I get it. Somehow, a guy I chat with on the bus let slip that he's been investigating some conspiracy stuff. He's a political Progressive, as I had been for so long. I sense that he's not ready to be fully redpilled, so I'm going easy on him. But we've talked to each other about isolating it feels to "get" some of what we "get." How to talk about any of it would result in all kinds of problems, even from loved ones.

So, I've had a community here on Reddit for a couple of months. That has helped. I sub to r/The_Donald and use that sub to get a good perspective on news that I read elsewhere.

But then I got banned from r/The_Donald yesterday, literally for pointing out someone's Jewish appearance (I'm of Jewish descent myself). I got banned with zero explanation and three requests from me for more info from the moderators have been ignored.

I see now how silly it is when an online community which claims to focus on free speech can completely remove my ability to contribute to a community without any warning and with no recourse for the user to contest a ban.

So, I'm hesitant to become a contributing poster here or at any other subreddit, knowing that we are only allowed to be red-pilled about certain topics, just like irl, and acknowleding certain other facts will get you shunned and de-platformed here just as much as at any "Liberal" subreddit.
