Hm … well I don’t like the censors at (insert certain newspaper I dislike here). But I don’t argue that they shouldn’t censor (edit their newspaper), I argue that they shouldn’t lie and write so much bullshit.
If I didn’t like the censors at Reddit I would do the same thing. I think that’s normal and healthy.
Well it's crucial that the censors are people who like you. If they didn't like you, you probably wouldn't be such a fan of censorship. That is to say, the only reason you're in favour of censorship on reddit is that you're reasonably that the censors will be people like you, which really is no more than sophisticated tribalism.
