    I got hit with the downvotes for just saying “the USSR were allies in WW2”

      Nothing makes them mad like claiming the USSR did most of the heavy lifting against Germany in WW2

    It was removed for being a “feature story” despite being like 5 paragraphs long and being straight to the point, which AFAIK is the opposite of a feature story.

      And according to the site’s blurb - it was written by an investigative journalist who has a wheelhouse in environmental reporting.

    Once again, Reddit is a CIA op and is led by Jessica Ashooh that has worked for the fucking Atlantic Council who conducts mass censorship on US critical stories

    I’ve said this before but I got permabanned on /r/worldnews for simply pointing out that Radio Free Asia is US government funded propaganda and has a history of direct support from the CIA, with proper sources.

    Reddit feels increasingly astroturfed on anything related to foreign countries. Publicfreakout has China videos that portrays the country as falling apart every other day and Worldnews has nothing but the same about Russia. There’s also every other sub that mentions a “bad” country and gets thousands of upvotes while the same for the US gets removed if it manages to get around the same number.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
