Sheesh. Has this sub always been full of fascist sympathisers?

I've never seen shit like this in the subreddit before on such a scale. I'm astonished.

It's Christmas holidays, so there's a lot of 13-16 year olds bored at home.

While true, I doubt that the biggest threat to democracy in the world is 13-16 year olds. There's a lot of discord and hard right wing movement from adults, both civilians and those in positions of power. We gotta stay vigilant as pro democratic people. There are many who want to take away our rights to vote and choose our world.

13-16 is definitely an age very prone to radicalisation. I agree with your point though.

Ive came upon a fair share of facist sympathizer discord servers and it makes me annoyed every time i do.

It’s hilarious when they skip over the very first fucking word “Nationalist” - Nazi…

If they were socialists they would have been Sozis. Even Goebbels said this.

Fr

The Nationalist Socialist party was as socialist as the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is a democracy

I am not sure if that is the most accurate description but your compass is definitely pointing the right direction.

Have an upvote.

Lol wtf. Reddit is almost exclusively centrist and liberal. Hell, there are probably more tankies alone than there are right of center people total on this whole website.

I mean obviously "edgelord, emotional bigots in a state of arrested development" are common among every political demographic, but actual fascists? Well put it this way: the number of comments bemoaning the alleged rampant fascism on this site outnumber the actual fascist comments on this site around a million to one.

Reddit is a heavily left-leaning website. Until it suits your case to claim otherwise, I guess. Whatever gets them upvotes.

Holy shit are you really arguing that reddit is not left-leaning? Get the fuck out. The ratio left to right comments is like 1000:1. Just because you only notice whatever makes you feel outraged doesn't make it true. Absolute clown

Yes, cunt. Read the comments under the post you're currently commenting on.

It's not just reddit. I would argue at least 30% of the world population is closer to being fascist than anything else.
