You can just see the insane propaganda level on Reddit right now. I only follow gardening subs, sports subs, building subs and some shbs related to pictures of cities and urban planning. Yet, my feed is getting spammed all of a sudden by subs like MadeMeSmile and nextfuckinglevel and they are all about this shit stain of a human being.

Reinforces that leaving reddit wholesale was a wise choice for me. Even in the later days of my stay there I was seeing libshit in totally unrelated hobbyist forums. I swear I remember a guy in a board game sub trying to argue that voting blue no matter what was critically important...for board games.

I can't imagine what those spaces must look like now.

It was virtually nothing but ignorant and hysterical ukraine hawks when I left. I'm sure it's so much worse now that I really don't even want to look.

Can you elaborate on why he's a shit stain of a human being? Genuinely asking, because other than his name being vaguely familiar to me, I've never heard of him before.

Maybe I was a bit too hard. He is a lukewarm left wing liberal. But he remains a US politician and is therefore opposed to the interests of the working class. He remains a capitalist or at best a reformer. And he both sides Israel committing a genocide.

Can we please stop saying "left wing liberal" or implying in any way whatsoever that such a thing does or could exist? Liberalism is a hard-right ideology down to the core and slapping vacuous identity politics stickers on it to get more votes does not move the needle a nanometer. At bare minimum, the left begins at anti-capitalism, otherwise it's just right-wing infighting.

He's not "lukewarm" or "left wing" anything, as this thread makes very clear he's a deranged Zionist freak. He isn't both-siding, he actively supports the genocide and advocates for brainwashing children into Zionism.

He supports Ukraine and advocated (if by presence alone) for a NATO no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Also on youtube, very pro-Kamala content is showing in my recommends.

You can turn off Reddit recommendations if you don't want that crap
