This was announced by admin so it's definitely widespread. Turns out they hadn't even considered that someone can edit a post or comment and that you could be banned for upvoting something which, at the time, had no "violent" content.
Seems a lot of people share this view that somehow he's for the little guy, despite quite clearly being for the opposite. It's the same over the pond, there's a paranoia held by many that the government is out to persecute the common people. Very strange on both sides, it's almost Orwell levels of Newspeak.
I've been really enjoying it. I don't know about how it is lore wise but it's been entertaining for me. I have found it confusing with the different timelines and not knowing who is who but overall I think it's been great, at face value at least.
You are assuming that people don't want to be selfish and that everyone wants to live in peace, this is simply not true. People aren't "evil" because they lack knowledge, nor because they are unloved. Meeting evil with love is a great way to get yourself killed or psychologically damaged by someone who enjoys being "evil" and thinks you're an easy target to play with.
I don't need to prove you wrong with examples, you are wrong, it's very well documented and widely understood. If you choose to not believe it and can't be bothered to research it yourself then you have chosen to stay ignorant, and wrong, which is your right.
Maybe do some research about statistical concepts before spouting what sounds good to you. Causation can absolutely 'come' without correlation.
You are a great example of someone not understanding that things are complex so you reach for tabloid explanations because they are comfortable and simple.
Dehumanising people makes it easy to hate and persecute them, and to blame them for a bunch of stuff which isn't their fault. It really is a classic move with a rich history.
I guess he didn't state which country in America is he going to make great again.
