Political post in /r/science stirs up a lot of controversy, but do the mods remove it because it has nothing to do with actual science? Nope, they just nuke most of the comments.

I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.

You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

In my utopia, ACAB but also they own all weapons ๐Ÿ’… ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ

I love how they leave up comments they agree with.

I love how they do it without financial compensation and at a negative cost to their own time and mental well-being

I'm starting to have doubts about 'they do it for free' being true.

Most nuked threads seem to push a specific agenda.

They don't even need to be paid. Think about all the autism pizzashill posts for free. This involves way less work than that.

These mayo super jannies only remove the problematic comments bc yall๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟcanโ€™t๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟever๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟbehave๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ

why cant we just have some reasonable gun regulations that stops literal children from being murdered?

That ship has sailed right after "Santa Maria".

how hard is it to just stop touching kids

i dunno maybe ask drumpf the kiddie toucher. you know he flew on the epstein rape plane right?

sounds like cope

also that plane flew in to a tower 18 years ago today so whatever

We need to make kids unsexy again

What is a non literal child?

Redditors.

We already have reasonable gun regulations.

Every "study" they publish there is nothing but agenda post.

Nuke 'em all is right move.

That entire sub is "surveys that affirm my world view"

[removed]

Lol since when are surveys science? Theyโ€™re not even trying to draw any woke conclusions like โ€œgun owners lack empathyโ€

They act as if social โ€œsciencesโ€ are real, actual, science.

r/science lately has been nothing but

"Republicans bad say this big brain study n=200

IQ is a bad metric because it can't completely measure cognition

EQ is unquestionably valid

Intelligence should only be measured by skull circumference

Well when Republicans are objectively bad ofc the studies will back that up. Keep coping and seething, amirite lmao

100% of jaredschaffer27s agree that universal gun background checks are for pussies and weirdos.

How many of these retards think you can just show up to a gun shop and be like one murder machine please. I also like how they all conveniently leave out the fact that most gun crime is committed by illegally obtained firearms anyway.

If I were a conspiracy theorist id ask myself why the obsession from our government and their bootlickers to want to make law abiding citizens jump through even more hopes with what's clearly the end goal of making them illegal particularly the long rifle despite the fact more people are killed by hammers. All the while they completely ignore tyrone's drive by with his stolen high point

Can I buy two murder machines tho?

Sure can, you can either go to a bad neighborhood and ask the basket ball American on the street corner about the highpoint special or to to a shop and get an fbi background check through your local ffl

At the same time? Not a good idea. Spread out your purchases or the ATF will start looking into you.

When they learned about reality from entertainment that's the obvious way.
