I think ultimately your problem is that ideas that were normalized to you on reddit-logo just don't hold up to scrutiny, and even the academic neoliberal consensus on most of these issues is different from what predditors treat as self-evident. Enculturation is like that, and I wish you a speedy recovery.

What actually is that Stormfront reddit thing?

It's an emoji, they have a lot of them on hexbear

the joke is that stormfront was (is) an infamous white supremacist board and your average reddit commentor is basically indistinguishable from that

for extra context, someone told me that its a screenshot of the old r/stormfront sub from back when reddit just didn't give a single shit that the website was possibly the largest combined nazi / pedo bar on the internet at the time because they just didnt crack down on that stuff at all

Congratulations then, you're the pinnacle of humanity, unburdened with living among ideology like the rest of us sloppy piggies.

You are not immune to propaganda

Apparently the problem with a state putting down a popular protest through overwhelming force and censoring all coverage or discussion of the event is that acknowledging atrocities is wrongthink.
