    Thank you for this. It’s great to see the anti-Biden propaganda being struck down with facts.

          Maybe if they removed all the propaganda, you’d have a case. Removing only one side’s propaganda and not the other is still being compromised.

          Especially if the propaganda on the side being removed is just a collection of true things, and the propaganda on the side being left up is about half lies.

            Most if not all far-left rhetoric is easily disproven misinformation and propaganda. If they’re removing anything that’s demonstrably false, good for them.

              Sure but they’re not removing far-left rhetoric. They’re removing centrist rhetoric, and leaving up the far-left misinformation and propaganda.

                I’ve yet to see that. Check the mod logs. There’s a lot of misinformation being removed that come from far-lefters.

                Any of the centrist stuff being removed from what I see, is usually because they’re uncivil and being derogatory. Which is hard not to be when arguing with those people.

                Not excusing incivility, but I understand it.

        This is actually the first time it’s been removed – for some reason a bunch of copies of it going back a few days all got nuked at once this morning.

        I actually don’t really hard-disagree with removing it. To me it’s extremely productive to the conversation and I didn’t see the point in having to retype all that stuff out for every thread where the exact same arguments come out, but it is also clearly a repost; maybe it’s better for the mods to just evenly apply all the rules to all the comments instead of trying to play the game of “well I feel this particular way about this particular comment so it can stay / so it has to go.”

        To me, I’m fine just rephrasing if it comes up in the future or linking to it or something. I don’t get the feeling that mods are deliberately removing it specifically because of the viewpoint of it.
