The other day I called the politics stream an “echo chamber”

But your definition is more concise and to-the-point

That said, if you sort politics stream by “new” you’ll get a much wider variety of content

But the fact not a single one of those non-alt right memes has ever, ever hit the front page is very telling

One time I achieved the feat with a bland centrist meme praising MLK on MLK day. They had the decency to upvote that. That’s about it.

They were, as they love to say, virtue signaling. I went back and checked the MLK meme you posted below and there are trogs like Karen1972 espousing his virtues but calling Obama a race baiter...absolute nonsense.

“MLK was great... but every other black politician/civil rights activist who came after him betrayed his legacy!!!”

Horseshit. Worth noting too MLK was starting to become more controversial toward the end of his life as he shifted focus to the Vietnam War and economic justice.

Here’s that meme with a link. imgflip.com/i/3moytj

Perhaps they interpreted it as a dig against modern-day civil rights activists and that’s why they upvoted. Or maybe they were genuine about it. Who knows.

Glad you qualified with title. Politics TOO is so bad as far as form goes.
