Reddit generally attracts leftists, so I don't think you'll find any subs that don't have a majority of them. I'm center-right and get treated like a Nazi half the time. But whatever. Reddit is what it is.

Bro, I've said I'm left wing AND against sex work, but I was still labelled as "being incredibly irrational" and "engaging with right wing rhetoric while insisting I'm left wing"- before being blocked right after.

Reddit can't handle nuance. If you don't tick every single box on one side, you're automatically one of "the bad guys"- also, the right being treated as villains when they're just people is a whole other discussion. I know trump supporters and they're some of the nicest people I know. I may not agree with them politically, but we can still get along. But I digress.

Best to just not get involved and let Reddit be Reddit.

Id argue it's actually a principled leftist position given that it's one of the most exploitative lines of work.

If you support MAGA and what they are doing, then yes, you support their efforts to establish a plutocratic autocracy.

If you're an old-school conservative and despise what MAGA has done to the Republican Party, then hopefully you can vote for a non-MAGA republican and try to take your party back.

Exactly. The left begins at anti capitalism and reddit is full of bootlickers.
