It's unbelievable how vocal the minority of conservatives on reddit have suddenly gotten in the one sub where a large demographic of important voters often interact. Hmmm. Coincidence?

I'm calling you a sealion, since that seems lost on you.

Telling others to subject themselves to terrible opinions for the sake of "not making an echo chamber" is absurd. This is even more absurd of a take when it deals with trying to counter a brigade or excluding intolerant fascists. They don't deserve our time or consideration.

That's not what is being called for. It was calling for action against people and their opinions which is fine in theory but is basically calling for polarization and brigadeing.

Your image and statement just highlights this. A moderate opinion being polarized. Hence my response.
