    We might be visiting different sites because the reddit I know is anti-right. Most popular news subreddits like /r/politics are actually US-democratic party echo chambers.

      @IngrownMink4@lemmy.ml is making the distinction between leftism and liberalism, explained succinctly here.

      Reagan and thatcher for example, are liberals: pro free market, pro capitalism, pro landlordism, pro exploitation. Even the “social liberal” distinction that you see in countries like the US, and your average redditor, agree on all those points.

        I have. They are mostly made up of leftists actually. Not extreme left, but left nonetheless.

          Hmm, I don’t think so (I guess because we have different conceptions of what is alt-right). But, do you agree with the rest of what I wrote?

            Yeah, the rest I agree with. I also hate the move towards profiles and more attention to the individual.

              I agree with what you say! I personally don’t like the normalization of this type of harassment.
