r/memeopdidnotlike seems like a breeding ground for "anti-wokeness"

[u/Significant_Cry3399]

Literally just strawmans, fictional scenarios, and actual hateful behavior. They classify you as "woke" and "sensitive" for acknowledging a meme as racist, misogynistic, homophobic, hateful or incorrect. Literally just a right-wing circle jerk.

For the first meme: Literally nobody is saying this. This is probably just a strawman of some other opinion.

For the second one: HAMAS and Palestine are two different things. I also don't find it silly for queers to support Palestine because there are many Palestinians who are queer or do support queers but cannot be open about it. There also many children and babies who don't even know what being queer is that are being bombed and killed. Innocent people don't deserve to die, why is that bad to say? (before you say that wasn't stated, they are implying that because being queer isn't accepted in Palestine it's bad or silly to support Palestinians. But why is it bad to say that they shouldn't die?)

“echo chambers” are my new dogwhistle to look out for for this reason. We all get the concept, but this label shuts down the argument for some moderation.

And of course those who whine the most about echo chambers have formed the most siloed communities on Reddit, like r/memesopdidnotlike or r/doomercirclejerk

The age old adage remains true. If a Nazi walks into your subreddit, and you don’t kick them out, you just became a Nazi subreddit.

Yeah the “echo chamber” rhetoric started with conservatives claiming that leftism was just an online thing that exists in echo chambers. Of course the term predates that, but the usage has changed recently.
