Oh man, that brings me back to the days when r/cth used to brigade other subs. Those were the times.

Never thought I'd live long enough to see it again...

The best part was that it was always just the fact we were all terminally online and saw the same frontpage threads as everyone else. It was (almost) never an actual brigade, just the result of having a bunch of very active posters with better politics than the average redditor. That's all it took to make the worst people on reddit pit over being unable to consistently silence people with better opinions than their own.
