r/libertarian was probably the least moderated sub on Reddit for the longest time. The mods always wanted to keep it as open as possible for everyone to encourage discussion. Commies just kept brigading it and acting like children. They weren’t interested in discussion, they just wanted to push their idiot big government statist ideologies and thus, some moderation had to be done because active users were sick of it.
Tell that to literally any statist subreddit like r/latestagecapitalism or r/socialist that won’t even open up a discussion with anyone and run the subredddit like authoritarians.
There are normal, well adjusted, leftists that have engaged in r/libertarian for years without issue. It’s only become an issue because a bunch of cry baby edge lords wanted to brigade the subreddit and ruin the discussion for all the adults.
I mean, that does not really change anything, does it? It's a perfect example of how a monopoly of force is needed to enforce the regulations required to keep a place for its intended use.
Maybe if you have the mind of a small child and have no problem hiding behind the anonymity of the internet but the real world isn’t anything like Reddit.
lol, yeah, they real world is a lot more messier than a internet message board and you can't even manage to run that without going big government on it.
That's the best part, the endless scribblings about the "latent fascism" of r/libertarian mods that so ominously bubbles to the surface when confronted by le brave podcast revolutionaries, but no mention about their own ban happy tendencies whenever the people they harass follow them back to their faux edgy safe space and post their hogs too seriously.

That was worse than I thought it would be. They even singled out a certain user.

Yeah, a handful of people made joke posts and there was no co-ordinated or coherent brigading that I could see.

"yes, we did it communist revolutionaries, we took down a sub 99.9 percent of people have never heard of. the revolution is almost complete. 😎"

They tried and failed to take down a sub 99.9% of people have never heard of.
They're basically Che Guevara.

Wow, but you can't rinse a shirt with Prince_Kropotkin in it

r/libertarian can be a FBI honeypot. To catch all those pedos.

I'm pretty sure 99% of chapo is teenage white coastal kids in nice suburbs

The actual 'working class' in America are:
a) an Appalachian cousin-fucking hillbilly who would vote for the Republicans if they ran a pair of rusty pliers
b) a black gangbanger from LA who raped multiple women and only voted twice in his life: for Obama and for Prop 8
c) a Midwesterner who has probably already died of a heroin overdose
None of these people post in chapo.

Wait banning people left and right makes you fascist? What does that make /r/ChapoTrapHouse and /r/LateStageCapitalism?
1 CherryKirsche 2018-12-02
It is kind of funny how anarchists or libertarians turn super authocratic when presented with issues in their system though
1 Burnnoticelover 2018-12-02
Hint: it’s because their utopias can only work if everyone follows the rules with no need for incentive.
As soon as they realize they need to actually enforce rules, they’ll break out the T-34s and McNukes.

A wise man once said that every anarchist is just a frustrated dictator.
1 ironicshitpostr 2018-12-02
He wasn't that wise, he ended up dead along with his mistress. Franco was the real big brain
1 Ultrashitposter 2018-12-02
yeah but that's because Ben had to work with Italians, which means he was doomed from the start.

1 CherryKirsche 2018-12-02
Almost like you need a central monopoly of force that enforces the rules.
1 seshfan2 2018-12-02
libertarians finding out their ideology only works if everyone agrees with them has been very satisfying to watch.

libertarians are many things, but they're not anarchists

Last week the sub worked perfectly fine
1 Gtyyler 2018-12-02
Just remove anything off topic and configure the automoderator to reply "Out Out Out!".

Judging by OP's post history he's genuinely mentally ill even for /r/drama's standards so don't be too harsh with him.

It's my god-given right to hate immigrants, regardless of (((your))) policies!
1 GreasyPeter 2018-12-02
I've never seen anyone get banned from r/libertarian who is there in good-faith. Are they banning people for opinions now?
