is he a conservative these days? Can't keep up with imaginary American bullshit.
Non sequiturs are not answers to the question I asked. Biden is not left of Bernie or AOC.
You're like this meme where lefties enemy number one is another lefty (: Everyone is wrong but you. Of course.
Who said that? I asked you to explain your position. I never said anyone was bad.
You in a previous comment.
Prove it. But first, answer my question. Trying to divert the conversation won't disguise the fact that you're making false equivalences based upon nothing.
Prove what? You're talking bull shit and just wiggling your way around, lol. Grow up.
Prove...anything, honestly. Prove that I called anyone bad (I didn't, in any comment). Prove that there are mainstream leftists currently advocating for mass murder. Prove that you're not just making up everything you're saying based on "feels." Grow up? I'm not the one pretending that my opinions are more important than the facts.
You're constantly contradicting yourself and shifting the goalposts. Grow up.
How can I have contradicted myself when I haven't made a single assertion? I've literally only been asking you to explain your statement.
Read the thread.
Yeah, I have been. That's why I'm saying what I'm saying.
Do you think I'm someone else?
Read the thread.
Bro, obviously I have no idea what you're talking about. So either give me a link or shut up in an acknowledgement that you're trying to get me to admit something and you actually have no argument.
And this is how politicians manage to confuse people by conflating politics with economics, which are two different scales. You can be an economic leftist (say by supporting health care) without being an authoritarian. Same with the right.
Sure. LOL..
