Mods go crazy over one weird trick: change “israel” to “zionists”.

Apparently it’s a bannable offense not to recognize the “state of israel”.

The normalization of colonization and genocide runs deep.

Edit: Yes, I broke and should be banned. I get it. I’m a horrible rule breaker! Downvote me to oblivion… But what many people are missing is why these rules exist and who do they serve. These rules makes things like anti-zionism effectively impossible by imposing imperial norms. That’s the whole point. It should be no surprise that the mod is apparently a zionist and racist. That’s the authoritarian mindset behind “anti-editorializing”. The entire point is promoting the default editorializing of a sick, phony, imperial culture. That’s the worst form of editorializing and propaganda.

    I dont blame that community for having strict rules. It has to be hell to mod.

    I dont think its powertripping to be strict as long as its fair.

    That rule is one that could probably be automated which would be ideal.
