It Begins: Reddit Bans r/GasTheKikes

Wow, is that the door of a gas chamber? That's sick, Reddit. Don't you know six million kikes were gassed in such chambers?

It’s summertime and Reddit is turning on the heat.

Following the resignation of Chairman Pao, also known as the Troll Queen, Steve Huffman has taken over as CEO and has vowed to abolish the site’s foundational policy of free speech.

He was not quick to act, but now he has acted. He has gassed r/GasTheKikes, and, in a bizarre gesture offensive to both Jews and anti-Semites alike (and presumably other groups as well), put up a picture of a Nazi gas chamber door with a link to a page about “inciting harm against others.”

Obviously, the name is in jest, and was not really calling for the gassing of kikes. Even so, calling for a genocide is not the same thing, legally or realistically, as calling for the death of an individual or group of individuals (yes, I understand that kikes are technically a “group of individuals,” but still, it’s a different thing – trust me, I’m up on this stuff).

The idea that someone was going to start building gas chambers and gassing kikes because they read this page is clearly ridiculous, yet this is what Huffman wishes you to believe.

Interestingly enough – or not – another subreddit which calls for a genocide in its name – r/KillWhitey – has not been banned. It is almost as though Jews have some type of special privilege that Whites don’t have.

Also interesting is that r/CoonTown still stands. One would think if Huffman was planning on banning this most popular racist subreddit, he would have done it along with the less popular (and more provocatively titled) r/GasTheKikes. Then, he could have easily obfuscated the fact that he is doing this purge to appease SJWs, not because he actually thinks free speech leads to genocide – or, as he puts it, “harm against others.”

Is this the beginning of the end for one of the very last remaining free speech outlets on the internet?

It would appear that way.
