Of course you can ask, while I don't speak for this sub or even the subreddit.
Even if you disagree, at least understand that what you posted was seen by the mods as either inciting violence, or very likely to be interpreted as such by the powers that be. That's not really a far-left issue.
The issue is not milk, the ok signal, or even anything that is ideological. There are two things that are real trouble. One is perceived inciting of violence. The other is going too far off the cliff on race. Those are the two things that can bring down this forum, so you can't really play games with it.
Once again, would you ban a photo of a person doing a revolutionary war reenactment and wearing a redcoat? My meme was no different other than the completely unhinged take you and DoM put on it. Or do you forget where you said you would ban a meme of someone dressed as hitler for “inciting violence”. There is just as much onus on milk and the ok sign for being “symbols of violence” as a meme of a redcoat.
People aren't actually shot during re-enactments.
Can you at least try to understand the different perspective? People are not out to get you, and if I disagreed with DoM, I'd straight up tell you (or at least not defend the action). The logic is as follows: by analogizing the FBI to the Redcoats, and since it is a commonplace in American culture that shooting at the Redcoats was justified, it follows from that that shooting at the FBI is justified.
Maybe an analogy would help you. Scum like David Frum has analogized Trump and his actions to Charles I, who was judicially murdered, and the Rosenbergs, who were executed. I think that is an incitement to violence, although obviously, the power centers did not get mad about that.
Now can you see how this could create trouble? If DoM sees it like this, and I see it like this, don't you think the powers that be may also?
If I said that, then either I forgot, or your presentation here is different. Because I don't see how that alone would be inciting violence.
And no one was shot over a redcoat meme either, magically the Donald had no issue with it.
You and DoM were fully unhinged, there is no “perspective” that makes it not completely insane. Both of your arguments were “Americans once killed redcoats so any likeness of redcoats or comparison is inciting violence” which is where the Hitler comparison came from. That was your take from a clear meme about why we have the fourth amendment over illegal search and seizure.
Then why this specific comparison?
Did the thought not cross your mind that it may be tkaen like this?
C'mon man. The point was not that people were shot over a 'redcoat meme', it was that you analogized the FBI to the Redcoats, and thereby justifying treating them the same way.
Yeah, whatever. If you don't want to understand things, that's fine too.
