I get the impression that Reddit only shuts down right wing leaning Reddits. I hear that there is plenty of calls for violence on left leaning ones such as late stage capitalism.
Its not false. I see plenty of calls to violence from the left on reddit. Some of it is overt, like calling for summary execution of conservatives and religious officials in the same vein as in many communist revolts. Much of the time it's slightly more subtle, like calling for violence against "Nazis" while simultaneously calling large segments of their political opponents "Nazis".
Just browse a left leaning subreddit like LateStageCapitalism or even just /r/politics and you'll see calls to violence from the left.
This sticky was definitely needed. I've seen among other things, a commenter telling people whose family was killed by the Castro regime that their family deserved to be killed, and others calling for the summary killing of anyone in the top 1% of income.
> and others calling for the summary killing of anyone in the top 1% of income.
It only takes $32,000 a year to be in the top 1% worldwide according to a couple or articles I read. I bet a lot of the people saying that fall into the 1%.
It appears from your down votes that HN doesn't like evidence.
Ok, I meant in a political context, you have deliberately cherry picked non political subs to make your point. Though i guess Pizzagate would probably class as right-wing as it was a conspiracy against Hilary, no?
