what? reddit was an american "left" "look at how good of a person i am for hating on racists and pedophile" (like congrats?) circlejerk
the racists and fascists were contained in their subreddits and were ignorable

They shouldn't have even had those and they weren't 'contained'

maybe if you were actively looking for them or are very easy on the trigger of calling people racist, yeah they weren't contained I guess

Apathy toward intolerance only allows it to fester. You don't walk past a pile of embers and shrug just because nothing's currently on fire.

im sure banning those communities will end racism

I'm sure installing fire hydrants in cities will end structure fires.

well if you want to compare people to fires be my guest
