        tbf that's a pretty small thread, but unsurprising. WorldNews has been hard-right for as long as I can remember. They hate anything that's not white, christian, and European.

          Worldnews kind of oscilates between hard right (whenever middle easterners / africans are involved) and annoying center-right / neoliberal whenever it's about countries where they can't just be racist. In a way they actually function as a pretty good indicator for Americans, since they view themselves as staunch moderates, due to their one or two progressive viewpoints, while also having some far far right opinion on immigration especially.

            Idk their threads on anything involving Latin America usually involve the same far-right talking points about race, lack of civility, and drugs.

              Sometimes you get a few people who chalk things up to American imperalism in the region, and the brutal dictatorships most of South America had during the later parts of the Cold War, but those voices are quickly met with "well that was under Regan / Nixon / Republicans, and now we don't do that anymore, so whats their excuse"
