Reddit is radicalizing people to the left and widening the divide among the population

I couldn't find a lot of places that would let me post this. Lots of "no politics" rules or "no meta" rules. It's almost like they don't want the flaws of the site being pointed out.

Lately I've seen news stories pop up and go viral that are completely fabricated and misleading. The truth sometimes comes out but doesn't reach nearly the amount of people that saw the lie. Same playbook as Fox News when they have to retract a story. Millions of cops in this country and a handful of stories here will drive millions to ACAB mentality. Valid criticism in many of those interactions, but it doesn't warrant creating animosity towards an entire group of people who are out there trying to earn a living.

People on reddit will say how "the right" is being manipulated by their media and what's being put in front of their face, but are blind to how it's happening to them when it's information supporting their own beliefs.

Very toxic and hypocritical when so much time is spent calling out the same issue on "the other side." I'm sure this is an intentional tactic to divide the population. It's easier for the ultra elites to rob us blind when we're arguing with each other.
