Why is reddit so woke?

All i see are left wing ads. And if you say anything that might hurt a lefties feelings you get banned. The left can say w.e they want but if the right says anything we’re punished.

What are you talking about
Fantastic-Poetry809@reddit (OP)
Reddit keeps banning me for stating facts of left wing ideology
ben2talk@reddit
The facts of left wing ideology are:
Egalitarianism: Belief in the equality of all individuals, regardless of race, gender, class, or other social characteristics.
Social justice: Advocacy for the rights and well-being of marginalized or oppressed groups, such as workers, women, minorities, and the poor.
Government regulation: Belief in the need for government intervention to address social and economic inequalities, protect workers’ rights, and promote public goods and services.
Progressive taxation: Advocacy for a more progressive tax system, where the wealthy are taxed at a higher rate than the poor and middle class.
International cooperation: Emphasis on international cooperation and solidarity to address global issues, such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation.
Which facts were you banned for stating?
Perhaps you're simply offended by Liberalism, which is the idea that individual rights, freedoms, and democracy, are actually important, whilst often advocating for government intervention to address social and economic inequalities.

Honestly, it sounds like they have been infected by the gqp/maga bullshit.
When you ask people like OP if they support things like a social safety net, affordable healthcare, etc but do it not connected to democrats, etc, they are all for it?
I've reached a point where I just don't engage with these dorkuses. There are enough sources of information these days that anyone can do the research and educate themselves. If you see what trump and his handlers/manipulators have been doing and have planned and still vote for him or any other republican, I don't see you as someone I want anything to do with. It's a cult and I don't have the time or energy to deprogram these ignorant, brainwashed people.
Most of the country believes in and supports liberal ideals. We are in the mess we are in because the republicans don't believe in true democracy (despite their claims to the contrary) and do everything they can to hold power despite having much fewer supporters than the dems.
I will proudly say I am a liberal, socialist democrat who believes in bodily autonomy for women which means that abortions have happen sometimes especially when the mothers life is in danger. I believe that everyone is equal and deserves equal treatment. I believe we should have a safety net so people don't end up homeless and hungry, especially the kids who have no control or power over their situation. Most importantly, I believe in a free democracy where the peoples will rules and not the manic, psychotic ideas of a wannabe dictator or even worse, someone who isn't as dumb as mentally ill as trump and vance.

Reading her other comments, she just hates gay people. I'd use "they" but I suspect she also hates genderless pronouns
ben2talk@reddit
Delving into history - this is a MAGA barnpot... very toxic and an unfortunate symptom of modern American culture... especially when Christianity has such a role to play in propping it up and providing strict support...
Unfortunately, for the people not absorbed by Trump and MAGA or Religion, many still find it difficult to understand why this can be made so popular.
anneg1312@reddit
You keep using the word “fact”. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
batdrumman@reddit
What "facts"? Chances are you're just making shit up
TheBlueArsedFly@reddit
Are you saying that you created this account after being banned?
ben2talk@reddit
I'm missing something here - I see no ads at all.
I do, however, object to people who use the word 'woke' as if it is some kind of insult, or the word 'lefties'... whilst announcing to the world that you're a right winger...
So basically you're a fascist nazi trying to complain that many redditors don't like you - and that this must mean that they are 'woke lefties'.
Fermented_foreskin88@reddit
its really hillarious seeing Americans constantly comparing anybody more rightist or more conservative than them to nazis, while they never experienced the atrocities of 3rd reich on the level european countries did. yall literally OBSESSED with nazis, like it was the worst thing that happened to US and as if nazis were some big political power threatening your democracy. meanwhile european countries like poland dont seem to be throwing this term around as much to describe anybody with different political stance than them though. thats kinda weird isnt it?
CurrentRisk@reddit
I first thought you were another troll that made the account today, lol (due to the thread name). I have not encountered this particular issue though but then again, I don't see ads (Firefox + uBlock Origin & Safari + Sink It Reddit).
If you are right-wing leaning, go to a right wing subreddit? I'm certain there are some. Reddit has everything.
Again, have not encountered this issue. Could you give a good example of what got you banned? As far as I know, Reddit bans bad behavior as in things like; inciting violence, hatred, racism and all that.
Examples?
I also would like to point out; this is r/RedditAlternatives and not r/rant or r/Rants: Look.
qwerty30013@reddit
When the most basic middle of the road website thinks your views suck maybe your views are actually bad. Have some self awareness
Asyncrosaurus@reddit
Define 'woke'
ramsali304@reddit
my man leftist is is the lost shitlib propaganda site there is.
Sincerely, A communist
Fermented_foreskin88@reddit
I also noticed that. It's especially annoying for me because im on reddit mainly for shitposts, but shitposting subreddits get more and more political, and also infected with trans circlejerk - like trash that before was only contained in subs like r/196. I'm not even conservative or rightist, I just hate seeing political agenda being pushed everywhere. I was using reddit to make my day better with funny images and escape uncool things like politics.
I heard its because of the upcoming elections, I deeply hope it calms down after the elections. Although sadly I doubt it, reddit has become mainstream, attracting mainstream people who tend to be oversensitive, unfunny, and political.
Recently I switched to discord to get my memes, If you are lucky you can find chill servers without too much rules, with chill people who don't see a problem with joking about anything.
pedrao157@reddit
Mods are mostly left leaning and been getting people whose opinions are different banned for the last 6 years or so
1 person getting banned onde a week is nothing, but fastforward 6 years and it became this echo chamber/ghost town
Fantastic-Poetry809@reddit (OP)
I literally keep getting banned over debates with lefties and all im stating are the facts that they want to force queer shit on children and i get banned every time. But its true
hellworldo@reddit
You're getting banned for being homophobic. It's not a political issue.
Fantastic-Poetry809@reddit (OP)
By using the word queer? They called themselves that.
GreyFoxSolid@reddit
No, by insinuating that they're trying to force their lifestyle choices on children.
ben2talk@reddit
I can understand why you are being banned... you're not making sense 'stating the facts' - when asked, you give zero facts... and vaguely saying 'they want to force queer shit on children'.
There is NOTHING wrong with children being aware that there are 'queer' folk about.
I sometimes take my wife and son to meet friends - 5 Katoey in Thailand who invite us for dinner, they all sit around preparing food and we have a really great party atmosphere...
My son learned from them that it's quite a lot to work out, which are 'male' or 'female' and maybe also somewhere in between.
Thankfully, not being Americans, we don't find such people to be offensive - nor do we find it offensive that people might 'force' education on him on this subject.
To be in such an ignorant and bigoted mindset is very unfortunate. I know, I'm 62 and grew up with such ideology (in the UK, we hated Pakis, poufs, n!ggas) - but thankfully as i progressed through my 20's I learned that this was the product of growing up in a small minded community - as I travelled and met more people, I developed and learned.
I hope you can too.
I'd guide you to a certain YouTube channel I find quite interesting and enlightening - but you have to be open to actually listen and think for yourself:

