I've dealt with being stupidly sensitive to flavors everyone else likes basically my entire life and you're the first person I've come across to also not like beans in general. I do hate the texture too, but I'm pretty sure that's just by association with me not liking the flavors and if I had liked the flavors I wouldn't have learned to hate the texture.

Nailed it. I am in awe, the phrase "legislation to stop unlawful meddling" is the perfect encapsulation of our political system.
First time seeing this but I'm almost positive that cropping out the comment he's replying to to leave his motive for writing this as a twist at the end makes it funnier.
I mean people have been throwing around bullshit ideas over blame for months now and you can beat around the bush all you want, but average working families' unwillingness to realize this is the unavoidable conclusion here.
Does anyone else not learn usernames? There's me, there's that one person with the awful avatar so I've decided I don't like them, there's like 500 names that I recognize but see as essentially interchangeable, and then there's dirt owl who talks about piss.
Did anyone else immediately look at the comm? I'm surprised this isn't in /c/fakenews.
I'm kind of curious if it's something I've seen before. Is it malarkey?
A user with that mindset has decided to put faith that the moderation team will make good decisions on what they should read. Okay, sure, fine. You want your users to have that faith. But now you are turning comments that annoy you into "why was this comment folded?" discussions. If you fold a comment that people agree with, you're inviting the community to vent about moderation, which I guess you could sensibly handle by just folding those comments too. Problem solved, everyone's happy.
The whole point seems to be that you're desperately searching for some compromise where the moderator can dictate the discussion while avoiding accusations of stifling free speech. But if your comment is the one getting folded, you might not see your free speech as being respected. Why is there a barrier to people seeing my thoughts, but no barrier for others? It's a dream of reducing visibility of opinions you don't like while still being a heroic free speech warrior.
People on forums understand that moderators exist and there are things they can say that will be censored and removed immediately. So you're working with everyone knowing speech is not free and we need to trust moderation will not overstep. A modlog for transparency helps with that. Visibly seeing that mods are managing opinions that don't cross the line is not helpful.
Okay it's quite obviously not a real screenshot but it took a moment to fully convince myself. The Trump part is so believable that I overlooked the other ones being more out there.
