Reddit has really taken a turn towards hate-mongering since 2017, and especially since the pandemic began. Entire new subreddits pop up just to mock and breed contempt for certain segments of the population. It’s disturbingly powerful, too. For instance, I have a libertarian friend who frequents r/HermanCainAward and is now pro federal vaccine mandate, using an oft touted “I’ve lost patience for these types” attitude. People’s opinions change, of course, but knowing just how much of a limited government libertarian my friend used to be in this regard was really shocking. He’s also looking the other way on how the Biden administration is trying to implement the mandate through OSHA.
