It’s so sad to see what has become of Reddit and the left in general lately.

They weren’t always like this. It’s a very recent phenomenon. It used to be that free speech went hand-in-hand with liberalism and that conservatives were the bad guys who wanted to censor everything. It’s really only been in the last decade or so that I’ve watched the tables turn and witnessed the left become the bad guys.

I blame the zoomers for this paradigm shift. It’s tragic to see what has become of “my people.” I used to proudly proclaim myself as a liberal but now I hesitate. I can’t tolerate censorship and lies.

"Liberal" to me still means "live and let live". This is something different.

Conservatives used to be the ones operating through collective dogma with the church. Now it seems they've changed sides on that.
