Your one-stop hub for remembering why grandma isn't allowed at Thanksgiving anymore.
Curious what the KKK has been up to, or are you just trying to remember why you sent grandma to that nursing home? Welcome to Forwards from Klandma, where you can see what the absolute worst of humanity has been doing now that they've figured out how to use the internet.

This is a satire sub. The purpose of this is to mock racists and the other horrible characters from the so-called "alt-right". Seriously advocating alt-right, fascist, or Nazi beliefs will get you banned. If your "satirical" post or comment ventures into Poe's law it may be subject to removal.
Do not link directly to any YouTube channels advocating Klandma ideologies. That gives people ad revenue. Use a proxy or a mirror. Posts directly linking other subreddits, where there might be brigading, are also discouraged.
General bigotry (including but not limited to: racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, misogyny, antisemitism, antiziganism, and Islamophobia) will not be tolerated and will result in immediate ban. A history of posting in certain subreddits will be factored in when deciding whether or not to ban users.
Links to content where it can be assumed that the OP either created the content, or is sharing the content to spread its message, will be removed. This does not apply to subreddits where the intent is to call out that content.
Submitters should explain and refute the klandma's content they are posting; Platforming has to be done responsibly. This refutation can be posted in a comment in the thread, or in the title, accompanied with link flair. Please be thorough, to equip other users with the knowledge to know why klandma is wrong, and with the rhetorical points to refute them in the wild.

This is because the post seems to have attracted a lot of anti-semites. I mean, I could infer that based on the upvote downvote count of certain replies. I posted a reply explaining how anti-semitism is harmful, and it got downvoted. I also said that the pamphlet is essentially the protocols of the elders of Zion 2.0, and I got downvoted. I mean, seeing this antisemitic content can educate people about anti-semitic beliefs, but it can be a double edged sword, because posting that content can attract neo-nazis. I decided to delete that post.
Has this sub become a victim of irony collapse?
I've been off Reddit for some time, only returning recently. The tone of this sub seems to have changed.
Whereas in the past most content seemed to be of real people who posted outrageous, racist things, now most content seems to have been formed from well known far right/racist/nazi sources and reposted here for upvotes.
There is a fundamental difference between posting something from a mainstream figure or your grandma and spreading the toxic waste from an anonymous twitter bluetick. It's implied in rule 2 of the sub - " Crossposts are allowed from subreddits which are meant to call out bad behavior...but not from subreddits meant to spread bad behavior". It seems like the sub often now falls victim to the satire spiral.
This should not be a place for nominally centrist / leftist people to get their rocks off on racism porn. This is a place to reveal racists through their own message, not magnify the reach of that message by spreading it. If you're someone who posts here often, it might be worth doing some introspection as to your motivarion and how you're spending your time finding content. No judgement, just think of how many otherwise wonderful people are racist and how pernicious, pervasive, and persuasive the ideology of race can be.
Of course, the alternative explanation is that I've been away for too long and become victim to Poe's Law as the sub has developed - but perhaps the view of an informed semi-outsider is useful. Have a great day!
