Well, you are certainly entitled to that opinion even though it's wrong, and I do think banning you for it is also wrong.
There's a big difference between having ideas and taking actions. Ideas cannot be allowed to become illegal. Even disgusting ones.
The correct response to unconscionable ideas is social, not institutional.
That is the point I was making about Twitter, and it applies to Reddit as well. You have to stop that radicalization socially, they need their hands slapped to know that they are wrong. Twitter and Reddit dont just let MAGA go crazy, they give them a safe space to do it in. They block us normal people from telling them they are being crazy. He'll, Reddit let's them throw people out if they don't have Conservative flair (like a checkmark).
The institutions are preventing proper social responses to these hateful people.
