I saw a take a while back about how university subreddits are very good on Palestine. Am I missing something? (hexbear.net)

But I checked and they might be the most rabidly racist and pro-genocide shitholes on reddit-logo

Between the whining about how the cops haven’t executed the protestors yet and the demands for “Chinese scum” to be expelled, I’m not sure where the supposed progressivism is supposed to be.

Location subreddits on reddit suck ass.

If event happens at [place] that is political and enters national news you get thousands of political activists subscribing to [place subreddit]. They aren't actually from that place, they are activist tourists.

They then stay permanently subscribed to [place subreddit] and ruin it forever. Anyone actually from [place] is turned off [place subreddit] and does not contribute to pushing back against them. They just take over.
