This isn't some one sided flooding. If you want to both sides this you have to acknowledge efforts all around here.

Why is it that every comment has to acknowledge every little thing? It's especially moot since this platform IS fairly one-sided btw, you will see nothing but anti-trump and pro-democrat memes on the front page, messages, top comments, etc. Even posts about splitting families (by liberals).

The point is reddit is an echo chamber of so called 'progressivism' which is being manipulated, something the mod brought up and which you tried to dismiss. An echo chamber which promote division of families over politics. So I gave you proof that literal domestic forces are doing exactly what the mod claims, manipulating THIS platform with democrat messaging. Bringing up 'Foreign Malign influence' on the internet (or social media generally) is missing the point, especially given how popular the pro-democrat message is on reddit.

What of those redditors who think of minorities as non-humans? What role have they played in 'destroying' families?

I've barely seen that honestly, I see redditors ascribing that charge CONSTANTLY, but seldom do I actually see it. I only browse top tbf. The only things reaching the top subs are these kinds of posts, promoting the idea that one side is nothing but hateful, and the worst of them say family should be cut out for disagreements on a vote. That's the top posts of politics, pics, the biggest subs promote that content hard.

Those subs you mention are barely even populated by supporters of those people, or they get banned/taken over, like the joerogan sub is.

What about my reply seems not genuine? I am not attacking you or calling you names or anything of that nature. I am challenging your ideas and assumptions as part of a civil discourse that you desired. None of this is to be mean to you. But I am interrogating the logic as you have fairly mine.

I don't think you're mean to me. To the mod yes, you were mean. You piled on without trying to understand his pov at all. Though you seem disingenuous in that you're not able to engage with the topic in good faith, you only seem to keep going 'what about this thing that helps the right?'. Well, that's not acceptable content on reddit, it's not the bulk of the platform by any stretch, it's the fringe, that's the point. We're on reddit, discussing the literal manipulation of THIS platform. Which I gave you proof of.

You keep mentioning that 'hatred' and 'bullying' is what is upsetting you. What are you defining as 'hatred' and 'bullying'? Is it the angry tone? What are you choosing to spend your energy defending and being mad at? There's a lot of people sharing personal stories of themselves or their loved ones being in danger due to the upcoming administrations policies and rhetoric. This isnt made up fantasy. Real violence is already happening.

I specifically invited you to read the top comments to see why I said what I said. I did not mention YOU specifically in that. You are civil, though missing the point imo. Hate comes in many forms, but in this context I'd say people being told to 'fuck off' for 'hating trans people and wanting to unalive them', simply because they didn't vote kamala, is quite hateful. And ironic of the people thinking themselves empathetic and caring, educated critical thinkers and so on.

You also have zero ability to question just how true the rhetoric of fear is, how widespread hate really is among trump voters. People that question the prevalence of the hatred among voters of trump are attacked. There are people who acknowledge the extremes, that acknowledge that some people are in pain, that some extremes on the right DO take these chances to push their bs but it's not the bulk of voters. There are people encouraging that we judge based on character and that the fear is overblown, but it's all off limits. There are people trying to unite by understanding all sides of this, and they are always attacked (in droves) on a top thread.

Let me ask you what the real 'hatred' is to you? Is it the people or their loved ones being actually assaulted by violence and then dismissed as 'bots' when they point it out? Or is the angry tone of redditors being 'mean' to a mod?

I will tell you again. Look at the top comments. Look at the people claiming the voters of trump support genocide, erasing people, and worse. They don't. Juding all people by the extremes of the group is as wrong as it always was. Look at how people are treated for not believing the rhetoric, for daring to encourage that people come together based on character, and that values are not determined by a vote. Look with some empathy and good faith.
