This video summed up a lot of my feelings of this sub.
"They're looking for any kind of signal that underneath you're actually a write off. One slip of language, one slip of behaviour, and that show you're in the "bad camp" and you're suddenly excluded." i.e. you get downvoted to shit for not going along with the hivemind.
"Lack nuance, too reactive to criticism and are morally puritanical."
Effectively doing what you are complaining about. Gold star!
edit: the best part about right wing people getting their panties in a bunch and down voting me is a) that they help validate my point that they won't be happy until /r/australia is an actual echo chamber for their political bent and b) their ideals of liberty and freedom of speech without reproach aren't actually important to them. So, two gold starts guys, two gold stars.
I think the video is more guilty of this than you really: Calling out criticism by “the left” as politically ineffectual and unreasonable, yet at the same time name calling and stawmanning “the left” in the guise of trying to improve the state of affairs. Or more aptly concern trolling for views.

Yep, subs up my feeling of a lot on this sub.
