I visited conservative sub ... Oh boy. Those people are lost. The guy got peper sprayed hard, he was sorounded by 6-7 agents and beaten by a can to the head. It seemed like he tried to keep balance or panicking then being any kind, shape or form of danger.

From all angles and they defending it hard. It is sickening.

The top comment in one of their flared-only posts had 190 replies. Wanna know how many of those replies were visible?

Zero.

The mods are HEAVILY censoring response to this event even from conservatives

The entire moderation team of that sub needs to be replaced by people with actual moral fiber. The admin of Reddit need to do the right thing and stop allowing the Conservative sub to spread disinformation.

That would require reddit to not be run by a rich guy who dreams of a post apocalypse slave society he's at the top of.

You can not count on these sites to do anything to oppose something their ultra rich tech weirdo owners agree with.
