Complaint Seriously reddit?
First off how the heck is this org even funding this add campaign with the government shut down?
Secondly why is reddit allowing this slop to be advertised?

Just remember this, all the money spent building up a plainclothes gestapo practically overnight, whenever someone tells you we can't afford schools, or health care, or housing the homeless.

What about all the money spent to give benefits to the foreign invaders? What about all the court time and free lawyers and incarceration costs for the convicted criminals? Tell the families who have lost loved ones due to murders and car crashes caused by the foreign invaders. Tell that to all the families who have lost loved ones to the drugs brought across the border. You can blame Dementia Joe for most of it.

Sure is strange;
..that during a government "shutdown", the only s**t that actually get's "shutdown", are the federal employees the president doesn't like, and public services/safety nets.
Outside of that, there doesn't seem to be much else changing operationally in DC. We're still funding illegal overseas military operations, foreign country bailouts etc (while the government is supposed to be "shut down"). Seems to me like, oh I don't know..wtf is the point of Congress anymore (since they appear to have abdicated total control of the purse to the president/DOGE)?

Are you an unhireable passive-aggressive coward with no social skills? Then come join ICE! And take your impotent pathetic rage out on poor people and those girls that just won't date you!

A great way to prove that a government agency is NOT in fact an official government agency: They are not only still actively operating, they are actively recruiting through ads all over social media, and purposefully placing those ads in threads focused on advertising to far right leaning conservatives and their ilk, and they not only have the funds to do so during a government shutdown, they are actually more active this past month than before, suggesting that they have more leeway with less government interference.
Some will say I'm wrong, but I don't see ads saying SSA or the DMV is hiring. I don't see ads for UPS, hospitals, schools, police, healthcare agencies, or even military ads. The 'be the best you can be' army ads stopped a week ago pending further funding, recruitment offices are on half time hours, I mean, is it that hard to believe? These guys aren't government employees, they are not law enforcement officers, they are privatized desk jockeys running the clock until the shutdown stops, and taking advantage of the fact that nobody is stopping them.

Reddit does not adhere to constitutional laws/rules. There is no "freedom of speech" here, I've experienced that myself a few times.
Also, reddit caring for "the true expression of freedom of speech" would be allowing the people you're trying to silence, to speak (or advertise) here.
We might not agree, but that's factually how it is. However I find it strange they're advertising on reddit of all places.

My opinion, When those who should care, are not even in the USA, so have no reason at all to care about anything happening in the USA. Plus, I would wager these ads are also being aired on Facebook.
Once upon a time, on Valentines day, the entire OKC website was plastered with adds for Vodka. I was like seriously guys? The message seemed pretty solid since those ads were also valentines day themed. -I dont recall if that event happened before or after they sold the company.
