Perhaps a better counter-example would be /r/ChapoTrapHouse, which routinely promotes generalized violence against landlords and police.

Wasn't that subreddit also quarantined a while ago? No idea what its current status is, but when I tried to click-thru a post there a while back it wouldn't let me in.

Edit: the Chapo one is out of quarantine. Apparently there were a bunch of posts soliciting violence towards slaveholders and once the mods removed them they lifted the quarantine.

>bunch of posts soliciting violence towards slaveholders

Slaveholders? What kind of violence?

The memes were about shooting slave owners, both in the American context and others. Similar to the Dave Chapelle skit.

Are they credible threats? The likelihood in the T_D case seems a lot more high.

Why do you believe this to be the case?

Well there was the Charlottesville rally which was stickied to the top of /r/The_Donald

For one thing, Confederate slave owners are no longer among the living.

That's not relevant to anything in this thread. Please stay on topic.

Yes it is. Dont presume to tell me what to do, you tendentious pedant.
