Reddit and other places on the internet are so far right when you say things like ‘I don’t think poor people should starve to death’ you’re looked at as a leftist.

They get shocked when you tell them capitalism is a terrible idea and their precious freedom of speech can get fucked when it’s used to protect literal Nazis.

Are you somebody who only went to the subreddits like the Donald? Reddit is basically half a step away from being the liberal version of stormfront. Now that we left the place are we just going to pretend it's everything we've always hated? Is that where we are now?

It does seem that way. I remember just a few days ago I saw a post saying that reddit would never stop praising Elon Musk

And you're pretending it's extremely left? Reddit was fairly middle road overall, but extremely polarizing in specific subs.

It's not extremely left, but it's overwhelmingly more left leaning than right leaning.
