      I was banned from Ukraine and NCD for the incredibly hot take of “War is bad”.

      I was banned from History Porn for showing the video of Tank Man and explaining the context and where the massacre occurred. This is easy enough to look up on wikipedia, there’s NSFL pictures that corroborate as much.

      For political memes, IIRC it was some discussion about To Kill A Mocking Bird, the civil rights movement, and MLK’s perspective on white moderates.

        Funny how we only have your word to go on for all of that. Also funny that multiple people have accused you of dishonesty, but it’s always them and not you.

          You could look them up the posts in question if you genuinely believed I was being dishonest about any of that.

          Hell shit just sort my posts by controversial and check their responses. Liberals tend to accuse anything that doesn’t align with their worldview or paint their team in a glowing light of dishonesty because they almost never encounter anything left of liberalism so it must be a scary foreigner trying to trick them.

        I have had run-ins with one or two mods on this site, and in my experience, the “bad” ones here are worse than on reddit.

        So while I disagree with pretty much everything you’re saying here, I’m not sure I agree with using mod logs in this way.

        However, I’m sure there’s more to each of those stories than just what you said…

          They’re all bannable offenses on those communities; you can see the comment that got me banned from NCD, the Ukraine one was for admitting that more people dying in war, even if they’re Russian was a bad thing, showing sympathy for “the enemy” is against their rules. Go try making a similar comment if you don’t believe me.

          Regarding History porn, I’m not searching the original post, but you can see how furious people get if you repeat what’s right there on wikipedia and in the tank man video and pictures and talk about what came before and after instead of just jerking off over how evil China is. At no point did I deny that a massacre occurred, but that doesn’t matter to them. Does it really strain belief that HistoryPorn’s moderator would respond similarly?
