DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.

Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.

Unrelated……

The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.

What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.

This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.

And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

        Just run a search for “genocide Joe” and look for the people denying that Trump being buddies with Netanyahu would make things worse, claiming Trump wants peace (all he wants is power and PR)

          if it was so easy, you would do it and support your own claims. this is not evidence, it’s hand waving.

              I can’t possibly prove something doesn’t exist. You’re claiming there is evidence that something does exist, it’s on you to provide that evidence.

                I’m not the only person here who remember that crowd.

                What should I prove next, 1+1=2?

                    1. This is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask; I agree with the person you’re talking with, factually, but I have no idea why they are treating it as unreasonable to say “what is the evidence for this thing you are claiming.” They seem to be taking the “do your own research” approach with it, which is bullshit.
                    2. I think moderating a heated conversation you are a part of is also bullshit. You can’t be arguing with someone, tell them to do something in the argument, and then say “failure to follow mod direction” or whatever when they don’t. Or, you can, but it’s bullshit.
                    3. I for myself am happy to provide the examples you’re asking for, because it happened all the time. Below:
                    • https://ponder.cat/comment/2719790 - “The genocide was just as bad under Democrats, you were just a genocide denier when it was your team doing it. In that sense, it’s better that Trump won, because at least liberals acknowledge what’s happening when he does it, rather than downplaying and denying it.”
                    • https://ponder.cat/comment/2695840 - “[Trump] did get the ceasefire done that Joe Biden claimed to have been working on for years. Donald Trump claims to not give a shit about the Palestinians yet got the ceasefire done. Joe “Proud Zionist” Biden claims to care about the plight of the Palestinians yet did less to end their suffering. The point is that Democratic lip service is often worse or equivalent to the Republicans’ more honest cruelty, especially in foreign policy”
                    • https://ponder.cat/post/2203126/2508582 - “Voting for Democrats would not have lead to fewer Gazan lives lost, because the Democrats don’t give a fuck about Gazan lives. Biden was already giving them all the weapons they needed, and Harris made no indication she was going to change course. Harris would have enabled the genocide same as Trump.”

                    That’s with a simple text search; I found 503 results and picked those comments out of the first 21 of them. There were quite a lot. Some from pretty high-profile people, it wasn’t all just random idiots. But yes it was an extremely common point of view.

                  then it should be easy to find your evidence.
