Who could have possibly predicted that setting up a "socialist" subreddit specifically oriented on critiquing identity politics would end in it becoming a haven for reactionary dipshits.
It's a dang mystery I tells ya.

Its two founders, crab boy and gucci, were both insufferable reactionary dipshits and the worst posters on the old sub. They explicitly set out to create a safe space for reactionary dipshits like themselves, that was always both the inevitable end state and their intended objective.
It took way too long for the old sub to purge them, I think it only happened towards the end after the 
admins had started targeting the sub and its mods.
That's reddit for ya
I wouldn't have predicted it because the pro-idPol "socialist" equivalent to them are all massive zionists now.
Sure, but the point is that trying to set up something like that on reddit was doomed to fail from the start.
They're just reactionaries that like weed and maybe free college.
Tiresome, selfish, irony-poisoned edgelords.
Too true... Dril is the one person that was original with that shit
why we tolerated them among us
among us
i think roughly 80% of the time i saw a dogshit take on the subreddit it was a stupidpol inhabiter, the other 20% were lost libs and 
Now its trueanon anytime i see a dumb ass take there its 90% of the time a stupidpol or redscare user lol
Mods need to bring back the redscarecheck bot
I think it got killed by the api changes in reddit
RIP to a real one
The real reason for the api limits
no it was the nwordcountbot they wanted dead
Lmao they hated that bot so much.
I loved seeing some dipshit make some shitty comment and someone would summon the redscarecheck bot on them and it'd be all /u/dipshit has posted on redscare 357 times and then they'd whine about how that was an ad hominem or whatever.
the trueanon sub is not great, it's pervaded with dumb american chauvinists
Idk wtf stupidpol even is tbh
You know how if you dig deep enough on tumblr, you can find someone who, by combining the language of intersectional feminism with sniffing their own farts, has found a way to argue... I don't know, white people having houseplants that don't originate from Europe is actually cultural appropriation?
What if we dedicated an entire forum to finding and mocking people like that, from a nominally leftist position, so we can justify class reductionism? Then we could act really surprised when nazis join in too, but fail to do much about it, and just become a nazi forum that sometimes complains about capitalism. Welcome to stupidpol.
Once I went over to /leftypol/ and fired off a post to see what would happen. I got one normal reply and one literal Nazi it was awesome.
They did remove the Nazi post tbf
It was a sub for leftists who were overly critical of identity politics (idpol), basically class reductionists. A lot of them (all?) used it as an excuse to not analyze some racist biases they probably grew up with and as happens all the time, when poc called them out on it it activated their hitler gene and they doubled down to the point of being pretty damn racist usually lol
The old CTH sub and them would beef pretty regularly before it got banned lol
Haven for cracker 'leftists' who'd sooner go to bat for the likes of Jackson Hinkle or Infra before they'd ever consider their place as a settler or the prospect of liberating Amerikan slaves
Absolutely nothing of value both as human beings and as a sub
I ban those fuckers from any left subreddit I mod.
what I've found helpful is to imagine the israeli version of them.
Better a stupidpoler than a liberal I guess
Nah, give me a liberal who doesn't hate black people over a stupidpol everyday
Theyre both just as bad dude, no
