“I will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza]. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” the man apparently said before setting himself alight and repeatedly shouting “Free Palestine!”

Anyone who still visits reddit, how [deleted] is this story over there?
Very high-vis areas: r/news has a thread that hit 5k comments before it got locked (there’s no pinned comment - I’m guessing they reacted too slowly to justify removing it). It sits around +32k karma. There are several high-level comments providing good historical context in a sympathetic tone. Those comments are recalling the actions of various climate and Vietnam War protestors. r/worldnews is containing the topic to the Israel-Hamas livethread, but it is being mentioned there. r/politics has two posts standing, both at 0 karma.
Very low-vis areas: r/collapse has a weekly discussion thread that has a top-level comment on it showing strong sympathy, and likewise in the responses. It has +118 karma which would generally put it in the top 10 of the weekly top-level comments, even though it has only been posted for about 8 hours. (These threads average about 650 total comments [i.e., all response levels].) So it’s pretty hot, relatively speaking. The sub mods are transparent and it appears from the logs that the chain/topic has zero moderation activity on it so far. The admins keep a close eye on the sub but maybe not that thread.
Thank you for creating the torrent.
What story?
Using the word “genocide” bans you in r/politics now
r/worldnews does not even approve the story to be posted
r/washingtondc locked the post
Wait really? Just using genocide gets you banned in politics? What a bunch of shmeggs. I got banned there years ago because the mods simply went through my post history. I’m still shook with how the narrative and mind of users are tilted towards a very skewed viewpoint.
Some people believe the user base of reddit is diverse, and they’re getting a healthy view of the world. Unbewknowest to them they find themselves dumbfounded when the world isn’t conforming to what they believe is the majority opinion
I can only use one sentence to comment this: when the imposters are sus
So that is what “politically correct” means when we let the far right define it. If it can’t be mentioned, it doesn’t exist.
r/politics mods are horrific. In the mod log (at the bottom of the screen) you can see they delete posts just because of different opinions.

To be fair, that post in particular seems to have been locked because it is a repost. This post is older and has quite a bit of engagement. While a quick search in the popular subs reveals that this story seems to be surpressed there, it is not true for r/TheDeprogram. Even if that sub has some problems, this story is none of them.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thougth that the pic was from the deprogram sub. Thats why I went there and looked it up, because it would be very surprising to see that su censoring something like this.
Edit: It even says r/pics on the top of the screenshot, either I’m blind or I already forgot the layout of stormfront (or both)
