    Nah, OP doesn’t have a point. Most of these comments are calling out the lack of a point, but you are looking for “objectivity”…?

    I don’t think anyone cares about your “apolitical” point of view that is clearly political. I would post something to r/EnlightenedCentrism, but I don’t know a magazine for that.

        Every single conservative bastion:

        Reddit /r/conservative

        Truth social

        Parlor

        They all are the single most obvious and egregious censors of anyone short of an authoritarian state.

        You will be literally instantly permabanned on any of them for saying things like “the evidence seems to be saying the election wasn’t stolen” or “Trump should have handled the vaccine better” or “if trump is actually guilty, he should be prosecuted”.

        Your comment will very quickly be deleted and you will be permanently banned. There is no “liberal” place that censors and bans people like conservative forums. If you post a news source from a “wrong” (even a politically neutral and objective news outlet like AP or Reuters reporting on anything political) your post will get removed and you will get banned.

        Russia is extremely right wing and they have one of the most aggressive censorships going on right now.

        The right is by far the most egregiously censorious in America, and the hard right and hard left censor just as much as each other.

            There is a HUGE, and I can’t overstate how massive it is, difference between being downvoted for posting something others deem stupid, and having your comment forcefully removed by the forum “party in power” and being banned from the entire forum.

            I am completely unaware of any “liberal” forum that does the latter unless there is a threat of violence, where every. single. conservative forum does the latter constantly, without remorse, and for even the slightest of “infractions” such as questioning the judgement of their idols or god-emperor. Yes, liberal forums will downvote the shit out of people. That is not censorship. Conservatives remove any trace of the comment not by the people, but by the authoritarian “moderators”. That is censorship.

            (The exception being lemmygrad which is openly tankies, but they argue hard that they aren’t liberal)
