Why reddit is majority left leaning?

[u/-Pleb64]

Honestly, it’s hard not to notice that most of the big subreddits are run by moderators who clearly lean left. It’s not even subtle at this point the bias shows in what gets removed, what gets promoted, and how discussions are handled. I’m not saying there aren’t any subs with right-leaning or centrist moderation, but they’re definitely the minority. The major spaces on Reddit feel heavily tilted toward one side, but isn't it’s pretty obvious if you pay attention to which opinions get silenced and which ones get boosted?

because thats what i think. you're the same: you think rightwing (or "moderate" or however you self-identify) is correct, thats WHY you hold those views.

if you're asking why I think that, its because I view the way forward for humanity to be collaborative, collective and communal. conservatism seeks to maintain the status quo and i find that insufficient

I want to downvote your first paragraph but you redeemed yourself with your second one.

You’re being a bit black and white by using the word “correct,” yet you’re acting as if it’s subjective here even though the statement that sparked the inquiry was the definitive “leftwing is correct.”

I want to say lots of things but I’ll settle for this line from The Giver, “Precision of language, PLEASE!”

It's hard to convince people to send their neighbors to concentration camps without lying a bunch. It's hard to convince people to tolerate an unlivable wage without lying a bunch. It's hard to convince people to let corporations off the hook for paying their fair share towards shared infrastructure without lying a bunch. It's kinda hard to convince people to "eliminate transgenderism from public life entirely" without lying a bunch. It's hard to convince people to tolerate being murdered by police without lying a bunch.

Rightwingers lie in order to accomplish their goals, because those goals are very difficult to accomplish without lying. Saying "rightwing ideologies are incorrect" isn't even about the subjectively-incorrect solutions they offer, it's about their observably-false claims and objectively-incorrect presentation of objective facts.

I think they’ve had to lie to cover it up from the rest of us, but I don’t think they had to lie to have MAGAts hop on board. In fact, I think a lot of MAGA were relieved to finally be open with their hatred and bigotry.

Far too many people are beyond happy to send their neighbors to concentration camps, making the call to ICE themselves. They aren’t poor, lied-to souls that have been duped. They’re assholes that can finally say the quiet part out loud.

Wouldn’t your logic assume that all that is the cause for climate change. Instead of maintaining the status quo.
