What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Reddit is full of violent content that the admins and moderators overlook. /r/combatfootage and /r/ukrainerussiareport/ are full people cracking jokes about violent deaths and advocating for violence. It is telling that only certain kinds of violent content are banned.

  While the comments are often dehumanizing, which I despise, the footage is invaluable for people who want a whiff of what (this) war is like. The chaos, the fog of war, the terror, the delivery of death being celebrated just as often as it is performed with casual detachment.

  Those subs are supposed to be for documenting combat, and that calls for violence aren't being removed is a further indictment of Reddit and its users. Why isn't Reddit held to the standard of Facebook or YouTube? It's long past time that it was.

If threats of violence against immoral or illegal systems becomes widespread and has to be censored, the system may be the problem, not the people.

  Or the people constitute an uneducated low-IQ mob and shouldn't be allowed to parade and celebrate their violent ignorance.
