    Don't let me be one to stop you yelling at libs, but I reckon you're pissing into the wind posting on the politics sub, the downvote brigade will get anything you post before it gets seen, even if it isn't instantly deleted.

    If you're determined to post on the hellsite and want to maybe actually reach some people, I think latestagecapitalism and aboringdystopia are the two best bets. They both get decent traffic and reach all pretty often. LSC has plenty of radlibs but also lots of baby leftists just taking their first steps, who just need a push in the right direction. And ABD is infested with libs but the echo chamber isn't as overwhelming and I think you can at least put some real cracks in some liberals' worldviews. I dunno, I seem to get more upvotes than downvotes so I guess it maybe does something?

      /r/collapse is the most fertile ground I've seen. They're inherently materialists, they're seeing the failures of capitalism as such, and the anxiety they face will either push them far to the left or right depending on which perspectives they're reading.

      I agree with what you wrote and that's good advice. I just go into /r/politics when I want low hanging fruit and to vent.

        You're stronger than I am going in there right now, I can feel the radiating smugness of a million sniffed farts before I even finish typing the url
