The post that got me banned for a week was here.don't think that the appeals system on SV or SB is more than a token effort, so I'm not prepared to give them any points for it. The example you give doesn't sound like current politics to me, but I'm not getting the context here.

Some had the wonderful idea that the best way handle controversial issues is not through civil discussion, but getting a bunch of people together, socially engineering them until the majority all support "the correct opinion" and giving them free reign to bully the people who have the "wrong opinions"
And this is just monstorious, and it is monstrous no matter if the "correct opinion" is something you agree with, or disagree with.
Because you are trying to make people more close minded, and intolerant, and thinking that bullying those who disagree with you is something to be proud of, a goal to aspire for.
And I vehemently pointed out the wrongness of that.
I didn't think opposing that would be a political issue. Because it's not about politics at all. It's about not cultivating something that is toxic to thought and reason.
