I made 1 comment ever on r/trump which I am not even subbed to…

Imagine being brandished an enemy over a misunderstanding, and banned from an entire community. Especially via an automated method they admit isnt perfect? Now I must appeal? For what again? – That is Kill All Others mentality, and I am labeled the Other.

For context: I try to be a centrist, a proper one with proper devil’s advocation. I usually end up voting Democrat, but I like moderate Democrats and progressive Republicans. (But to be fair, even r/centrist over on Reddit is very… American-Left ideology). I think case-by-case application of ideologies to scenarios is best.

Here is them muting me for my shocked reply:

EDIT: Just wanted to specify with the above picture, I do not believe any side is correct, hence my use of quotation marks. Choosing sides at all, especially in a two-party system, is a mess and we have been warned this many times by many different successful leaders/philosophers. Even our founding fathers warned this… I would say this to an alt-right just as quickly as I do the alt-left.

    You’re not getting it.

    Racial segregation is rooted in legislative and legal process, and that is also the scope of free speech. It does not go beyond that to private communities.

    Even if you hadn’t been snide in your reply, the mods could have taken a look at your comment history, quickly found the uncivil behavior there, and upheld the ban.

    To paraphrase xkcd, free speech doesn’t shield you from consequences. The people listening found you unwelcome, and they are showing you the door.