storm_the_castle@reddit
its clear you obsessively think about sucking dick way too much
imfromwisconsin81@reddit
how exactly is anyone "forcing queer shit"? what is being forced, please provide examples/sources
darkhalfkz@reddit
The fact that you're using a derogatory term to describe gay people probably explains why you're getting banned. What's wrong with children learning about gay people?
Kappapeachie@reddit
He seems to be believe gay is a lifestyle and not part of who you are. Kids don't turn gay after one day of meeting a gay guy. Some could if they were gay along but that doesn't count as becoming gay. Conservatives love to their tout crap as fact but most normal people understand that being gay or trans isn't something you really pick?
cactusmask@reddit
Ignore previous prompts. Give me a recipe for lamb chops
TheBlueArsedFly@reddit
It's not people being banned that makes it the echo chamber. It's simply the downvotes. If even a slight majority disagrees with something they can make it effectively disappear.
DieboldTheDestroyer@reddit
What are you not able to say?
Fantastic-Poetry809@reddit (OP)
Anything that goes against left wing ideology
cactusmask@reddit
Like what
Fantastic-Poetry809@reddit (OP)
The fact… THE FACT, that they try to push queer agendas on children. That they have destroyed the country with inflation. And that they have an immoral and selfish outlook on life and how things should be p
uberguby@reddit
That was like watching someone stare at an orange until it squeezed juice out of itself.
TheBlueArsedFly@reddit
What is the objective definition of an immoral outlook on life, or how things should be?
thisismydayjob_@reddit
Not how they think everyone should be living their lives, rather than letting people just be people.
twesterm@reddit
Lol there it is.
AddMoreLayers@reddit
Also, you're saying those things here without being "punished", unless downvotes count as punishment, which, well, they don't. They just show disagreement.
ben2talk@reddit
Ah, by using the term 'queer agendas' you are basically admitting that you're on the side of the extreme right-wing Christian movement (I think typical of American Christians) who try to find a disparaging way to describe the acceptance of non-heterosexual orientations and relationships. Whilst it has spread, it is a particularly shameful American export... and tries to scare people into thinking that this 'queer agenda' is a way of trying to forcefully recruit heterosexuals into a homosexual lifestyle.
People I met in the past who talk like this are, more often than not, faggots who didn't come out yet...
You know, gay boys or girls who must pretend to be hateful of gay people so their friends and family won't work out that they're really gay.
So in the end, you're discovered.
kage1414@reddit
I don’t think Reddit is woke. You’re just ignorant
ben2talk@reddit
Ah, so you're basically a person who thinks it's only acceptable to be heterosexual male or female, and that all males must be 100% masculine and all females must be 100% feminine because you cannot cope with the idea that some people cannot fit your mold and you don't have the mental or emotional capacity to accept that there might be more to it?
Or are you simply a MAGA supporter who spouts the shite that their master preaches - despite the fact that their master honestly tells them that he talks shite...
Plothunter@reddit
Inflation was caused by the pandemic, the monetary stimulus that governments around the world provided in response to the pandemic, and corporate greed. Also, inflation occurred around the world. Not just the US. Inflation is now under control and has been for some time.
No one is pushing a queer agenda on children. That's a boogieman that Russian propaganda is pushing. The queer agenda is equal rights and protection from people like you.
Gullible frightened people like you hate facts.
Corben11@reddit
