Is anyone else noticing an uptick in far-right content and Russian propaganda on reddit lately?

To me it almost seems like reddit has started pushing it.

    Yeah, as far as I can tell, American Democrats have just created there own version of secular Christianity, where there’s just ontologically a single source of all evil on Earth and that’s Putin. It basically means that domestic fascism is basically given a free parse, and leaves liberals trying to prevent the slide into fascism with ultranationalism, xenophobia, militancy and McCarthiest paranoia, which doesn’t work for obvious reasons.

      Yes if Putin is responsible for all problems, then the only solution to everything is to be angrier at Russia.

        Yeah, that’s what I mean. Currently the democrats don’t seem very interested in actually taking action at all to address their situation, but if they actually tried to do something, how could it not just be McCarthiest purges of “Russian assets”, government censorship of “Russian propaganda” and belligerent militarism. Essentially it seems like the Democrats have rendered themselves ideologically incapable of meaningfully opposing the fascist slide.
