Super cool. Definitely a good thing that reddit isn't being used to radicalize people to the alt-right, otherwise this comment might be a bit problematic, eh?
About a decade ago when NextDoor became a thing it fucking blew my brain out of my ears. I already knew libs were apologist spineless pieces of shit, but to see racism happening realtime from neighbors who I recognized all around me, just fucking surrounded by them, really drove it home. Like, no matter how woke you think your white community is, be they bougie or be they broke, a gigantic terrifying cross section of them will consistently be fash, cryptofash or protofash. Like clockwork.
Oh man, I didn't know about NextDoor until my friends who live in the burbs had kids. Suddenly I started to realize why they were becoming increasingly concerned about black people coming from the city to loot their houses and shit. These are people who were NEVER this fucking stupid before, but as society became a little less comfortable, media went into overdrive, and they started reading paranoid bullshit in NextDoor, they started thinking this shit was more plausible.
Quite literally if a black person drove down the street there would be a NextDoor post about someone "casing the neighborhood."
