.ml is explicitly a restricted speech instance. It's a safe space for Tankies, not dissimilar to Nazi safe spaces. They don't and will never care about your good intended arguments.
- Come on.
  Fuck RT! Fuck Russia!
  Is hardly a "good intentioned argument".
  
  I didn't say this particular case was a good intentioned argument. You're not allowed to say fuck RT or fuck Russia on .ml is the main point.
  
  Or anything that might insinuate that you disagree with Dear Leader.
  
  Who cares?
  No, seriously — we have upvotes and downvotes for a reason. Why are people not allowed to simply downvote the 'Fuck RT! Fuck Russia!' comments and move on?
  Actually, for someone arguing in good faith, wouldn't these be perfect chances to provide examples of how 'Fuck RT! Fuck Russia!' is actually an incorrect perspective?
  The answer is yes, it would be the perfect chance. The reason they choose to ban instead is because they're cultivating an echo chamber.
  
  It's the correct response to state sponsored propaganda.
  
  Ok, then why do these people not rally against BBC then?
  
  You know what the difference is, one is much more free to publish what they want and is actually vetted by other news agencies -_-
  You're making a fool of yourself.
  
  You know why.
