There was a post on science sub on reddi (read through redlib) about how conservatives change their stance based on context (hateful among themselves but pretend to be arguing in good faith when they see their shitty views might get challenged) and their argument was “you get dogpilled for shitty opinions on all of reddit but it doesn’t happen on conservative subs and asked people to prove that it happens”
But because conservative sub delete all the misaligned comments and posts, no one could “prove” it. This was how they proved the left was more aggressive than the right. The mental gymnastics is way over the top.
tldr; Conservatives think getting dogpiled for shitty opinions is worse than censorship they employ themselves to silence opposition. And since all major social media is built in a way censorship can’t be traced, they have the high ground.
