It's blatant fascism in its first stages.
I have witnessed that people throw the word "fascism" out as a thought-terminating cliché in year 2024 and year 2025, to end conversation and stop thinking.
fascism in its first stages.
Bill Moyers, who used to be a director in the White House, and has direct education from Joseph Campbell when he filmed the Power of Myth series with George Lucas back in 1986 and 1987 already declared it was first stage back in March 2016. https://billmoyers.com/story/trump-the-american-fascist/
We are so far beyond first-stage in April 2025. But beyond that, what concerns me in my message you replied to is that it people don't recognize that all dehumanization / mass dehumanization is bad. People seem to get very fixated on single topics like gender and "red states" vs "blue states" and not goodness itself. People are flocking to values of "Hate Harder", and I don't care if they are MAGA or against MAGA, support Trump or hate Donald Trump, if they are preaching dehumanization and "hate harder" then they are adding fuel to the bonfire of humanism.
There is no distinction to me. It's automated by the creators of the server-side software. Just because they allow front-page topics to be infiltrated by hostile agents doesn't free them of responsibility. Especially how they (the profiting owners) have programmed their site code to allow silent manipulative removal of content without notifying the author. I keep saying this to you, but you seem to have no comprehension of ethics or morality with the public / end-users.
End-users are not educated on media ecology, the owners have the money to study media ecology and mass mind psychology.
Again, your active measures against someone taking on the owners of Reddit, Kremlin information warfare, the Donald Trump White House, Elon Musk xAI / Twitter values society, etc.
Hate-values. You really need to study morality and learn goodness from bad. All hate is bad. You dehumanize people you disagree with and promote mass dehumanization via Reddit cloud computing systems.
I didn't put me in the egomania bubble called the United States of America in April 2025. It is very sick and very sad. I'm trying to rescue people from this nightmare, as nothing has been able to stop people going more and more into fiction meme patterns in their mind, the 5,000 alternate reality screen games created by Russia and deployed on Reddit March 2013 onward.
Your mission of consuming my time to defend the owners of Reddit is accomplished. You sure want to "Stand Up For the Big Guys" who profit off an entire Internet population stuck in Eternal September level of understanding of media ecology.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995
