Nothing is being censored. There’s a ton of pro-socialist memes and comments here, so don’t cast aspersions where there are none.

All are welcome to post if they remain within the rules. You are posting opinions as facts and that is why your comments were removed.

You’re posturing and grandstanding.

We removed posts/comments that do this regardless of which side they lean toward.

I clearly disagree.

You are posting opinions as facts and that is why your comments were removed.

Can you explain in more detail? Which opinions were postured as facts in a manner that breaks .world's rules, and therefore worthy of removal?

And you are free to disagree. If you want to reword your comments with things like “I think” or “it appears to me as if” then no one would have a problem as this is merely your opinion, and opinions can’t be classified as misinformation and removed- as long as they remain civil.

But again, posturing and grandstanding with accusations that are at best a rearrangement of information is not debate in good faith.

I will not argue this further.

This isn't an argument, I am asking for clarification. I'm not trying to "win." Which statements need an "I think" or "it appears to me as if?" Personally, it looks like I am being directly discriminated against, because other commenters get away with the same phrasing but with pro-Dem messages, I don't see those phrases in every comment yet only few comments get removed, like mine.
