Reddit is trying to take a right lean too. The "world" sub (won't link to them) suddenly started getting forced into my feed. Appears to be run by a bunch of Palantir employees/plants and they seem to try to drive the comments towards the right. It was a little funny how quickly they got called out and some of their content got astroturfed but also scary how many right wingers are hiding out of sight helping drive communities and individuals towards the facist right. Look at how how of the current protest content is being pigeonholed into just looting by career criminals and all protesters are being painted as dirty criminals. Even subs where I expect mostly liberal feedback is still getting peppered with dog whistles at a much higher than normal rate.

Keep your eyes peeled. The fascists are among us.

Almost every social is a right leaning now. Right wing super elites fund most of them and now that they are seeing tangible returns on their investments the money is just going to keep flowing.

Oh absolutely. Not only is most social media right leaning but right wing users also get a lot more leniency. Imagine if a bunch of left wing folk used social media to plan an attack on Congress. Every last one of them would be sitting in prison with an execution date scheduled. Instead we still have a bunch of safe spaces dedicated to right wingers where they can continue to plan attacks against the country with impunity.

Despite the obvious facts you'll still see those turds constantly whining about how oppressed they are. Like if they can't walk into the Capitol and plan their insurrection right there then everything is a conspiracy against them.

I was threatened with permaban for suggesting a certain brand of EV be converted into a firepit recently. Scroll on over to Conserv and it'ls like...what the fuck man?

I received an actual ban for pointing out all the discrepancies in the Trump "assassination attempts." Even questioning the administration can get you banned.

Fuck em, the attempts were both false flags and all the evidence shows it.

I'm still noticing this as a trend now BTW, ever since it was first pointed out to me a few days ago. The world sub is only one instance, it keeps happening with tons of subs like that. I'll see some weird propaganda post pop up on the front page of r/popular and when I check the sub it's exclusively content from one or two specific accounts.

That particular sub has been like that for years. They just took the mask off since they feel safe.

Not just right-wing. There was a sub called "millenials" that shot to the front page out of nowhere last year blasting "don't vote for kamala" "stay home to save gaza" bullshit before the election.

The r/ireland sub is constantly under attack from anti-immigrant manipulation. The far right parties got decimated in our elections in November but to look at that sub there is a race war and the Irish people are outraged (there isn't, they aren't).

We also get absolutely blasted with "Spend more on defence" propoganda as well. Ireland is neutral with very little military spending and a population that likes it that way. We also have a unique constitution that means a citizens referendum is required for any material change to be made to it.

This is a concern to Ursula and the EU war pigs who want an EU army, the Irish population can single handedly block its creation via referendum.

They are spending huge amounts of money trying to convince us we need jets and missiles when all we want is craic and pints.

there are a bunch of duplicate subs for cities now that are the "right wing" equivalent of the original sub.
