> OP drew a warning here because of his longstanding habit of making the same types of hijacks and digressions compulsively. That’s a moddable pattern. But in this case, independent of that pattern, this warning is off base. White nationalism and birth rate anxiety are inseparable topics in the current moment.

I agree with you maybe 90% on this. But the specifics of the OP’s post are still a bit problematic.

> Keep in mind that a lot of these people (nationally, not here) are white nationalists who talk about “white genocide” and would _most definitely_ counter the rising birth rate with a very high death rate among “undesirables” if they could.

If he’d kept it to just the first half of the post – “these people are white nationalists” – it would have been a useful contribution. But the latter half about “most definitely killing all the undesirables” is the hyperbole he is well known for, and it can and does sidetrack threads.

I can support moderation for the “killing them all part.” But the mention of white nationalism should not have been moderated, and I hope the mods reconsider that.
