At least here it feels more like sporadic idiots with their own unique blend of conspiracy theories. On reddit, it feels more like hordes of zombies all repeating the same narrative.

Sporadic? The right-wing conspiracy shit is constant. I can't even recommend Saidit to my friends that don't like Reddit, because the conspiracy theorists have even more of a presence on here than the liberals do on Reddit.

The mental gymnastics you have to accomplish to think the massive progressive dogma groupthink on reddit and the extremely various, differing, and at times horrifying opinions here is amazing.

Conspiracy theorists at least think, and somewhat reason. You can even attempt to hold a conversation and there exists the possibility you can change their mind.

Redditors, a good 95% of them are generally stupid, literally. There are a few, between 5 and 10% who are smart and highly indoctrinated or agenda driven, and they generally give the masses their narrative and taking points.

It's the very reason, that unless you're chatting with one of the 5%ers, it's quite possible you will have more success relieving a headache by staring at The sun while dancing circus monkeys slap symbols by your ears.

The truth of it is, liars and cheats like conspiracy theorists are bad. But not even closeto being as dangerous to the Republic or to you as individuals as the stupid.

Progressivism is not the problem. Fake-progressivism is.

Nothing is authentic nor progressive about the Regressive Democrat propaganda infesting corporate interwebs.

Don't mistake the old-left for the CIA/corporatocracy's New And Improved Far Left™, now with bacon-flavoured BLM and sweet-loving SJWs loaded with fat trans sprinkles.

To swallow it makes most folks gag, but some people bend over, take it deep, and virtue signal.
