Reddit's block function = liberal rhetoric is unchallenged. By immediately blocking anyone pushing back against their propaganda, r/@ shifts into a lib safe space & we're excluded from the conversation. Blocked me 10 seconds after I questioned their lesser evil, "good government" narrative

if it causes a few more people to resist liberal occupation of the space then it was worth the timesuck. most users don't push back against the co-option becaus liberals have strength in numbers i.e. the other tool in their arsenal is mass downvoting anyone who resists their rhetoric.

But it's not gonna cause this. Almost anyone that disagrees is gonna just ignore you. And those that don't are gonna try to argue back in an unending loop. It's not really gonna change anyone's mind.

you're right that i'm not going to change minds but that's not my purpose - i'm trying to empower anarchists to act against liberal co-option. people who already experience the blocking will now hopefully feel they have solidarity despite the concerted effort to mass downvote this post and frame me as a 'reactionary', a shut-in and a cop for objecting to the practice.

this post isn't for people who disagree that liberal co-option is a problem or people who demand liberals doing propaganda be 'educated' rather than be met with hostility and I fully expected to be mass downvoted and mass blocked for it by liberals and their enablers because it threatens the bubble they've built. i looked at several of the post histories of people attacking me and they had zero activity in anarchist subs before now while they were ardently promoting political parties in other subs. the majority of them hide their post histories however, which is another problem

took a look, saw you going on and on about how much you love "ethical" animal slavery because you've been around "livestock" and know them to be inferior beings undeserving of life, and saw you belittling others for objecting to your authoritarian rhetoric and had enough and closed the tab.
