/r/drama was part of my shift rightward. There are a lot of rightoids in there doing the lords work, showing people to the light. Ironic rightoid posting can still red-pill people. And good drama is still good drama, whether it's chapotards sperging out over ableism in the revolution or the Donald Defense Force sperging out about NPCs. Drama is one of the few places where actual fascists and actual leftists clash on a daily basis, and it's pretty entertaining.
I'm currently banned for circumventing the custom subreddit style at /r/drama though.
Agenda-driven trolls are a fact of modern life. Thacker’s gonna thack. But when @HuffPost gives these pieces a platform, and a veneer of respectability, that’s when the damage is done.
Calling HuffPo respectable instead of an unpaid they-write-it-for-free content mill is a Mr. Fantastic level of stretch.
Steve Huffman: Compensation, well... A few steps down the road what I would like to do is when I say empower communities, I think there’s an extreme version of that, which is where we bring economics into this. Allowing communities to have business models. And hopefully you can use your imagination there, but I think there’s a lot they can do and that would open the door to communities having money and potentially moderators having a share of that. So I think we’re pretty far off, but that’s one of my, kind of, fantasies, that we can elevate communities to such a degree that people can actually run a business or earn a living on Reddit.

That is like: "I want to ask a scientist if climate change is supported by facts. But I do not want to hear a yes."

The problem with genetic engineering is it's done to make crops hardier and sweeter, which along with selective breeding leads to the mayobesity thing

Which GE crops are "sweeter"?
