    I seem to be somehow shadowbanned in r/politics, and anyone can see from my history I’m lefty as fuck. They’ve gotten so arbitrary that they can’t even do partisan subs properly any more.

    Or maybe r/politics isn’t left-wing any more and have closed ranks around Democrat Neoliberals? Haven’t stayed around for long enough to find out. Only ever visit now when I’m not paying attention and my finger slips.

      No one hates lefties more than lefties seem to hate each other.

      Jesus being an idiot conservative has just got to be the easiest fucking thing.

      They have closed around center right as overt racism is tolerated and pointing it out is suppressed.

      I got banned from worldnews because I asked for a less biased source thanThe Tablet on an Israel post.

      I think it’s the original generation of reddit libertarian conservatives using the sub as controlled oppositon. That place used to be a Ron Paul circle jerk. They don’t necessarily like all of Trumpism but they recognize they’re more aligned than with liberals. At most they’re establishment Democrats but I think they’re no farther left than center right.
