I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    While I’m not intending to offend people, I have to state that the majority of people with loud voices on social media are leftist, for many reasons including that being a typical leftist that buys the narrative (regardless which one, make your pick) requires a certain level of ignroance that approaches being an average human being with minimal critical thinking. That’s most people, because leftist ideas are shallow and sound good to people with simplistic views of the world. Besides, most leftists are jobless and/or teenagers who have nothing better to do. People like me who have anti-establishment views usually have jobs and are productive, hence not only have less time to argue, but are literally “too old for this sh*t”. There was a time when I argued a lot. Now I just say a few sentences and then I’m like… “whatever”, especially when I get robotic answers.

        Your intelligence level is obvious from your username. Compare it to mine. Yes, it’s obvious how intelligent you are when you just use the word “fascist” to describe those who you disagree with. At least my description comes from anecdote, yours comes from opinion based on angry propaganda. Zero connection to reality. Aka, delusions.

        Username checks out, for both of us.

        And btw, I have more money than I know how to spend in decades, yet I don’t own a car.

      Why do you believe other political ideologies are not also “buying a narrative” (regardless of which one, make your pick!) meaning they too “[have] a certain level of ignorance that approaches being an average human being with minimal critical thinking”? Any ideology can make a narrative and sell it to people.

        Because establishment leftism is what the mainstream media and powerful corporations advocate for. By definition, the most ignorant and negligent groups who do zero research will respond to that most common narrative due to the least-resistant path winning.

            Google, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter before Musk and Netflix promoted every leftist idea in the book and protected leftists and establishment leftism. Including “misgendering” policies, protecting Hunter Biden, Ukraine war promotion and calling every peace attempt treason, shitting on Christianity while talking against Islam gets you banned, femenism promotion, talking against women is crime while shitting on men is no problem.

            You want me to continue?

            The problem is that leftists live in a dream world where they think they’re oppressed, while every shitty idea they have is protected. Give me a break and smell what you’re shoveling.

              You mentioning corporations and Hunter Biden really makes me think you’re talking about Democrats and not Leftists.

                I said establishment leftists, primarily. That’s the primary prevailing narrative. It’s mostly leftist, and rhymes with almost everyone that claims to be a leftist loudly. It’s the same people who don’t get banned from social media because they’re pro-establishment.

                Corporations don’t give two shits about leftism or any political ideology, but it uses it to rile dumb people against others.

                If your leftism is “let’s find a way to cover people who get injured and can’t work”, then we can have a discussion. But if your leftism “those are rich evil, we’re poor, gimme money” or “BLM is great and we need to let those poor bastards destroy more property”, which is the majority nowadays, then we’ll never have middleground. These are just examples. Tons more exist.

              The problem is actually that conservatives can’t think a moment outside their own experience. Everyone less powerful than you? Oh they deserve their place. After all, they’re probably cOmMuNiSt anyway

                There’s evidence that shows that right wingers have much more exposure to leftist ideology. What was it called, twitter blind spot? Check that out and stop the 5-year old “no you” answers.

                This reminds me when I used to discuss religion after I went atheist. Atheists know everything about religion, opposite not true.

                Same for leftists. Right wingers usually know leftism more than leftists think.

                  The only reason I am fully confident in hating the right wing with a passion is that I spent more than half my life enveloped in those garbage attitudes.

                  I probably have more experience with the common right winger than a troll like you. Thanks though
