It's funny how a lot of the complaints I'm reading here are about how Reddit is unfriendly toward left-leaning people but all the right wing people complain about how Reddit is a cesspool of liberal propaganda.
It just goes to show that the platform plays both sides just to promote hate and anger.
I visited after I got banned and the default posts that show up without logging in (therefore uncurated) were all so irritating that I had to assume they were all ragebait.
Reddit is hostile towards left-leaning people, and it is also a cesspool of liberal propaganda. Liberals fucking hate leftists, even more than they hate fascists, because liberalism is fundamentally pro-capitalism. That's why the mainstream media is currently crashing out about people like Hasan Piker, who actually represent a growing base of support for socialism, and they run every possible smear they can.
I got banned for posting that Trump is a piece of shit. KTHXBAI!
Liberals are not left wing
Yes they are. Liberal covers a wide range of ideology. The liberal versus leftists debate is a Russian pysop
But the right doesn't know that.
Ok, whatever. The point was that they have fun seeing us bicker over shit for their profit.
From my perspective "liberal" is still right-wing.
Welcome to your own reality
Liberalism is fundamentally a right wing ideology, it's primarily concerned about the freedom of markets, rather than the freedoms of people, and when it comes down to choosing between the rights of individuals and the interests of corporations, liberals will side with business interests, nearly every single time. Usually, they'll always couch it in more progressive terms, like talking about jobs and economic growth. That's why both mainstream Democrats and mainstream Republicans agree on most issues, because they're both pro-business, pro-capitalist institutions.
So you can't be pro human liberty anymore? That's what being a liberal is to me. Corporations are not our friends and hate them as much as a leftist. In my mind, my and my peoples liberty trumps your idea of a perfect economic system. Whatever happens along the way to socialism or back to capitalism, human rights must come first. I don't know why that concept is so hard for leftists to grasp. I think leftists are affected by a similar psyop that affects Republicans in this regard
Lmao I feel the same. Literally feels like rage bait. Like these people are so freaking ignorant. It doesn’t help a lot of Reddit posts are just bots recirculating old content.
