    I was mostly around the chapo reddit, so this might just be my bias, but has reddit become even far more right wind lately? Like since the chapo ban, whenever I opended the front page to scroll through for five minutes it was toxic as hell. I guess one reason is that all the Biden libs get ready for imperial wars while the Trump base has always been racist and US politics overshadowing everything.

      A lot of other people have noticed this so I don't think it's just you. Just about the only times I see anyone mention Chapo in the lefty subs, it's to make this observation. Myself, I thought it was just because I started reading history and theory and could spot it better.

      Since the purge I notice how anti-protest the NYC and Seattle subreddits have suddenly become. I'm sure that's not a coincidence.

      The massive anti-China propaganda campaign that was ramped up in earnest around January 2019 has been extremely successful

      im sure part of it is correct the record 2.0 (like Russian bots but real) and some of it was bound to happen organically when people had been preaching vote blue no matter who for the past 2 years. Biden wins and you see them doubling down in favor of him, they've gotta convince themselves their liberal world view still makes sense, biden isn't a bad guy, he'll fix climate change, etc etc. That one democrat was talking about how badly Trump fucked up the coup, now a perfect storm for manufacturing consent on the only other super power that contests the US. There's so many reasons.
