Reddit is more than just left wing. Reddit is THE far left. And if some of the folks I've seen who were supposedly on there before even Obama became president are to be believed, it's always been like that.

As of this writing, it's been just about two years since I got permanently banned from that putrid website for the simple "crime" of not being as far left as humanly possible. Let me tell you, that was a great day.

My Gen X parents recognize this all too well, to the point where they sometimes call me (Gen Z) an "honorary member of Gen X."

In my opinion, it's strange. I've never thought that the way I conduct myself is really exceptional in any way, but compared to some of my so-called "peers" it arguably is. The more time I spend on the Internet (and even in public, occasionally), the more shocked I am by how so many people my age seem to get off on being incredibly disrespectful and antisocial for no reason whatsoever. Some of them also seem to view being unintelligent as something to boast about, which is actually kind of terrifying.

I don't claim to be perfect in any way. However, compared to some of the people I've met, I'd say I'm not doing too badly.
