Tone of Voat reflects the actual mood of the West. (Conspiracy)

submitted ago by ardvarcus

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.

The thing about voat is that we're a small sample size, and everyone that is afraid of "offensive" opinions leaves.

I noticed this at least 2 years ago when I started getting involved with image boards. Any free and open online community always skews right. The only way left wing communities survive online is with heavy censorship and moderation, where the narrative is protected.

Last week I was banned from 3-4 subreddits for copypasting my comment on the trans military ban:

Combat veteran here. I agree with this.

A war zone is a shitty shitty place. I've gone weeks without a shower, in the middle of the desert, in the most filthiest conditions.

If there's a soldier who needs daily hormone treatment, and to gage their nuvagina for 5 hours a day, it's not going to happen in a war zone. Even a year after surgery, they still have to take hormones and gage their nuvagina. What happens when they aren't able to? Does their nuvagina seal up? Do they return to their original condition without access to their hormones?

These are things that the battlefield doesn't take into consideration.

Reasonable comment, upvoted everywhere I posted it, yet removed and banned from multiple subreddits. That's the only way to protect the narrative, the only way it can survive. With people speaking openly, they'll be able to deconstruct it, and offer alternative opinions that make more sense.

Any free and open online community always skews right.

Maybe it isn't skewing at all. Maybe it's just expressing accurately the popular sentiment, which is uncommon in our leftist-controlled media world.
