I'll ask here because I'm curious:
A lot of lefty subreddits link to each other in the sidebar, but they seem to avoid r/LateStageCapitalism for some reason in favor of the much less popular r/Capitalism_In_Decay (e.g. r/ShitLiberalsSay with "Capitalism in Decay: New home of Late Stage Capitalism"), despite the sidebar claiming it has "an emphasis on Marxist concepts and analysis and a commitment to antiracism and inclusive feminism."
Was there some drama I missed at some point? Did everyone decide they were a bunch of libs? I usually only ever see them on r/all since I'm not subscribed to them but it feels like there's a story there.
Same thing with r/EnlightenedCentrists over the much more popular r/EnligtenedCentrism.
/biz/ has been talking about $GME for awhile, but not particularly any more than WSB as far as I can tell. Considering they're dramatically smaller than WSB and obviously didn't kick this off, the best you can say about them is that they rode along behind them. If you can point to any one person most responsible for this, it's probably DeepFuckingValue on WSB who has been banging the $GME drum (which I imagine to be resold & overpriced DK Jungle Beat controller) for a year.
There were even a variety of comments on /biz/ to the tune of "maybe Reddit isn't so bad after all?" but with the reason of course being "because they're screwing the jews!" /pol/ and /biz/ are convinced this is going to redpill normies on antisemitism, but it seems most of the posts I've seen are either just going "wow everyone across the political spectrum hates Wall Street!" to a bunch of AOC and Rashida tweets being upvoted. Not much in the way of people being excited that Ben Shapiro or Ted Cruz pretended to care about stopping greed on Wall Street.
