I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Lol all you people are the bigots. With the whole "the paradox of intolerance means I HAVE to be intolerant. I don't choose bigotry, the world forced me into it!"

This has to be rage bait. Such an obvious and pathetic strawman. That is not what the paradox of intolerance means. It means that a society, in order to truly be considered tolerant, must not tolerate intolerance; allowing intolerance only lets it fester and spread, and soon you are no longer a tolerant society.

It's a hateful creed adopted by the left to not only excuse, but treat as a demand to be intolerant.

It may sound sensible in normal times, but you people literally define being conservative as making one intolerant. Of which half the country is. Your belief system literally demands hate and discrimination against half of our fucking population. So incredibly hateful and pathetic
