Just reading the pinned post on r/worldnews makes me recoil with the unending racism, genocide denial and the cheering of the killings. I wonder if most of the Westoids are just so far gone or purely evil.

Worldnews is miles worse than even any other subreddit. I have literally never seen a more astroturfed space. Other places on reddit go from neutral to being banned in Germany for having "from the river to the sea" as a banner

Hmm, so there is still a flickering ray of hope left.

This was probably one of the handful of times I went back to reddit in 2 years, hoping that the blatant genocide would have some sane noises rising up. I was stupid to think so.

It probably depends where you look, but I feel the most rational voices have largely left reddit. There's oasises here or there, but worldnews sure isn't going to be one.

At least this will be documented for our kids to see. They will never be able to deny or cover up that they were the ones who enabled the genocide.

I haven't looked at reddit for a long while, but I feel that being banned from worldnews was practically a rite of passage for leftists using reddit. I am not remotely surprised that they would be consistent about taking the worst stance possible.
