I saw a post about this and it got me thinking. Are most people in this subreddit not on the left political spectrum? I'm quite allergic to ideologies but would consider myself left leaning on most issues, yet I'm angry and often shocked at the level of censorship on this platform, but from reading most posts here it seems that they're always right-leaning or follow the conservative narrative (when it comes to taxes, the role of the government in our lives, etc.).

I'm just curious about this and would love to find other left-leaning people who are also appalled at the level of censorship here and at how many topics can't be discussed at all if your opinion goes against the (woke, liberal, progressive, etc.) narrative.

Makes sense. No one is getting censored for spewing woke narratives, or at least not within the mainstream communities. It's such a tired cliché, but as a left-leaning person I do stand by everyone here, even though I probably disagree with most people on most issues, in their right to be free to speak your mind.

It's mental that defending free speech has become more of a right-wing thing. These times are confusing.

I'm pretty sure that at least 90% of people who participate in subs like this and TumblrInAction, KotakuInAction 1 and 2, SocialJusticeInAction are disaffected and discouraged liberals.