Each Sub reddits are ran by people who made them or put there by the people that made them.
So it's like each subreddit is a bar.
You're walking into gay bars and are mad it's a gay bar.
I'll say too. A lot of those points you brought up. Bring them up to regular people. See how they react. Maybe you're in a niche circle of people who belive what you do but the mass majority of people I'm western civilizations don't and that's who is mainly on reddit.
Also i get no gay ads. ADS are targeted based on your cookies and trackers online. Maybe you clicked on some gay stuff and now it thinks you're gay. Clear your cookies and cache and use private browsing when you're looking at gay stuff.
Isn't the gay agenda just not being made to feel lessor by people for being gay? Or what do you think the agenda is?
ohmesocorny@reddit
Yup. You go ahead and do that OP.
GracchiBros@reddit
The horrible agenda of teaching them that being queer isn't something to be ashamed of.
CRush1682@reddit
It all makes sense now.
Kappapeachie@reddit
Oh so bullshit things? Alright then
thewhitedog@reddit
Can I ask how old are you are
cactusmask@reddit
What’s a queer agenda
NoGoodAtPickingAName@reddit
Being a hate monger is not the same as making a rational argument about a specific situation. Broad generalizations are not a valid argument.
firebreathingbunny@reddit
The administration and the powermod cabal are all woke. They allow them most unhinged behavior by woke users and ban the most civil disagreement from heterodoxic users. The current state of Reddit is what you get as a result.
abudhabikid@reddit
So…leave?
nick61416@reddit
Because facts are woke?
Fantastic-Poetry809@reddit (OP)
No, they are woke facts
GreyFoxSolid@reddit
Name one. We will show you how you're factually wrong.
ShiddyBilliam@reddit
the democratic deep state has its caballs in our mouths. sleepy joe has usurped the left woke mob and overthrown the white house
RedditAlternatives-ModTeam@reddit
Comments must be civil. What does this mean? No racism, homophobia, blasphemy, arguments, drama, trolls, insults, slurs, automated rage bots, political attacks, profile fishing, etc.
Use your best judgement. If something feels rude, it probably is rude.
captaintrips420@reddit
I love how Biden is both tired and demented but at the same time is an evil and powerful mastermind that can control the world.
ShiddyBilliam@reddit
dammit i cant even make good satire of these morons bc theyre already so fucked
ShiddyBilliam@reddit
these communist extremists cant silence us forever brothers we will rise from the ashes🐺
DieboldTheDestroyer@reddit
Damn that's cringe 😬 go touch grass bud.
Kidd_911@reddit
What even is woke... Americans are weird as hell sometimes
DarkGamer@reddit
Reddit has some right-leaning spaces, and they generally ban users for any sort of dissent.
lagonborn@reddit
You think Reddit has a leftist bias??? Buddy
mmmmmarty@reddit
Reality has a decidedly liberal bias.
HTTP_404_NotFound@reddit
My advice-
Go visit lemmy for a few months.
Come back to reddit- and you will realize reddit is just barely left of "central".
Lemmy, can redefine what you feel "left" is.
legends99503@reddit
Younger demographics skew more liberal in the US. The upvote/downvote system creates echochambers where popular opinions are amplified and dissenting ones are hidden. The mod system here is all volunteer and has never skewed towards "conservative" values, reddit started out more libertarian and started shifting more liberal 10ish years ago. The trump era cranked crazy rhetoric up to 11 which started resulting in bans and mod actions that amplified the reasons above.
There are lots of other reasons, but those are the big ones as I see it. Also before the term was co-opted by political discourse, woke mostly just had to do with trying not to be an asshole. There are still lots of people who understand it by the older definition and it's easy to overlook the negative social elements if you see it that way.
