I was just thinking as I read successive posts in Voat how much the overall tone of this site differs from that of Reddit. The vast majority of posts here could be catagorized as right wing or nationalist or conservative. Yet this is an open forum, a genuinely open forum unlike Reddit. What does that tell us? It tells us that public opinion is overwhelmingly conservative, and that Reddit's presentation of public opinion is strongly and artificially skewed to the left.
I see the same nationalist, conservative opinions in the comments sections of Web sites when those comment sections are not censored. When people are free to express themselves, the majority of them express conservative views, not liberal views. The liberal fascists control the media, but they can't control public opinion, they can only distort and mask it.

I'M not sure your logic is sound. Not meaning offence but because a small/medium forum is a certain way you cannot infer it is representative of general society. It could be the site serves a niche audience couldn't it?

But Voat is completely free of censorship (as far as I can determine). Everyone, left or right, sane or crazy, is free to express what they want to express. The only conclusion I can draw is that the audience isn't niche at all, but the norm, which has been artificially skewed by the leftist media bias.

Voat is slightly censored, but only for business reasons as opposed to duality expressions, as you describe.
