I made this comment:

The executions of top Republicans are a necessity: Nuremberg 2.0. Not enough Confederate officials were punished as traitors.

It was removed and I was given a warning. On a whim I decided that "the system" might actually work so I made a straightforward argument that:

Arguing for Congress to initiate an inquisition as to who has failed the country and when, with the capacity to institute the death penalty, is within legally mandated freedom of speech.

And very quickly, my comment's removal was overturned.

The federal government has been usurped by a minority of White evangelical christians around a nazi-style fascist.

Not enough confederates were put to death. We have to stop making the mistake of failing to hold these people accountable.

Trump raped children.


Frankly I wish I had saved the text I used to submit the appeal. Oh well. It's my reddit cake day and I'm still in favor of burning reddit to the ground but that doesn't mean there isn't work available there for the enterprising shitposter.

The Nuremberg trials weren't enough, either. loads of nazi scientists were recruited by allied nations (operation paperclip) and the first general secretary of NATO was a nazi.

Also, not just republicans, either. Democrats share a lot of the responsibility here. Trump wouldn't have been able to do half of the shit he has done if it wasn't for them.

The entire ruling class must be purged and no one should ever be permitted to take power again.

Just like after the Civil War united states just wants to move past the cause as soon as possible but not actually address why it happened
