Encouraging violence on a forum intended for cat pictures seems pretty radical to me

i'm all for revolution, my best friend is actually a bolshevik, just don't use non-political medium to push some agenda

>the encouragement of violence

Can you link to some examples? If anything my experience is opposite. I saw a highly upvoted post on /r/all denouncing someone who was pro "white genocide".

Is reddit "intended" for cat pictures? It might be the reason that you joined, or the content that you liked, but the default subs[1] cover a wide range of topics, not just cat pictures and memes.

Not only do I not believe that, I'm sure the Bolsheviks had some words about attempting to separate the world into separate "political" and "apolitical" arenas.
