No comment by anyone proves anyone is a liberal or conservative. No comment anyone posts proves anyone is anything. That's the nature of the site.

The user raises concern that a right leaning forum has right leaning filters but fails to mention you see that with some left leaning forums. Based on the shock this person has never visited a left subreddit. Does that mean he is right leaning? Or does this person seek out a right subreddit because they are doing research?

I would guess research because the shock tells us he doesn't visit these places often and he doesn't visit more conservative places lile truth social because they censor at a higher rate.

There is my reasoning. You're challenge is to disprove this.

I asked "how do you know," just admit you don't know, and are just guessing.

Saying "you are not a conservative" (not you but the comment you chose to defend) when you can't possibly know that is a ridiculous argument to make.

  • No one knows anything. Everything is an educated guess.

    I gave my best answer with logical points. What is yours? This is a process law enforcement goes through when moving from unknown to known. I like my theory but I am open to others that may conflict.

    • I don't say things like "you are not X" when I do not know whether a person is in fact X or not.

      I read all the same comments you did, and i didn't reach any particular conclusion about the person's politics. Your case is incredibly contrived, imo. A conservative who attempts to use a conservative forum and has a bad experience would have every right to talk about it. Why wouldn't they?
