I got banned on a parallel world sub because a kid was outed by his parents as communist and he was going to be kicked out of the house and I told him to lie and say whatever he needed to until he could support himself.

Now that you know my horrible crime, am I still welcome?

    It sounds like good advice to me. It’s not like you said the parents were right.

    Maybe the kid values his dignity more than being homeless but that’s his choice.

        What is a parallel world sun and how are you contacting members parents about their communism through it exactly?

            Oh. So you gave good advice to a young comrade so he wasnt literally homeless and they banned you?

            I got banned from it because I owned a house with tenants in my basement for a couple years.

            They do be like that.

    You mean you set idealism to side and used rational thought and advise?

    How dare you?

    OK, teasing you a bit. One of the reasons I tended to take this seriously is because when I was little my parents gave sheltered to beaten/tortured nearly to a comma older cousins who were constantly “interrogated” due to having a file in national.security.office as members of a communist party. A good thing to have, such parents, relatives, friends.

    Unlike other choices in life, some can result in a lot of pain, dignity, pride, and more pain.

    Never overplay your hand and put yourself in danger. That’s pretty bog standard advice. I don’t see anything wrong here.

    You did the right thing, Chief. Let the armchair communists seethe.

    Well this is the response I was hoping for, but after being banned for years and hearing all the other banning stories, I truly wasn’t sure.

    Good to be here.
