r/LateStageCapitalism is on the front page all the time. Its rules include "Support for capitalism--and the political parties which uphold it--is strictly prohibited". Counterbalanced views are not front paged on a regular basis.
Reddit made sure idiotic pro-Trump subreddits were left off the front page. It didn't do the same for idiotic anti-Trump subreddits.
r/TwoXChromosomes, also regularly appearing on the front page, is about as liberal and pro-choice as you can get.
I don't like Trump at all. All the things going down right now were easy to see coming. But he got well over 40% of the popular vote in the election and still has millions and millions of supporters. Absence of pro-Trump viewpoints on the reddit front page is conspicuous, in my opinion. Likewise any number of other relatively popular viewpoints.
- komali2 9y agoI was banned from latestagecapitalism when I argued with a user that was recommending murdering business owners was a necessity to improve the world. That sub used to just be a cynical but funny place to comment on the general degradation of morality, then it swung to extremism like seemingly every Reddit sub.
- tnecniv 9y agoAnd public violence is a common sentiment over there, too. Not even in a joking way. If prompted, they will inform you that peaceful methods will never work and fighting in the streets is necessary to seize the means.
- UncleSlacky 9y agoYou think the owners of the means will ever hand them over peacefully?

- bobbygoodlatte 9y agoWow. The comment box on every LateStageCapitalism post says "Do not defend capitalism. You will be banned."
- UncleSlacky 9y agoWell, if the_Donald is allowed to be a safe space, I don't see why LSC can't.
