Reddit on defaults is a crazy experience.

Subs with names like /r/wowlookatthis are posting blatant "west bad" propaganda. Making USA and EU people feel bad.

Yet I walk outside in Sweden and I'm in one of the best functioning and beautiful nations in the world. Yet Swedish Reddit will post "west bad" propaganda on how everything is right wing doom. I mean from their perspective, sure... but so so so wrong they are. I just hope they get some refugees in their houses.

I have some curated subreddits I use for work related stuff. For politics it is suffering. Now watch the left think it is due to right wing dominance. Wake up. All default subs are left wing crazy.

Worldnews bans you instantly if you disagree with Israel. That's a default sub, yeah? Left or right wing?

Is the topic of Israel and Palestine truly that decisive across some binary party lines? I know people with a wide range of opinions both sides. I feel like it's more loud social media echo chambers than some sort of political schism.

The comment you're replying to is refuting the parent's statement that all default Reddit subs are "left wing".

I understand, but I don't agree the with GP's implication. I don't truly believe the opinions on Israel is enough to categorize one sub as being left or right wing. It's a delicate and highly debated topic, hence why I would consider Worldnews to be an echo chamber, at least on that particular topic.

It's divisive across left and right. Not across US party lines since both of them are right.

Now do /r/news or /r/politics , instant band for anything not leftist.

Do they ban you for opposing Israel?

I made up a subreddit.

But check out r/pics & r/interestingasfuck

They are crazy especially after Oct 7. Constant pro-pali posts.

/r/sweden is a leftie craphole. same with /r/tillsverige and /r/svenskpolitik
