Reddit, a link-aggregating website that claims to be the “front page of the internet,” has turned into a hotbed for radicalization. Reddit’s fundamental reliance on upvotes over an algorithm produces an unstable equilibrium in the hands of bad-faith moderators. This creates an incredible echo chamber made up of subreddits, which create groups of individuals who will gladly throw away their empathy as long as they view themselves as a “bastion of good” fighting those who are ontologically evil.Very revealing article about how the radicals at Reddit are running the asylum.

In other words, Reddit has become the cesspool Twitter was pre-Elon.

I don't really know exactly what "Reddit" is....have heard of it, but never had any interest in learning more about whatever it is. Some sort of a web site....yes, but beyond that ....maybe a chat site? Don't know, don't care to know. I studiously avoid all this 'social media' stuff.

Reddit is huuuge message board system where anyone can create a new topic. You become the moderator/god of the topic areas (subs) you create. They're a subs for every topic imaginable. It isn't only a political site but it certainly has plenty of political subs. I don't read those. I go there for video game cheats and tips. A friend reads the bird watching sub. And so on. But the moderators of the more popular subs are pretty much a bunch of sociopaths living in their mother's basement but nothing forces anyone to read or post on subs they don't like. Reddit is looking to IPO in the next year or so but say they aren't profitable. They also currently have the largest several hundred sub moderators at war with the company having essentially shut their subs off to the public over the pricing of some obscure technical features only moderators and advanced users care about. Unlikely they'll still be around in a few years so the whole thing is moot anyway.

Former President Donald Trump blasted President Joe Biden’s address to the nation earlier in the week calling it the most "vicious" speech ever given by an American president. "This week, Joe Biden came to Philadelphia to give the most vicious, hateful, and divisive speech ever delivered by an American president," Trump told a raucous crowd on Saturday night in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, while campaigning for Republican candidates in the commonwealth.

Secretary of State Tony Blinken traveled to China this past weekend to give the green light to the communist regime to invade Taiwan. The Biden regime is destroying America from within and surrendering our principles and leadership on the international stage at the same time. As Steve Bannon says, “Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.” Tony Blinken made this announcement from mainland China, “We do not support Taiwan independence.”

A submersible that is missing deep under the Atlantic with five people on board after diving for the wreck of the Titanic resembles a 'kit car' built from 'parts you can get from Amazon', a former Royal Navy admiral said today. Chris Parry described the small craft, named Titan, as 'very flimsy and fragile' - as a journalist who once sat inside claimed it features lights from a camping shop, off the shelf CCTV cameras and salvaged metal pipes for ballast. The sub - which consists of a five-inch thick carbon fibre tube about the size of a minivan with a 22-inch Plexiglas window at one end -

ABC News, a company owned by Disney, published a sympathetic profile about parents in Texas who claim their child came out as transgendered at age 3. "When she was 3, one day, she told me, ‘I'm a girl person,’ a parent told ABC News in a story published Sunday. It was National Daughters Day "and she said, ‘Can I be your daughter?’ – which made me cry," the mother, who went by "Susan" for the story, told ABC News. The child is now 7 years old and was referred to as Elsa, a character from the Disney movie "Frozen," in the piece. Her parents "asked that she be referred

A marine heatwave is traveling from the coast of West Africa to Iceland, creating the most extreme conditions witnessed in the North Atlantic in all of recorded history. The roughly 4,000-mile-long stretch of superheated water is encircling the coast of West Africa, Europe and the United Kingdom, all the way up to Iceland and the tip of Greenland, according to graphics shared by meteorologist Colin McCarthy and others. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is describing the phenomenon, which could have dire consequences if it continues, as a Category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave. (Tweet)

President Joe Biden said Monday that Juneteenth is about “reading books, not banning them,” in an apparent reference to efforts to ban pornographic books from children’s libraries. “Juneteenth is about Americans feeling the progress we can make for America. It’s about remembering history, not erasing it. It’s about reading books, not banning them. That’s what great nations do, and we are a great nation,” the president said in a tweet.(Tweet) Biden has made his fight against book banning a key part of his reelection campaign, featuring a clip about the issue in his 2024 launch video.

At the end of the William Barr segment on the June 18 “Face the Nation,” co-moderator Robert Costa asked, “Trump was indicted and arraigned in the records case. Do you believe is a target, potentially in the January 6 case? Barr said, “Yes. And, by the way, I defended him on cases that I think are unfair, like the one up in New York and so forth. I think the January 6 case will be a hard case to make because of First Amendment interest. But I am actually beginning to think they will pull the trigger on that. I would expect it to be this summer.” If Barr were an honorable

The first rule of Federal Indictment Club is: you don’t talk about your case. And the second rule of Federal Indictment Club is: you don’t talk about your case, period. You hire a good lawyer or two and let them talk about your case in public. The surest way to help the prosecution is to go on television and make a damaging admission about the key element of a charge. Sort of like … this: TRUMP: ‘We never got this stuff, this back. Can we please, please, could we have it back?’ BAIER: And they did ask for it? TRUMP: [crosstalk] They have no — no — BAIER: And

Fox News Channel's Bret Baier told former President Donald Trump during a contentious interview that aired Monday night that he was the loser of the 2020 election - something the 2024 Republican hopeful still denies. The back-and-forth continued to get heated when Baier asked Trump how he would be able to recruit good people to work for him at the White House for a second term. Baier noted how in recent days Trump had called former Attorney General Bill Barr a 'gutless pig' and said his ex-Chief of Staff John Kelly was 'born with a [very] small brain.'

Prophet Mayor Eric Adams! Not only has he known he’d have the Big Apple’s top job for at least three decades, Hizzoner revealed God has visited him several times to help him plan for the role and most recently instructed him to publicly preach about his faith. “Thirty something years ago I woke up, out of my sleep in a cold sweat. God spoke to my heart and said, ‘You are going to be the mayor January 1, 2022,” Adams described the divine encounter during a Father’s Day mass at the Lenox Road Baptist Church on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn on Sunday.

Two of Europe’s largest energy firms are pivoting from green energy back to their core oil and gas businesses, a move that industry experts tell the Daily Caller News Foundation signals a willingness to take political hits as oil and gas continue to be major sources of revenue. Both Shell and fellow U.K. energy firm BP opted against further cuts to oil production recently, in a bid to restore investor confidence as their renewable ventures struggled, according to Bloomberg. While the moves were met with criticism from climate-focused investors — activist investors and protestors attempted to storm the stage at Shell’s annual shareholder meeting in late May — the companies are
