Nazi forums closed as Reddit purges 'violent content'

Well, I disagree. Reddit is not "purging violent content", it's simply targeting right-wing subreddits.

They're not removing r/fullcommunism or r/latestagecapitalism, for example - which are just as promoting violence as the banned sites. "Violence" is actually just an excuse.

When's the last time a communist drove a car into protestors, or shot a gun into a crowd, or shot up a church, or any of the other acts of violence carried out by far right extremists all the fucking time in the US?

Yet I don't see them purging Islamic subreddits.

And that's the point: being a right wing extremist is a better predictor of violent behaviour than being Muslim.
