That reddit group was just banned, 23 November, 00:01 UTC

Wow, I saw that this morning. I really wonder what effect it will have. For now the discussion will move to r/conspiracy, and possibly voat.co.

Will they ban r/conspiracy too? I'll delete my reddit account instantly and never visit the site again if they do.

I guess the comments about the new right being technocrats may be true.

Why do you think the comments are representative of the "new right"? I don't know that they are not, but I haven't seen much evidence that they are.

My instinct --- based on the apparent assumptions of a universal morality and the horrified reactions to the 'provocative' art --- is that a sizable number of the posters are religious and socially conservative, traits I associate more with the "old right" than the "new right".

More generally, I don't think a "right"/"left" split is the right lens to view this with. What sort of insight do you think it provides?
