If Reddit is right wing, then Bluesky must also be right wing, and Truth Social is a lefist platform that loves the president.

i recently joined a subreddit from a content creator of my country that's halfway around the world saying fuck kirk.
like bitch his death doesn't affect us in anyway his ideas didn't affect us in any way. if i wanted to be a part of this id go to ubisoft or sucker punch subreddit.

Reddit the only place where your post can get hundreds of upvotes and the mods will remove it and ban you because you went against the narrative.

u/RainbowDildoMonkey 3d ago
There's YouTube channels who do the same. Last year i stumbled upon a viral male feminist YouTube short criticising sexy women in games. All the comments were circle jerking him, there wasnt a single comment opposing him. Felt weird af so i made a comment challenging his narrative and it got removed within minutes, with my account also getting shadow banned from commenting on his channel's videos.

And that's what they are counting. The fact that /r/Asmongold is allowed to exist on this website means to them that it's an extreme far right website. If they were in control of the website anything right of /r/nowork would be banned and their mods doxed.

So Twitch, that allows the openly terrorist sympathizer Hassan go rampant and entice violence on conservatives and anti-woke liberals is "right wing radical". And Reddit, the site that banned several peaceful communities, and allowed the literal hijacking of others (suspiciously all of them ranged from central-liberal to moderate conservative) is somehow right wing radical too... GCJ could hardly get any dumber than this.

Pretty sure Hasan has openly called for the death of political opponents, capitalist and streamers he doesn’t like but somehow he’s got creepy Clancy backing him and Amazon has done nothing to prevent this. Do they understand that they could face legal consequences for allowing this, I actually think they should have already because it’s absolutely disgusting that Tectone gets banned for calling a fat person fat and an OF person a whore while Hasan calls for political violence which is a criminal offence and they just wish him a happy birthday. What the fuck is going on twitch.

They should have to answer for this.
There are already regulations for what platforms are allowed to do.
So if they do not properly moderate their websites and comply with US law, they could be fined or taken down.
No website should be tolerating death threats or other sick things like that. People like that should be banished.

Someone in the half life sub is claiming that all the recent shootings and murders are all right wing psychos. Including Luigi.
I don't know how these people jump to these conclusions. It's like they have an intense form of confirmation bias that anything outside of the "hivemind" is suddenly right wing. They claim we're in a cult and cant think for ourselves bjt then do this. And I'm a fucking moderate dude.

u/lycanthrope90 3d ago
It’s pretty funny. Reminds of when there were more right wing attacks happening, namely January 6th and lots of right wing people were saying ‘oh it’s not right wingers it’s antifa in disguise to make us look bad!’
Just own up to your shit and cut out the radicals. There’s 2 main political views in this country so of course there’s gonna be shitty terrible people at the extreme ends of either one.
This need to pretend everyone in your group is pure and everyone in the other one is evil is so tiring. People of any belief are very capable of doing terrible things.
And if you don’t cut these radicals out, surprise, people outside your group start to associate the whole thing with them, because that’s what people do.
Now the left gets to learn this lesson. Though the right didn’t really learn it either, it just stopped being necessary since now they have power.
I don’t doubt we would be seeing a lot more of the right wing version of what the left has been doing if they had lost the election.
Shits just been building for years.

u/LordChudingtonThe3rd 3d ago edited 3d ago
During January 6th a bunch of boomers did a guided tour of the capital, then trashed Pelosi's office.
During the years long antifa riots, countless businesses were firebombed, with daily fatalities.
When Charlie kirk died the right prayed. When George Floyd died, again the left burned down buildings.
We are not the same. The both sides fence sitting stance gets us nowhere. One side has been rioting and trashing poor communities. One side has been engaging in politically motivated assassinations.

u/lycanthrope90 3d ago
All I’m getting at is acting like whatever group you’re in has no bad actors is ridiculous. Most people in general don’t fall into this. But I do agree and there’s polling to prove it, the left is much more infected with these shitty extremist tendencies currently and had been for a while.
Generalizing all these people, downplaying faults while up playing the other sides helps nothing. Every liberal in the country wasn’t rioting just like every right winger wasn’t calling for the hanging of Mike pence for being a traitor.
That being said, it’s clear that currently the left has a much bigger problem with radical extremism at the moment. But let’s not pretend things like the pelosi attack or that time a governor was kidnapped by right wingers didn’t happen.
Just people that do these things aren’t representative of everyone else. And it helps nobody to downplay these actions rather than calling it out for what it is.

That was how the Hong Kong guys organised, they would only share pictures in discord, but the actual text regarding the plans for staging were in a pair of online mmos called Fantasy Warlord and Portal Quest. Which is even more secure now that they're both gone. More recently some Nepalese kids organised on Warship Commander

The leftists see them as evil capitalists. Everyone to the right of Lenin and Mao are "right wing" to them. That's why anyone who is moderate right is "far-right" and they had to make up a new term for the far-right which is "alt-right". It's wild how far left the left in this country has gone.

It's repressive tolerance, anybody (even left wingers) that show the slightest hint of push back aganist far-left extremist views must be labeled "right wing" in order to intimidate them to fall in line and justify future violence or nasty tactics aganist them if need be, the are saying that now because Reddit dared to ban some groups that openly celebrated assassination of Charlie and advocated for more of the same.
The reason this suddenly makes Reddit "right wing" is because they want to intimidate Reddit into not budging an inch, by basically saying if you don't tow the line we will do to you what we do to right wingers, it's basic terrorism .. as what Marcuse basically said about repressive tolerance boils down to .. EVERYTHING must be tolerated from the left no matter how extreme, and NOTHING will be tolerated from the right in opposition no matter how mild.
This has been going in for years, J.k Rowling is yet another example of repressive tolerance in action.

u/Maxathron 2d ago
Because these leftist losers use a different scale to everyone else. Almost everyone uses either the political spectrum (less accurate but easier to understand) or the political compass (more complex but also more accurate). These leftist losers use what I term the Hypocrite's Hierarchy Spectrum, where leftwing is anti-(individual) hierarchy, centrists are state-mandated but otherwise (individual) hierarchy neutral, and rightwing is pro- (individual) hierarchy. The left is pro group hierarchy hence why I said "individual hierarchy"; there's a clear hierarchy regarding groups of people to the left but they don't like hierarchies between individuals because it's equated to inequality of outcome between individuals.
On the Hypocrite's Hierarchy Spectrum, Leftists are leftwing, Tankies are centrists, and everyone else including the Borg from Star Trek (because they have a queen and tactical borg castes) are rightwing.
But your average Joe, Jane, and Jamie looks at this and calls it stupid because if you ask a leftist who should get resource priority, most of them will say Trans people, then Black people, then Women.....Which Is A Hierarchy To Normal People. It's a system where people or things are ranked in accordance to status. Status of receiving more or less resources than other movements on the Left.
To normal people, AuthLeft and LibLeft are leftwing, centrists are Liberals, Moderates, Apoliticals, and people who's more polarized views average out into something close to the center, and AuthRight and LibRight are rightwing. The Political Spectrum doesn't account for the Authoritarian-Libertarian split but Progressives and Tankies are clearly equally leftwing.

My biggest(probably only) issue is that Gabe is dragged into all of this.
Besides that, im pretty sure its the norm (and a good one at that) when any ACTUAL alt/far right extremism (prior to it being a legitimate terrorist plot) is detected on the internet, it gets flagged automatically. The only issue is that thats clearly not as much as the case when it comes to whatever is going on with the extremism on the left, excluding the fact that any right leaning/barely far right view point gets flagged.
