We're being outposted by the Incels! The fucking Incels! Apparently we're entirely responsible for the "Sharp rise in extremist discoursse" on the left. It is our solemn duty to carry the entire online left for the sake of both-sides centrists who need to believe that we're just as big of a threat as the 70 million or so frothing at the mouth fascists in this country!

I'll start - We're not shoving enough horseshoe theory centrists in to lockers, and we should do more of that.

    For the record, the part about us being responsible for a "sharp rise" in leftist violent rhetoric is a statistical accident. Since all of our old posts are removed until the site backend gets updated, the "violent rhetoric" that we would otherwise contribute to the stats only show up in the last couple months of data, making it look like a spike when it's probably a more steady number.

        My first bet is the chapo heritage. The website used to be called chapo.chat and still ranks #1 for "chapo chat". Also they crawled millions of reddit posts, the fate of r/cth, moretankiechapo, chapo.chat etc is all transparent.
