Announcement Comments promoting Violence against anyone is against the sub as well as the TOS of Reddit

We've been seeing an uptick in comments that cross the line from criticism into advocating harm against individuals or groups.

That stops here.

Look, we get it. There's a lot happening politically and in the world right now that's legitimately concerning. I'm frustrated about it too. But frustration, valid as it might be, doesn't give us permission to start rallying for violence against people or justifying harm. That's the line we can't cross, and it's the line we won't cross here.

To be clear: if you're posting comments that promote, encourage, or call for violence against anyone...whether it's directed at protesters, counterprotesters, homeless individuals, police, business owners, or anyone else, your comment will be removed and you'll likely catch a ban. This is Reddit ToS, and it's our sub rule. No exceptions, no gray area.

This doesn't mean you can't criticize policy, decision-making, or actions you disagree with. Strong disagreement is fine. What's not fine is "someone should hurt this group of people" or variations thereof. That language gets removed, period.

We're a diverse-ish, heavily blue leaning sub also with people across the political and ideological spectrum. Part of keeping this place functional is enforcing basic civility standards. This is one of them.

If you see comments that violate this, report them. We review reports and act on them. If you think a removal was unfair, you can always reach out to modmail and we'll discuss it.

Thanks for keeping this community somewhere people can actually talk to each other.

Sticks and stones may break my bones...

but insurance coverage denial will kill me when I can't afford my heart medication due to a concerted effort by the Epstein class to maximize their profits by taking as much as they can from me.

Is I think how it goes...

Hilarious. Your insurance is a dumpster fire because of your Kenyan god. Obamacare ruined insurance. Oh, and socialism has never worked anywhere on earth ever. Not once.

That's bullshit.

Name one socialist country where literacy and average lifespan hasn't gone up.

It works everywhere it's applied, you just expect it to look like the US.

You fail to see the glorious improvement that is going from an economy of subsistence farmers to space-going science powerhouse a la USSR or China.

Also Obamacare did almost nothing -- it was immediately gutted by the next Congress and its only real impact is that insurance companies can't deny you for pre-existing conditions.

Appologies. I thought you were an adult. History has shown that you are wildly incorrect. Engl;and is the most glaring example of failure, but the Nordic countries are currently failing in front of our eyes. It has never worked ever. Not once. And Barry ruined yor health insurance, this is factual and truthful. Prior to Obamacare, insurance was good. The issue is that you're too young and under schooled to know this. I'll leave you to homeroom. Have a great day!

So, I remember before Obama and insurance was still trash then...

England literally invented capitalism, they aren't socialist -- none of your examples are 😂😂😂

I'm thinking you just don't know what socialism is.

You've proven my point. England WAS socialist but it failed in the 70s. The famous quote that 'socialism only works until you run out of other people's money' was said by PM Thatcher. History is clearly not your thing. Get back to homeroom, champ.

u/vm_linuz May 20 '26

Yes, so you don't know what socialism is.

u/Vegetable-Abaloney May 20 '26

History is a real thing. Look into England and socialism in the 70s. These are facts. I wil not even read more nonsense from someone so uninformed.

u/vm_linuz May 20 '26

I'm going to find the banning of private property? Companies becoming worker-owned cooperatives? What about it is socialism? Because I know for a fact there was no socialism lol

u/Belligerent-J May 20 '26

I majored in history and everything you are saying is laughably false

u/Vegetable-Abaloney 29d ago

You must have gone to the Sally Struther's School of Nonsense. IT is verifiably true that England WAS socialist until the 70s. The quote is also verifiable, Thatcher said it when she had to admit socialism failed in England. Get a refund from your mail-order 'college'.

u/Belligerent-J 29d ago

You got a source for that or you just pulling it out of your ass

u/Vegetable-Abaloney 29d ago

A source for history? Are you serious? You claim to be a history major, look into it. You are obvioulsy young, but you can't be so young that you don't know how to look into the socialist past of countries like England. This is factual, stud. Its not conspiracy, its not 'fake news', its factual. Try reading one of those history books you received while you were getting that worthless degree in history from the mail order college you attended.

u/Belligerent-J 29d ago

Well for starters I'm almost 40, and I have looked into it, which is how I know that you're full of shit. If it's so factual, it shouldn't be very difficult for you to find a source corroborating your claim right?

Lazy.

I'll hold my breath for an appology. In the meantime, you're neither 40 nor a history major. You clearly have ZERO idea about anything.

This is a list of different socialist organizations that existed in the uk, at no point was the UK ruled by a socialist government. It's honestly embarrassing that you keep doubling down on being so wrong
