Still, /r/the_politics has the population of a large city, so by that logic, if they have these frequent calls of violence against the cops then it should be easy to point those out, right?
Also, if it's now the case that these cop-violence-inciting comments are hidden everywhere, then why does it matter if /r/politics has them too in the first place?
- leereeves 7y agoI'm not going to spend a whole lot of time on it, but I found a couple fairly easily: > Just do a 180 turn on gun reforms. They’ll take an armed population more seriously. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/c5og99/there_are_people_in_concentration_camps_why_arent/es387hw/ https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/c5og99/there_are_... > It's because protests don't achieve anything. ...

- bduerst 7y agoNone of those are the same thing as what was described. One is describing riots, not calling for them..

- leereeves 7y agoBy that logic, "get a rope" isn't a death threat. Maybe they just want to build a bridge. I think you're doing some motivated reasoning.
- bduerst 7y ago"Get a Rope" is not the same as saying pick up a rifle against cops. Again, that's not the same as just talking about the effects of riots, and at this point I think you have cognitive bias by thinking these things are the same.
- leereeves 7y agoIf someone says "hitting the TV won't accomplish anything, pressing this button on the other hand..." they're suggesting you press that button. And similarly that comment about riots was a suggestion to riot.
