..."full of [far-right] posters/opinions/expressions" when every poll shows the board is majority left and the general atmosphere of the board is highly liberal with constant, stern condemnation of right wing views (especially far right).


Why is this?


Is it like a one-drop rule? Any amount taints the whole of the board?

Or do they lack self awareness to the point that all these instances of users posting something politically agreeable don't even register with them as taking a stance, so opposing views stick out like a sore thumb?

It feels like liberalism is sort of the "default" stance in our society so people with fledgling political views don't really see themselves or others as having political views despite typically leaning liberal. Possibly because they see themselves as being removed from the stereotypical political scene where people in red or blue ties talk about "primaries" and "campaigning" and "filibustering" when in reality almost everyone has a political stance.

Or maybe it's because there's more than a few dedicated conservative trolls who, with the mods blessings, fill up every topic with shameless, alt-right rhetoric.

Last poll I saw showed that it was much more equal than you'd expect, with it only leaning slightly left. Combine that with the fact that the far right posters and trolls tend to be much more vocal and obnoxious and you have your answer.

There was a poll just the other day that showed libertarians and conservatives just about tying liberals and socialists.

The alt right posters are very vocal, which is why.

Regular conservatives don't get much flack, but people like hoth, caution etc constantly troll so they are seen that way.

This pretty much. All the alt accounts with barely any karma that constantly pop up are far right trolls

Unfortunately there are a few very, VERY dedicated right-wing trolls who get involved in every topic and just keep posting unto infinity. I almost admire their dedication, almost.

No, I don't mean users like The Admiral or mal_fet. Those guys are legit, sure.

This is why I prefer to be in the middle.

Don't deal with the stupid of the right or stupid of the left.


Most people who claim to be in the middle are moderate leftist who do not want to be associated with radical sjws like antifa.

Anyway on topic : Despite bragging about being the silent majority, the right is actually the loud minority.
