It's so ironic how a site with a leftist lean just chose to alienate their core base. I guess their hope conservatives and liberals staying will make up for it? Lol
Leftist lean is a bit of an understatement. It's not just Reddit. In general, the radical left is being recognized for the violence and chaos they've spread over the last decade and the government is realizing they were left unchecked for too long.
Now they're just being treated the same as the radical right.
I'd not be dismayed to see a bit of violence and chaos from the radical left but I'm struggling to think of examples - do you have some?
BLM, Pro-Palestine, George Floyd... three big ones that come to mind
ROFLMAO. This bloke. Fucking Americans.
I'm not even American
Coulda fooled me since you're spouting conservative American propaganda.
The modern era. It was a bad assumption. People globally spout our propaganda
Okay, what violence did the pro-palestine movement spread, exactly?
I can accept that some buildings got torched and property values temporarily reduced during the George Floyd protests, but when I hear violence, I think harm against flesh and blood, which the police did much, much more of. I can't think of many instances where the protestors did that.
Those just come off as regular left to me.
When I think of radical left I think tanky types who are full on nationalists and pro authoritarian governments that suppress free think that they are indistinguishable from the far right other than just differences when it comes to stuff like government assisted programs.
You are gonna have a hard time around this here social media, comrade, with these clown takes...
There are better places for bootlickers out there
