here's the whole quote, emphasis mine:
Why would you take this out of context, and what is your issue with the whole quote?
technically we were just expressing our support for US military action in the civil war and the song John Brown's body. Which was an official song of the US army at one point.
We were kicked off for our American patriotism if you think about it
The quote was to establish that the admins personal feelings are involved about the instance.
It is an objective fact that the sub was banned on Reddit for hate speech. The rolling eyes emoji establishes the admins personal feelings on the subject.
Whether the ban is justified or not is irrelevant to my point that SJW does not care to understand what its user base may want.
It's an "objective fact" that support for John Brown's history of fighting slavery and slavers is hate speech?
Way to drop that mask.
Slavers do (and did) deserve to die though, it's not hate speech it's just true
kill all slavers. every last one.
Whether or not the eye roll is justified is in question when the quote is supposed to emblematic of the admin’s opinions of the instance. Some of our staunchest detractors can admin that “kill slave owners” is not hate speech because “slave owner” is not a protected class. Do you think dismissal of this logic is so outlandish that it must be emblematic of support for our instance? Because I don’t see any other reason to include it.
What are their standards for calling someone a slaveowner? Because if they're the types I think they are they would include people who clearly don't belong in that category
the posts were often some variant of "John Brown did nothing wrong," so, actual slave owners
