Heavy-handed censorship on the Politika PDF

I’m looking for the actual guidelines you guys use to justify mass censorship—specifically when it comes to scrubbing posts from the New York Times forums, especially regarding hot-button issues like my case, Terrorism in Europe.

Someone already pointed out that it would be better to just hand out bans instead of actively promoting a culture of lies and subservience—which, let's be honest, is what you're clearly proud to follow.

So, come on... show me those guidelines.

Guidelines?

Threads concerning terrorism or immigration tend to turn into dumping grounds for random links to current news stories.
More often than not, those posts get nuked and the user gets banned.

In general, if you even dare to comment on these topics, you’ll be labeled an Islamophobe, a racist, a fascist, or some kind of far-right extremist.

There. Those are your opening guidelines.

Man, I remember back like two years ago, the vibe was just different—they were singing in a major key, you know? Now everything feels stuck in minor. I’m not gonna call anyone out specifically—if you know, you know—but I’m just stating facts here.

You really just have to look around at what's happening. It's not about being a doomer or trying to manifest something bad, it's just... the reality.

I hope God helps us out. We're gonna need it.

I actually posted about a similar issue over on the Politics subforum,

You really need to back up your claims with actual evidence and solid arguments. That’s the only way we can properly diagnose the issues within the Politics section.

Politics is the most influential sector in America, so you have to approach it with some level of nuance.

Some of my posts were rightfully deleted, while others definitely shouldn't have been, but hey—that's just how life works.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I honestly can't figure out the line between what's allowed and what isn't.

Look, I don't care nearly as much about my own posts being deleted as I do about these users acting like they're judges over public figures, tossing out primitive insults without any real substance. And those kinds of comments? They don't get deleted? (That was the core of my complaint).

Look, from what I've gathered over the last couple of years, the mods mostly go after posts they think are just "stirring up unnecessary panic."

It’s honestly no surprise—it's just the inevitable result of that brainless liberal mindset where anything that hasn't happened yet doesn't count, and even when it does, they just brush it off as some "isolated incident" that doesn't change the status quo.

So, whenever something actually goes down, they just roll their eyes, mutter about some glitch in our perfect liberal system, scrub any "uncomfortable" posts from those supposed reactionary crazies, and get right back to building our beautiful multicultural Arcadia.

You're basically pushing this idea: https://www.google.com/search?q=matri...rEUK3IDjZ08BM:

But honestly, I think that might be a bit of an overstatement.

Though, hey, maybe it wouldn't hurt to put together a list of all the forbidden theories, data points, and conclusions out there.

Threads about terrorism or immigration have basically turned into places where they just slap a link to some current news story every once in a while.
Usually, the guy who posted it gets banned and the thread gets nuked.

If you dare comment on any of this stuff, you’re immediately labeled an Islamophobe, a racist, a fascist, or some extreme right-winger.

There—those are the "guidelines" to get you started.

Exactly—even trying to look at the actual causes behind terrorism isn't allowed and gets wiped out.
Look, we don't have to agree on the reasons, but this constant deleting of posts is what's actually worrying.

Just that one phrase on the cover of the PDF—"science being politics"—where it says... The oldest trade in the world. It’s indicative.

If you look at that compared to some of those 18th-century American thinkers, I’m thinking it’s basically George Washington.Politics is science—the first and most vital one. It’s really the umbrella science that covers everything else, from other academic disciplines to the arts. That's why you have to keep a close eye on political shifts and events. If practitioners want to actually succeed, they need to study these patterns to figure out which specific tools and methods will actually work to hit their targets."

Man, we’ve really taken a massive step backward in how we talk to each other. Public discourse? It’s basically non-existent now. The world's oldest profession., The name says it all.

And that’s exactly why we need a total revolution in how we handle the PDF policy!

It’s too late to change the rules now. We can't just go back and wipe out what was clearly allowed while leaving everything else untouched. It’s too late for that.

The whole point is to burn through it all—like I said, treating it as a glitch in the system. Just making it look like some random fluke. It’s really just a matter of time before this double-talk becomes the new norm.

Regarding those blatant attacks on American citizens over the last few weeks—honestly, hardly anyone even had the guts to mention it in the papers.

Over here on Politics, there seems to be an entirely different version of reality. Even the establishment types over at PBS managed to put together a segment and a debate regarding the obvious anomaly happening right near Union Station in Washington, D.C. But since apparently this never happened according to certain forums, and every thread or post related to it gets wiped out, I’ll just leave the links right here.

I suppose the moderation team can take comfort in the fact that those party loyalists from small-town outskirts are the true beacons of pluralism—true giants of moderate opinion compared to themselves and this Politics subforum...

In response to the person who started this thread, all I can say is that I tend to avoid this entire subforum because it fosters such widespread hatred and intolerance. And apparently, that's only allowed for a certain class of pigs...🙂

The mod team should probably just take their reward and be proud—they’ve basically become the party-line mouthpieces for political cronies, acting like giants of moderation compared to anyone else on this sub.

To the person who started this thread, I'll just say I stay away from this whole section because it’s nothing but pure hatred and intolerance. And honestly, that kind of behavior is only allowed for a bunch of pigs. 🙂

If my memory serves me right, they only gave actual coverage to that third religious-nationalist attack on women's rights. Everything else was just quietly brushed aside.

Look, maybe I'm wrong, and if so, my bad. But again, that doesn't really have anything to do with the censorship on this board or how crimes are being downplayed. Of course, liberals love to spout nonsense like "a crime is a crime regardless of who does it." We aren't stupid—we know you have to look at the circumstances—but in my view, these rapes are a perfect storm of hatred, sexual impulse, and religious ideology.
