  • Any popular posts that involve a minority/enemy of right wingers doing something bad or sticking out get brigaded. A blatant example is PublicFreakout where threads are usually fairly normal unless it’s a black/arab/Indian person doing the antagonizing then pretty much all the top comments are dog or regular whistles. Similar “brigading” can happen even in a city subreddit similar to r/Canada even if they are regular users otherwise. If the post is good enough fodder the subreddit will suddenly resemble a klan meetup even if it’s usually otherwise “normal”.

    ActualPublicFreakout is an alternative that doesn’t need brigading because it’s already similar to WorldNews.

    I’m sorry at this point if you don’t see that Trump is a harmful idiot at best then I don’t know what to tell you. Also, fuck Biden too in case you think this is a US republican vs democrat thing because it’s not. People here are mostly left leaning and that extends beyond US politics and their democratic party. Is that a bad thing? Possibly but prominent self identified right wingers on the internet don’t really offer very compelling reasons to listen to them in all honesty.




  • Mostly word of mouth from communities/people who have somewhat similar tastes. As much as I dislike algorithms controlling most of what you see on the internet, I have them to thank for a lot of music recommendations via youtube.

    Books and games I usually pick up on ‘recommendation’ from someone since they’re longer commitments (someone talking about the game). For music and movies, I also use lists from places like rateyourmusic and imdb so I can get a sense of what that person likes by looking at the stuff I recognize.
