Why would worldnews host that anyway? It is a US politics concern, which is explicitly outside the topic of worldnews.
And based on my time as a moderator, users who run off to other forums to complain about mod decisions usually leave out important details. Not saying that is necessarily the case for you, but I am not just going to take your word for it.
And violent overthrow is not a "founding block of American Democracy". Right after he won the Revolutionary War, George Washington used the Army to put down an American revolution against taxes:

This dude sounds loud and incorrect.
I didn't call to violently overthrow a government, and the irony in the time frame of Washington's life you decided was important to this conversation.
It is convenient that you only wanted to talk about Washington after the Revolutionary War.
From the Declaration of Independence itself, the founding principles of the Independence of the USA.
You might not know this, but American state representatives play a part in world politics and there are articles hosted on r/worldnews that are about them.
