    There seems to be a correlation between civility and willingness to put up with spez. If you’re willing to put up with all the bs he’s been spewing since this started, you’re less civil. All the respectful people came here, or are finding other replacements. People who don’t care stayed, and it shows.

      Fear the people that love peace and quiet, for they will do anything to get it.

      Makes a lot of sense. Its a fun y microcosm for this kind of conservative attitude that is permeating through society. “No, change is scary and we will not only be against it, but will also be actively hostile towards it.”

        “People should be free to spout hate and bigotry with no consequences.” The difference between reddit and real life is that people who don’t want to deal with that bullshit don’t have to move, they can just not use the site.

      spez is right-wing, thus right-wingers tend to side with him. Hope he enjoys his site full of his low-effort shitposting buddies!
