You posted three links link to the same post on a subreddit of 180,000 people... Why not just say the entire site of reddit hates rich people because of that one post? Or the entire internet? You're literally demonizing an interesting sub-reddit that discusses legit issues regarding late stage capitalism over one post that you read.

If my words are inaccurate, point out that they're wrong. I don't feel bad at all for highlighting their behavior. The mods actively breed discontent and sow discord -- that is the purpose of the subreddit. They, from the top-down, encourage people to feel this way. My examples aren't cherry-picked. It was ten seconds of effort after sorting by "top of the last month." I could post many more if you'd like.

  Yeah but it's a subreddit of 180,000 people...that's like saying the internet is bad because there's several examples of child porn sites...

    Eh, there's some truth to that. And I'd prefer not banning subreddits at all. But on the other hand, people have been calling for The_Donald to be banned for years for similar behavior, and they have far more subscribers. Suffice to say, all I was doing was mentioning that LateStageCapitalism exists and pointing out some of their behavior. I don't actually want them to be banned. Like all subs, there is some good content mixed in with the extremism.

The country is becoming more and more controlled by the rich. Which is a legit problem for a free society when a politician can be influenced by big money. It leads to oligarchy, which destroys the country. So their complaints against the rich are extremely valid.
