If we're keeping it real here... I think early 2015 to late 2016 was the point where this board was at its worst in that regard. There was also that point where we got a bunch of Stormfront refugees after the site closed down, but most of them didn't last long.

If by "alt-right" you mean "gamers", then I'm sure CE was alt-right long ago.

No, lol

It's been getting less so

This board's defining political trait is obnoxious liberalism that doesn't quite reach it to SJWism.

More alt-right than when? I don't think it's significantly moreso than say, a year ago, but the alt-right presence has definitely increased since 2014. Open nationalism is far more common here than - just to put a neat date on it - when the Trump campaign kicked off.

Having said that, CE remains a largely liberal board, and just as we've seen more open members of the far right, we also have more open leftists than I can ever recall. I remember ~2008 when Scintillante was considered to be way the hell out there for espousing views that are fairly commonplace today.

I've done polls just asking people how they identify, but there are always joke votes, and equally weighting each user isn't a fair representation of a board where some of us (such as myself) are far more prolific posters than others.

If I had to put percentages on our political discussion
20% alt-right
10% conservative
30% liberal
20% leftist
20% people who spout off about how they hate "both sides" without ever espousing views of their own

But so much gets bent by the U.S. political lens, so it can appear at times 75-25 to the left because that's how many disapprove of Trump.

We're ideologically diverse in a way that the NYT op-ed page can only dream of.

Are we using alt-right as a catch-all term for anyone right leaning? Because not all right wingers are alt-right.

It's hilarious how people think this type of logic is actually justifiable in regards to racist trolling. No, I'm not accusing you or anyone specifically so don't get defensive again.

the board is overwhelmingly regressive left

"Regressive"


there are literal socialists and communists here


there are a few, yes. but saying the board is overwhelmingly regressive left is a huge exaggeration. it will only look that way if you're so far to the right, you consider anyone with a tiny bit of social awareness "socialist/communist"

i believe the vast majority of CE is moderate or apolitical. Maybe left-leaning in general but only cause a lot of things that are just common decency is "left-leaning." The far right is definitely the loudest tho,


It's not even that. The board shifts depending on who's got the power.

Why? Because they're the one doing dumb shit most the time. The board was against Bush when I was here in 05-07, against Obama when in 08-09 and still against him when I came back in 11 up until like late 15 where it became more neutral and now it's against trump (for damn good reason). The fluctuates depending on who controls the legislative power but only mildly (since most just credit that to the sitting president anyways.

It's almost always leaning opposite of who's in power with the vocal majority being whoever feels it's their life's work to defend their party in power.

These last two years I agree, it's left leaning with the right being the most vocal about anything and everything but it hasn't always been the case.

TBH it's why I find both sides who identify strongly as a liberal or conservative on this board stupid. They'll rationalize the worst decisions as necessary or good as long as their party is the one who made it.
