but when I posted a commonly referenced historical photo of Benito Mussolini and his cohorts hanging in Milan in 1945 to emphasize a comment, it got removed as "inappropriate graphic content"? Maybe because I don't have 126,627 posts? Ya' think??

in the Mussolini hanging photos. You don't see piles of freshly gassed Auschwitz victims in the showers. But still the bones are upsetting.

The photo that I posted, as well as photos of "piles of freshly gassed Auschwitz victims in the showers", have been shown countless times in war documentaries on cable, and on broadcast TV. Rank has privilege here and it pisses me off because it wasn't the first time I was censored for something that "long-timers" did regularly. It's analogous to what the "old boy" club in the Democratic Party is doing to younger "upcoming" progressives. And THAT'S why we keep losing...
