She’s an elected leader for the unified Maori tribes, a largely ceremonial role whose primary purpose is to protect Maori interests against government overreach.

But go ahead and latch onto the name I guess.

Your black and white view of this is exhausting. There is obviously a difference between making assumptions about a population based on inherent qualities, and making assumptions about a group of people based on all making the same decision. It is not stereotyping to assume that someone posting in a Donald Trump fan group is a fan of Donald Trump.

Now, I certainly wouldn’t approve of infringing on anyone’s actual first amendment rights on this kind of basis, but again, we’re talking about completely private spaces here with absolutely no pretense of free speech. People do also have every right to create whatever exclusionary communities that they want.

So, say I was anti-Trump and I posted there… I would still be misunderstood as an “other” and labeled, banned, etc. Then have to appeal a ban for a judgement incorrectly pre-passed on me.

This is extra weird to me. Isn’t this already the exact scenario you’re claiming? The one that started the whole discussion? You’ve been claiming to be centrist and that you only posted there once, but now you’re throwing it out like it’s some hypothetical? I’ve been trying to assume the best here but it’s getting increasingly difficult to believe you’re anything but a bad actor trying to stir people up.

You are inadvertently supporting the same bases of bias that racial segregation came form.

No, sorry, but that’s pretty dumb. There’s nothing wrong with creating a conversation space that excludes people who make certain choices. That’s the fundamental difference here. You weren’t born into the wrong subreddit, you chose to post there. And a hell of a lot of people that choose to post there aggressively harass anyone questioning law enforcement. It’s a nice way to weed out people who have no interest in good faith contributions, and there’s an easy way to get unbanned for cases just like yours.

That is not in any way the same ‘base of bias’ as excluding people based on their race, gender, nationality, or sexual preferences.

Your entitlement is incredible.

Of course it isn’t immoral to have private discussion groups. That’s an absurd idea. Subreddits are private conversation spaces, not a public service, you aren’t owed access to any of them. Do you have the same emotional reaction to invite only subreddits?

Have you stopped to consider for a moment why that filter might have been established?

If you had responded to the ban like an adult and simply pointed that out in a polite way, I’d wager they would happily drop the ban. It’s an automated process, and they included a helpful link for how to flag a false positive.

But instead you just threw a tantrum and acted like an ass. I would have muted you too.

The majority of the current ‘democrat’ party in the US are Neoliberals. Yeah it’s a right wing ideology, that’s the whole point of recognizing that even the ‘left wing’ here are still primarily conservatives.

I think if someone looks good in photos but not on video, they probably just have a skilled photographer.

Extremist incel males are “stupid” cos they didn’t use grammer cos “feminist thing” or cos they are “stupid” they didn’t use grammer and “they are so masculine”?

Future generations won’t forgive us for a whole lot of very good reasons.

Why on earth would you expect people here to defend stupid ass laws in the US? We have more reason than anyone to fucking hate them, but that doesn’t make your nonsense any less of a pointless strawman and a waste of time to respond too. Enjoy the five minutes you sucked out of life with this absolute waste of bits.

Thanos is complete idiot. Life is the primary resource on which other life relies. Destroying half of all life in the universe is also destroying half the universe’s resources, accomplishing absolutely nothing.
