Reddit Bans Far-Right Groups Altright and Alternativeright (theguardian.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Social media site Reddit has banned two of the largest far-right "subreddits" groups it hosts, altright and alternativeright. The subreddits have been used in the organization of America's resurgent neofascist movement but the final straw for Reddit was the two groups' participation in what is known as "doxing": sharing private personal information without permission as a form of online harassment. The subreddits were specifically banned for breaking Reddit's content policy, according to a message posted by the site admins, "specifically, the proliferation of personal and confidential information." Reddit did not make it explicit which content infringed its rules, but it is believed to be attempts to dox the protestor who punched a white nationalist during a TV interview at Donald Trump's inauguration. Speaking to the Daily Beast, one Reddit moderator claimed that the ban was instead a result of its "record monthly traffic" (Reddit moderators, like the creators of individual subreddits, are all volunteers with no official relationship to the site's staff). "It's clear that Reddit banned us because we were becoming very popular and spreading inconvenient truths about who's ruining our country and robbing our children of a future," the moderator said.
They would fit right in here; anyone who is more liberal than Genghis Khan is generally chased out as a goddamned commie here. There's plenty of space and bandwidth in this site, considering how little traffic it takes now compared to what it used to...

It is always right to punch a Nazi. It always has been and it always will be.
You are so concerned about some hateful shit of a girl getting pepper sprayed... where were you when peaceful protesters on college campuses were getting hosed down with pepper spray by an agent of the state for a simple sit in?
And here you are saying Anit-fascist like its a fucking bad thing.... you are supposed to be anti-fascist... thats like, the ideal we should be striving towards as a species.

Progressive orthodoxy? Wait, I think you are referring to "common sense", right?
It's the kind of ideology the rest of the free, developed world applies. But yes, it has gotten under the weather in some conservative circles of the US lately.
The guy is a serial outer of trans women. At previous tasks he has held up photos of women attending those colleges, repeated their names and mocked them for being trans.
What the hell are you even on about? What is a "serial outer of trans women"? What do you even mean?
It sounds like you're upset that he calls trans people by their true genders. Or, in other words, you hate it when people tell the truth. Which is a common theme on the left. These groups were banned because they were focused on the truth, no matter how unpopular it may be. They were focused on accepting statistics and objective facts, no matter how "racist" and "sexist" they may be. And the left can't handle it, so they got them banned.
"Trans" isn't a thing. I don't care how much some guy with a tiny dick "wishes he was a woman" he's still a man with a tiny dick. That's reality. That's truth. No matter how much you may wish to deny it.
You don't have to be a card-carrying member of the Nazi party to espouse their ideals. Bannon is at the top of government, probably with more real power than trump, and he is clearly a white supremacist. I don't know that he would build gas chambers but he'd surely eject everyone who doesn't meet his Aryan standards if he could. And he's pretty damned close to being able to do it.
