I mean, when you ban, censor, isolate, downvote into oblivion, and otherwise browbeat anyone who has an opposing point of view, what do you think you'll be left with?
Rewriting history is absolutely some Stalinist bullshit. Throughout my life, despite all the discussions I've seen about "banning" books from public schools or libraries, no one ever suggested editing them. It was universally understood that whether you like them or not the author's words are what they are and it's not appropriate for someone else to surreptitiously rewrite them.
How did we go from at least understanding that to this sort of 1984 bullshit? And in the span of a couple of years. The left has turned into a fucking cartoon villain and their NPCs are cheering them on.
Most of the dissenting voices have been banned, no wonder reddit only had an echo chamber feeling. I only have a lurker account, I don't do reddit anymore and I am almost certain I am not alone.
It’s worth noting that nearly the entirety of Reddit (where it has come up, so far) is cheering this on…
I know, fuck Reddit, but frankly, that’s kind of scary…
We’re literally at that point now. Fucking insane…

When leftists don't feel any fear, they start radicalizing exponentially. The longer it goes on, the more draconian the response has to be.
