Got suspended for agreeing that plotting to assassinate the president is “the lesser of two evils” compared with murdering one’s own parents.

All valid points and questions.
It was a news article posted in the r/Wisconsin sub about the kid who killed his parents and plotted to start a violent, extreme right-wing revolution. The headline said something like “Wisconsin teen killed parents and planned on killing the President.” In the first paragraph it said “…he murdered his parents, and planned to do something even more sinister.” There were a lot of posts questioning that sentence, (like, “why is that more sinister?”) and I replied to one of them saying “It isn’t, it is the lesser of two evils.”
That comment got removed (and I think a LOT of others in the thread) and I got a three day suspension for advocating violence. Calling it evil is not advocating for it. It was brought on by an auto-mod, and the appeal was denied a little too quickly for me to believe it was actually seen by a real human, as they claim.
He was going to start a right wing revolution by killing our right wing President?
His belief is that Trump isn’t fascist enough, if you can believe that
Oh lord, I was on that thread in my few hours between bans earlier in the week, yeah that was a weird thread.
I went back to look at it and saw so many missing comments. They didn’t show up as deleted or removed. They were just gone as if they never existed. I get cracking down on encouraging violence. But that wasn’t what they deleted. What they scrubbed was blatantly dishonest to call a violation of that rule.
I believe it, Reddit has been progressively worsening for years (and it wasn’t starting from a good place anyway) the current administration seems to have the site’s admins scrambling to remove evidence that could reflect poorly on them, especially with the 50501 stuff now.
