Shit if /politics goes red where on earth could liberals congregate and discuss liberal politics on the internet? Doesn’t seem to be much liberal space left online!!!!
Exactly. It's why I don't follow the rules on /r/politics. If it talks, walks, and acts like a shill/russian, I'm calling that shit out. Have yet to be banned for it, but I await the honor with each one.
Can you imagine what it's like waking up everyday as this person?
If you disagree with them you are either a russian bot or a nazi. No american could possibly have an opinion that differs from a leftist. We either hate america or we're racist.
Back in the golden days this person would be in a room somewhere, post lobotomy, drooling on their sleeves while they stare out a barred third floor window.
Believing that /r/politics is right wing is one of those things that is so provably and objectively delusional that it you told your therapist its equivalent, they would start to worry about your well-being.
I am suggesting that these therapists may want to encourage their patients (and any /r/politics users) to consider how best to be set adrift upon the Endless Ocean
None of us believe that r/politics is right wing. We know that there are/have been concerted efforts by trolls and extremely right wing fanatics to silence some of the more lively left wing posts. It’s not something that’s even arguable. It happens all the time. The fact that you guys don’t understand that it only takes one or two of the older mod accounts to be counter to the mainstream to disrupt the entire subreddit’s natural discourse is just sad. It’s sad that there’s so many people in the world that don’t have the capacity to understand such simple ideas.
No. Shit, I would GLADLY discuss anything with someone with a differing viewpoint as long as they can actually have an intelligent discourse on the subject. People on either side of an argument who don’t understand what they’re talking about, but act like they do (and insert themselves in the discussion), are fucking trolls. There are idiots on both sides of the political spectrum (and in the middle) but currently the majority of the idiots are on the right.
Also, the right is no longer conservative in the way it would like to pretend. Conservatism is completely separate and apart from the modern day GOP. There may be some true conservatives remaining in the party because they don’t really fit anywhere else, and being third party is just career suicide, but they are the minority.
If you’d like to have a discussion about literally anything political, please be my guest. The only way people learn and adjust their views is through honest arguments. If everyone simply talks to people with the same beliefs and never ventures outside of that echo chamber, no one changes for the better. Again, trolls as I was referring to, are people who would argue with you about something when presented with hard facts. They’d sit there and argue that the sky doesn’t look blue, it looks green, while sitting there staring at a blue fucking sky. They don’t care that they’re actually wrong. They don’t want to be correct. They just want to win the argument by being ignorant. We can thank the internet for that.
Are we generally talking about the unequal treatment of white people in today’s age of “everything must be equal”? Kind of ironic that in a field of “equality” we’re actually treating white people negatively.
Go the the internet archive and look at /r/politics 10 years ago, now go look at it year by year up until now.
The only thing that has happened is it's been pushed more and more to the left with anything that's not obviously pro left being suppressed at this point.
While other parts of the site have been pushed far to the right, much further to the right than every would've been acceptable a decade ago. Open white supremacy and longing for the return of apartheid and Jim crow.
I looked up the "pro Trump mod" that they're bitching about, and he's literally a moderate-to-average leftist who posts in anti-Trump subs all the time. The cognitive dissonance is palpable.
/r/Politics: Where being right of Sanders makes you a fascist.
I’ve heard it said the r/politics mods are fascists, commies, CTR, GRU, centrists, accelerationists and once I had someone accuse me of shilling for Singapore’s People’s Action Party.
This is actually the first time I’ve heard us called furries.
Does it bother you knowing that you are getting roasted by people literally on your side of the political spectrum because you are not extremist enough while trying to moderate a "neutral" subreddit...
And even if was full blown Trump supporter, the mod list has 50 people on it. Rhetorical question, but are Redditors so fucking fragile in a mod list of 50 peeps, they can't handle the notion that ONE person might disagree with them, in a sub that 99.9% of the time leans hard left, anyways?
Do you seriously believe that your are you just posting unfunny shit for the sake of being a walking Chapo stereotype?
What I mean is: provide a picture of your genitalia and/or anus. Good day.
I thing after maymay may and maymay apocalypse things truly started going downhill. Admins started messing whit FrontPage and default subs. But elections really broke whole thing down, why are these people screeching in reddit and not on Facebook and Twitter.
r/politics is like a microcosm of, like, every leftist revolution since 1792. What started as a bunch of idealistic lefties spins out into a paranoid bloodbath where anyone who doesn’t nod along with this week’s outrage or whichever radical thought leader gets their head chopped off.
It's the one-drop theory of extremist politics: If you're willing to tolerate sharing a space with someone, that means you can be characterized as having the same views as them. eg. If you don't support banning Trump supporters, it's fair to call you a Trump supporter.
There's about 20 comments each thread all a variation of that comment. Imagine soiling yourself and going "Trumpers out in full force today be careful boys" when one of the replies isn't "I agree."
I know one of the top mods of /r/politics, he claims to not be a Trump supporter but is far right to the point of being a fascist. Not on his main account.
I already am eating from the trash can all the time. The name of this trash can is ideology. The material force of ideology makes me not see what I am effectively eating.
