Anyone who still visits reddit, how [deleted] is this story over there?

Edit: I've created a torrent for the video if anyone wants to help seed. His sacrifice in bringing attention to the US-sponsored genocide in Palestine must not be forgotten.

Using the word "genocide" bans you in r/politics now

Wait really? Just using genocide gets you banned in politics? What a bunch of shmeggs. I got banned there years ago because the mods simply went through my post history. I'm still shook with how the narrative and mind of users are tilted towards a very skewed viewpoint.

Some people believe the user base of reddit is diverse, and they're getting a healthy view of the world. Unbewknowest to them they find themselves dumbfounded when the world isn't conforming to what they believe is the majority opinion

r/politics mods are horrific. In the mod log (at the bottom of the screen) you can see they delete posts just because of different opinions.

So that is what "politically correct" means when we let the far right define it. If it can't be mentioned, it doesn't exist.
