r/the_donald has many many posts advocating for violence against certain groups in clear violation of policy. These posts would stay up for days or weeks. In my opinion quarantining them was basically a slap on the wrist.

>In my opinion quarantining them was basically a slap on the wrist. I mean, I agree they should have been banned from day one basically.. but to say it's a slap on the wrist is odd because absolutely no one has to read any of their trash unless you specifically go there. Most random reddit users probably don't even know of td, let alone would actually go there voluntarily. That being said.. I think it's unconscionable that reddit allows that subreddit to exist.. it's literally a breeding ground for violence and hate thought/speech.

  That is totally false to assert. So basically you're saying to 'ban them from day one' because...you don't like their politics? and no, they are not a 'breeding ground for violence and hate thought/speech' Reminds me of 'wrongthink' and you're advocating for its censor? Censorship is evil, censoring that sub was evil to supress information

        What's the point in actually debating with you? You condone how r/the_donald behaves, so you are beyond help from an internet stranger.

        Well... by first trying to point out a little ignorance coming from your comment. Second, maybe add in some hypocrisy from your comment. Third, it is really not about how a community 'behaves' because that is beside the initial point of you advocating for censorship based on political opinions when you're referencing Reddit. That community does not directly behave in violence, hate, etc. How ridiculous of you to make that assertion. You're likely buying into the bullshit about the excuse Reddit made to censor them to begin with..."Anti police rhetoric" ...it is laughable that you're buying that. End of story: Political Censorship

    There is a lot of difference between “wrongthink” in the 1984 sense and only prohibiting particularly evil ideologies that advocate for violence. These are not subjective view points, violence is universally bad for everyone.

That is mostly false to say. That sub gets bad actors all over it all the time. It is a controversial, political sub. There are many who have been working to remove it for years. They should have never been censored, it was a politically inspired move, and a disgusting one to have made.
