Almost every forum is heavily moderated on the Internet, pushing it to look like everyone supports the same thing.
/Antiwork on Reddit, for instance, bans anyone that supports Capitalism. Is it any surprise that you only see a hatred for all businesses and communist ideas promoted there?
This is why we are seeing more violence and radical behavior.
I demand to be able to share porn on HackerNews. Moderators who delete my content are censoring me and contributing to the increase in violence and radical behavior! This is the America and here we have the Freedom Of Speech! That means I can post whatever I want wherever I want and anyone who censors me is stealing my freedoms and increasing radicalization!

I suppose you are fine with the religious right deciding what books kids should learn in school? You would be the first person to complain about it. How about we ban anyone that says something negative about president Trump?
Squashing any opposing political views is dangerous in a country that claims to to have Democratic elections and freedoms. It amounts to election interference on a massive scale.
To be honest, I see so many people that have your attitude, I have no issue with someone in power censoring any opposing views to the government, just so you get a taste of your own medicine.
Nope. My position is entirely consistent. Platforms don't have to host content they do not agree with. Any more weak ass "gotcha" questions up your sleeve?
"What do you propose to keep topical forums on topic? There's plenty of forums where pure capitalist sentiment is allowed or encouraged."
/r/antiwork is just an example. Much more general forums are moderated, without the average user knowing the difference. The end result is election interference (like when Google de-platforms and removes search results for candidates it doesn't like) and big tech shaping politics and general opinions, on a massive scale.
Until this practice stops, I have no problem banning Fact checkers and content moderators from the country.

Sure, r/antiwork is that way, keeps it on topic, doesn't it?
What do you propose to keep topical forums on topic? There's plenty of forums where pure capitalist sentiment is allowed or encouraged.
