> While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate.

Some are more equal than others.

Clearly a false equivalency.

"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread"

That sounds as if you're dismissing the seriousness of anti-white racism.

I think you're wrong to do so. For example, 1036 people were victims of anti-white hate crimes in 2018. There were more anti-white hate crimes than anti-Asian, anti-Hispanic, or anti-native hate crimes.

I am dismissing equating protecting vulnerable minorities with the allegory of George Orwell's Animal farm, where the ruling class was enshrining privileges for itself.

Yes, the "ruling class" of social media is enshrining their privilege to say nasty things about white men and women.

Banning "hate speech" would be less disturbing if it were done fairly, but so much of the content on reddit is hate speech that I'm sure that won't happen.

By adding the caveat "the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority", reddit admits that anti-white racism is a problem on their site, and says they've decided to allow it.

Allowing white hate isn't "protecting vulnerable minorities," it's spreading hate.

The left is currently redefining racism. Hate against Whites is defined as not being racist. And being White is means that you are always racist. I wish, I was kidding.

Sad that this truth has been downvoted.

Better only being downvoted than being Canceled, like so many others are for daring to question the new "truths".

So many people's economic and social lives have already been destroyed.

The silent majority needs to be able to stand up to the authoritarian and vocal minority. The problem is that you can loose your job over questioning them.

You are correct. I found this video quite enlightening, particularly the part starting at 5:58: https://youtu.be/zT_0SULHCJI

The SJW-left is indeed redefining the word 'racism' to fit their own power-based view of the world.

In the US 51% percent of the population are women, so the rule protects men but not women.

It'll bite them in the ass when the trolls start posting white racist content.
