Due to the new policy I feel unsafe with how you continue to advocate for a position that is of an innately political nature in an attempt to distract me from that

I'm not so much advocating for the position (I am, but I usually advocate for empirical reality over insane conspiracy theories) as I am explaining which position is against the ToS. You don't have to argue (in fact, arguing will accomplish absolutely nothing in regards to the topic at hand), you just have to learn. Like it or not, you were modded for supporting the election fraud narrative. If you wish to avoid being similarly modded in the future, avoid supporting the election fraud narrative. That's the lesson in its entirety.

The ToS was enforced one way for the narrative surrounding one event, and it was enforced differently for a similar narrative surrounding a similar event

Knowing how you think, this belief is probably a result of you thinking about the matters in question at too conceptual a level. If you instead think in terms of the actual content of each narrative and the way it/the corresponding events affect people, they probably aren't actually that similar. Specifically, there's likely a key difference between them that is the basis for modding one and not modding the other.

As an example, if you're comparing Jan 6th to BLM protests, while they are both protests, Jan 6th was an attempt to undermine a democratic election to install an unelected dictator based on the lie that the election had been "stolen," while BLM was attempting to correct racist attitudes and policies that result in a disproportionate number of PoC being victimized by unnecessary police violence. Undermining a democratic election is bad, so speaking in support of that protest is frowned upon by the ToS. Reducing unnecessary police violence is good, so speaking in support of those protests is not frowned upon. They are both protests, which might be why you consider them "similar," but they critically differ in that one supports a good thing and the other supports a bad thing. That means the good one isn't moddable and the bad one is.

I can't be any more informative than that without knowing what you're actually talking about, but again, if you want to PM me the details so you don't risk being marked/modded for posting them publicly, I can comment on them less vaguely and possibly help you understand.

Hmm. First time I've had a topic of mine derailed that I can recall. But also I usually don't get this many posts in my topics.

I'd say it's still kind of on the rails. It's become much more specifically about Skard's inability to follow the rules than about the rules in general, but it's still at least somewhat about how the rules have changed and what can/can't be posted now.
