Ever since Spez took over, Reddit have been incredibly heavy-handed when it comes to enforcing their rules against inciting or glorifying violence, even if such a comment is directed towards people that are objectively hated, like nazis, pedophiles and child murderers. To that I’m not even remotely surprised that you got banned.

Even posting that Nazis deserve to be punched in the face can get you a permanent ban from Reddit… You know… the people who over 80 years ago were responsible for gassing 6 million Jews, 6 million Russian POWs and thousands of homosexuals and political dissidents.

Spez has gone so far beyond being a mere cuck. He’s a goddamn cuckasauras.

I miss the early days of the internet when it was still a wild west.

Something like I hate you myg0t 2 or Pico’s School would have gotten the creators cancelled if released in 2025.

What. The. FUCK.

OP hasn’t provided sources, but since this is a good meme and Elon Musk’s Nazi antics are all over the news, I’m willing to let it slide.

Relevant sources (and we’re barely scratching the surface here):

Tildes (a closed garden Reddit alternative) frequently love to reminisce about the days of small forum communities. Maybe we need to bring them back.

He did a second one that seemed far more coordinated in terms of its posture.

That is undeniably a Nazi salute. I’m actually more surprised he didn’t yell “HEIL DONALD” too

Nah, they’d learn Toki Pona, because it’s an amazing interlanguage.

If they think Dollar Store Hitler is going to stand up for small businesses then they’re about to have a rude awakening.

“Dude, you’re getting a Dell Max Pro Premium” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it…

I still remember when XPS was the premiere gaming brand Dell released to compete with the likes of Alienware, only for them to buy Alienware and relegate XPS to a higher budget multimedia catalog.

The names outstayed their welcome, but I cannot applaud them copying Apple’s homework.

I hope LegalEagle takes them to the fucking cleaners and sets a precedent for scumbag companies like these who pull off affiliate hijacking and data harvesting.

I’m inclined to agree and disagree.

Agree in the respect of home security and any kind of corporate mandated security. If you are rich and/or live in a rich neighbourhood, you’ll need all the protection you can get to deter burglars. Also, corporations in particularly egregious industries like health insurance probably deal with threats on a regular basis.

Disagree because I think a big part of why corporate execs aren’t usually targeted is that they keep a relatively low profile outside of their jobs and aren’t typically public facing unlike more household names like Taylor Swift, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicolas Cage, Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Joe Biden, etc. There are probably a lot of senior managers, big corporate execs and millionaires hiding in plain sight.

I’m sure a lot of people from Florida know who their governor is (Ron DeSantis) but not who the CEO of Carnival Corp & plc is (Micky Arison.) Only people who are really invested in that industry in some way would know, which is why figures like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are rare exceptions.

Even the level of security that current and former Presidents of the United States get are not infallible. Donald Trump was almost assassinated twice in this year’s campaign alone.

I have very little sympathy for a CEO who has been responsible for tens of thousands of deaths due to denied health insurance claims.

At the same time, I’m alarmed that we’ve reached this point. Somehow I think Thompson’s assassination is going to be the start of a trend where high profile corporate executives are targeted by disgruntled stakeholders.

The perpetrator made a lot of errors that are probably going to lead to his arrest within the coming hours, that’s if he’s not already fled the country to Indonesia, Moldova, UAE, Laos or any other country that has no extradition treaty with the US.

Now is the time for Europe to rally behind Ukraine. We really should have upped military funding and arms production in preparation for this outcome.

Bernie Sanders reflected on it stating that it was the Democrats failing the working class that won Trump the election, and people in the Democratic Party denounced him for it.

That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.

I’ll wait and see what comes of it. Valve have been singlehandedly responsible for evolving Linux gaming by leaps and bounds, to the point where the only real hurdle right now is anti-cheat compatibility.

Their direct collaboration with Arch is massive for that reason alone

I’m thinking the API protests would have been more effective if y’all just stopped moderating entirely instead of locking down subreddits.

Let the site turn into an absolute cesspool.
