That the Pro Israel and Pro Palestinian voices can exchange dialogue and share current events and updates on the war and have mutually respectful discussions where both sides are illuminated.

More importantly, a huge war just broke out. This is a politics subforum. It is insane censorship to not have a thread on this subject.

He's saying that nobody was censoring anything, as evidenced by the fact that this thread exists.

What do you think censorship means? Or, what do you think it means to censor someone, or be censored?

Ah okay thank you. His point remains valid as long as this thread and mine and Victor and the more right wing voices are not silenced.

Censorship is the silencing of unpopular opinions.

As an example, Reddit would ban me and my thread if I discussed Race and Intelligence too honestly, or had unfavorable opinions on Trans athletes. I imagine a Pro Putin thread on here would be deleted as well.

These would be examples of censorship, as I understand it.

I have always been transparent to a fault. Perhaps this is why I am so wary of censorship.

Please do not weaponize my transparency against me.
