Reddit has gotten so bad. It’s an echo chamber on everything not just politics. I made the mistake of posting something last year in one of the very few times I visited. Not political in the slightest but a different than the popular opinion. Not rude, just some polite logic. Myself and the one other who responded with “oh yeah what you’re saying makes sense” got railed and downvoted to the point I hit some sort of auto ban threshold.
They are only going to make themselves worse. You can already only parrot the consensus opinion there as it is.
Yeah, I have a burner account I can't use because it doesn't have the "required karma" to participate in basically every subreddit. You make one controversial comment and you're effectively shadowbanned.
They're in such a bubble that they literally cannot perceive reality. Then something like the 2024 election happens and they have a total meltdown because they just can't understand how it happened.
There was a post on r/askmen back in like 2015 that was titled something like "what is your true unpopular opinion?". Every single one of the comments except for one was an opinion that was safe, popular, and lined up with redditor beliefs.
That one opinion that differed was this: "I don't believe women are capable of actually loving a man" followed by some anecdote and a few stats. The guy that posted it was, to reiterate, the only person to actually follow the directions of the post.
That guy not only got like, I think 1200 downvotes, but had a bunch of soyboys telling him to commit suicide, all because of his opinion, which he even stated in his comment was just that, an opinion, not a measurable fact.
This was back in 2015, before Correct The Record took over the site. It has only gotten worse.
Edit: I found the post but the comment was deleted. There was exactly one archive on the wayback machine but it was after the comment got deleted.
I stopped posting on KIA2 itself on reddit when I posted something slightly against the prevailing narrative of the thread, and just got dozens of people repeating the same wrong but buzzword laden comment at me. All of which you could tell they got from their favorite youtube video influencer.
So its not even Leftism itself, its just people on reddit in general.

Bluesky is that way too.
bluesky is twitter, but with Redditards.
Don't forget musk and his very real nazi salute that's not hallucinatory at all.

Sort by controversial to find the real unpopular opinions.
