I woke up to the top post on our old subreddit being some shitty Twitter screenshot from some dude who doesn't know how to spell who was sharing blatantly false information in another top post the other day. The third top post is another shitty Twitter screenshot from some rando who doesn't know how to spell.
While the sentiment of those tweets (questioning covid) is fine. It's just another example of the degradation of the content shared on the old subreddit. I hope this one can flourish and blossom into what /r/conspiracy used to be.
Thanks for making this, if nothing else, as a backup for when the hammer eventually comes down.
This website is an excellent idea. Kudos to Doggos and Axo.
We might not agree on a lot of topics, but we agree on this:
Those of us who question things need a place to converse with other people who question things.
And reddit seems to be getting worse by the day.
Reddit pretty much only allows leftist orthodoxy these days. Total waste of time.
Even in the more local subreddits. It's the vicious neoliberal attacks if you don't conform. It's so strange. Like I want to follow the subreddit of my state and my city. But it's overwhelmingly neoliberal.
I wouldn't consider Reddit left these days. Bernie is left and /r/politics was opposed to him adamantly. Reddit is Chinese/globalist/neoliberal.
yeah, I can't even talk to my liberal family members even more. they have gone full Antifa and TDS. It's so weird. It's like they have been brainwashed or something (which, I guess, they have). When Trump has the military industrial complex AND big pharma against him (two biggest lobbyists ever, and ones you would THINK the leftists would be opposed to... but, no... not so much, I guess). I still cannot understand this INSANE hatred to Trump? WTF? How does that happen?
You are what you eat. This applies even more so to the immaterial things you consume like media. That's how advertising/etc works. So, 5 years of negative press has its effect on those who trust and consume the media.
Also hate is powerful emotion, and useful agent to unify social movements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHQ1LIwLtAU
Demonification is a typical tactic, allows the hater to feel good about themselves by hating whichever things is "All the Evils of the World" without you know.. having to be actually good.
