Why does it feel like the conservatives are always the ones getting banned on political threads? And when I say banned, I mean everything from temporary suspensions to permanent nukes! It’s like the whole political section has been stripped of all those sharp, right-leaning contributors who actually made reading this site interesting. Just look at what happened to Alex Wilson4—it's the perfect example of how things are going downhill. Honestly, if you want my two cents, the moderators here just can't handle anyone with a right-wing perspective. By constantly cracking down on them, they've turned the entire political landscape on this site into one big, boring, left-wing echo chamber!

To be real, conservatives tend to insult people, troll, and stir the pot more often, which naturally lands them in the crosshairs for a ban. Even now, there are plenty of right-wingers on the politics board sharing their views quite civilly. The issue usually isn't the opinion itself, but how they go about saying it.

As for Viti—trying to find one of his constructive posts is about as likely as finding a sensible policy from the federal government. A total long shot.

As for Vito, finding a constructive post from him is like finding a rational moment from the US government—pretty much impossible.

Everything you wrote is total nonsense!

I used to report about 10 trolling and insulting posts a day
but I never got anything done, while I was the one getting punished!
You and Chuck are leading the charge on that!
You banned me just for calling Jimmy Jazz a jerk
even though before that, I reported at least 10 of his posts
where he calls people livestock, trash, garbage, and scum!

It’s the same deal with Judolina, whom the establishment won't offend
but calling out his blue-collar parents is considered an insult!

I tried starting discussions about this here
but the moderators and admin shut them down
and then closed them without any actual answers!


Take any of my posts from any topic on Politics
then take any other post from that thread, and tell me what's wrong with my contribution to the debate!!
You guys hate any criticism directed at
Tito and the old system, or those currently in power
who are basically Titoists—acting just like the old regime bureaucrats!

Chuck only hates my posts when I'm mocking others, but the second I touch
what he supports or the political party he's close to,
he turns into a straight-up political commissar from the worst days of the old guard!

You don't even have to look far, just check my recent threads here
and compare my posts to what the mods and super-mods write!!

But if you're going to defend yourselves with lies and excuses, there's no point talking!!!

The Left gets to insult, mess around, and belittle everything conservative
and even though I'm not a typical right-winger, I defend them because of this injustice!

When I mocked the right-wingers during the elections, you guys voted for me
but once I started making fun of the past—which is still hanging around, especially underground—
suddenly I'm not your favorite anymore; I'm almost as hated as Pukanic...

I get it, there are orders from above, but I don't get your rudeness and heavy-handedness
especially your excuses based on lies—that kills any desire to engage, especially the good kind!

One thing is certain: Reddit doesn't survive because of its users, so they don't actually care about them!!

I remember the mod Dragan over in Spirituality, a textbook sponsored moderator
and because of that, the whole idea of spirituality went to hell; he's gone now, leaving nothing but a broken PDF!

President of Reddit

Today, political discussions have been stripped of all those great conservative voices who actually made things worth reading. Look at what happened to the president lately—that proves my point. Honestly, the mods here just can't handle certain right-leaning users. Their actions have turned the entire political section of this site into one big, boring, liberal swamp.


People have said this a million times, but nobody even listens.
It only happens if they're being told to do it. They're just doing their jobs.
Getting angry or acting rude in posts doesn't help anything.
Just let them go wherever they want and stick to talking with people who agree with you.
That’s how you avoid getting penalized for snapping at trolls and provocateurs.

We should be adding to our side and having real debates with people who actually care.
It pays off. We find the holes in our own logic,
and we actually make progress toward our goals.

The smartest move? Just put every single enemy on ignore.

Clearly this is on my mind so I'm laying it out here
doing it the best way I know how, though you could probably nail it better!

There's this old saying from Paul Bunyan that goes:

"I just don't fit in." 🙂

To me, you're the king of this Reddit thread. 👍
Even if we don't exactly see eye to eye...

I could easily adapt to anything better and more progressive.
But I can't stand anything regressive or backward.
The stuff that totally fell apart twenty years ago.
Doesn't matter how much they try to fix their image or change their excuses!

Either the laws and rules apply to everyone—at least here on the forum—
or there are no rules, and then it's just whoever's playing favorites wins!
I don't even post on those "conservative" boards
because I'm not about that hive-mind life.
I'm only here because it's worked out so far...

Honestly, I feel like a king myself sometimes,
the kind who got kicked off his throne by some bureaucrats!

Down with the bureaucrats!!
Long live President Vito !!!

BRING BACK DR. VITO !!!

Speaking as a lefty, I’d actually love to see a conservative like Dr. Vito back in the political conversation... his stuff is just genuinely interesting, smart, and funny without being condescending to anyone.

If only there were more posters like him on here.
Even though we couldn't be more different, I'd still love to keep reading posts from someone like our President Vito !!!.

Look, we’ve made this point more than enough times already: we don't allow any kind of advocacy or campaigning on this board here.
We aren't going to go around banning people just because they happen to be liberals, conservatives, or some other political shade of gray; it’s strictly about how you carry yourself and the way you communicate with others.
