There's been a rule on Scribble Hub since long ago (at least about 2 years, probably much more but that's how long I've been aware of it) that politics is a banned topic in threads since it's too volatile.
11. Threads and posts related to religion and politics are banned. The topic is too volatile.

If it's that rule there's issues with, then get Tony to change the rule. As long as the rule is there, complaining about banning threads that talk about politics is silly at best.

Edit: I'm disappointed.

The only way to stop the censorship is to stop the ones reporting for it.
How do we do that? By releasing them into my hoard instead. Yes, I will take care of them.
So that means @Reinaislost is going in next.
Welcome to the hoard, Reinarunarunrun.

You may have noticed that a number of RR threads have been popping up now and then—often related to moderation and censorship—and while that may be the case, I think we need to have good discussion about this platform itself. Indeed, there is a trend going on, something sinister, and the conversation is one that I am afraid we can't escape any longer.

Less than 24 hours ago, a thread was locked for reasons related to politics. If you count similar reasons, throughout the whole year the number has long since reached double digits. Scribble Hub has been censoring people. Scribble Hub has infringed on free speech, you and ours. It has continued to, right in the open and loud, and nobody said anything. Certain ideas and exchanges are silenced, locked before they can come to fruition. What did Jordan Peterson say about free speech?

"Freedom of speech is not just another principle; it is the mechanism by which we keep our psyches and our societies organized, and we have to be unbelievably careful about infringing upon that because we are infringing upon the process by which we keep chaos and order balanced, and if chaos and order go out of balance, then all hell breaks loose, and the situation is not good."

The situation is obviously not good. In this era when the right to ownership is in grave danger, speech is the only thing we truly own; they know that our voices have power, and they are afraid of it. The elites want to control what we can and can't say, and thus by extension control our whole being. And what's worse, members of certain backgrounds, behaviors, and belief structures have been disproportionately affected by the targeting. Not only that, there have been forces alongside, seeking to regulate and conform—you may have noticed them in the comments of those marginalized groups.

So at the end, I am requesting you all to let your voices be heard. Ask Tony. Ask whatever question you have. Don't be afraid. After all, great things can come, despite the small size of the community.

Yes, the entire post is satire, you idiot.

I knew right away she was cooking some satire, but I stayed in the kitchen.

The funny thing about free speech is that I see it never defined as being allowed to say anything regardless of consequence but as only allowing to say what the person that desires free speech wants to hear. Like if you aren't allowed to say something there is no free speech only the desired speech, everybody just wants to her the speech they desire.

Great satire that if my literacy didn't collapse would agree with my point.

I came here for less political talk. People don’t want to discuss politics. Forget about woke, Trump, Biden, Obama, Russia, and the other cases. Can’t we just use this to get away from real life for a little bit? Isn’t that why we are here?

Mate, this a satirical post about Tony's dictatorship.

Let's play along, yeah?

Now, about the revolution... Let's set up a kamikaze plane in the case of emergency.
