I swear the Dutch socialist subreddit gets more right wing by the day. (lemmygrad.ml)

It's called r/poldersocialisme and I feel like even the slightest anti-imperialism or ML thought gets scrutinized there. Today with the war in Palestine, every single pro Palestine comment or post got downvoted. This wouldn't have happened a year ago I feel like. Slowly the subreddit got run over by more social democrats and even right wingers. The mods don't do anything to stop it. They are actually making it worse. I once got a tempban for 'denying the Uyghur genocide'. They have a flair for right wingers as well, like theyre inviting them. What's the point of a Dutch socialist subreddit when the viewpoints are the exact same as the ones that are already established throughout the whole Dutch media landscape?

Sorry for my niche rant, but as a Dutch ML I feel more alone in my viewpoints every day, and I'm losing hope in the Dutch left but hope I can do something to revitalize it.

I feel you, comrade. I visit that subreddit from time to time, and I've noticed how it's filled with social democrats. They're not exactly hiding it either, which you can tell by the flair they use. (And from their lib opinions, of course). There are a few MLs on there, but their voices pretty much get drowned out by the horde of succdems who laugh at you when you tell them that Frans Timmermans is not a leftist.

The right-wing flair thing is indeed fucking stupid. That flair seems to be used by nazbols/right-deviationist types. The fact that those are welcome, disgusts me. They tend to blend in because economically they don't differ much from the regular social democrats who post there, with both promoting socdem parties. (Hm, something about the moderate wing of fascism thinkin-lenin ). I can't say I'm surprised though, because for some time the sub used to have a link to stupidpol in their sidebanner, which they later got rid of.
