Yup, I'd agree. But again our politics shouldn't need to align, that's not my yardstick at all. It's more the whiplash/volatility between such opposing strong opinions that spooks me.

Yeah, it's just funny that some people are using that yardstick here and now when it never seemed like the political views of the Reddit admin were a problem until they took away the mobile phone apps.

That's true, and the Reddit administrators are ardent neoliberals, but that's just the thing: People don't call things "political" until it's "politics that I disagree with" [or, sometimes, explicitly dealing with the topic of politicians/elections]. The reddit emigrants had no problem with neoliberalism being pushed hard on reddit with zero transparency because they themselves are liberals.
