I just noticed that there are quite a few users on Reddit from r/WorldNews who are defending Israel unequivocally
They're here too, and one of them is a mod of quite a few communities.

I checked r/worldnews a few days ago and the comment is absolutely flooded with pro-israel and mainly support the disproportionate respond. Any anti-israel comment will either downvoted to hell or removed. I thought astro-turfing, but then i guess you don't really need to get paid to defend something unethical.
Or maybe they're israeli, there's a lot of israeli enjoying the slaughter and even called it "Pallywood", the term coined by conspiracy theorist in early 2000, arguing the Palestinian has been faking their death.
Seems likely. I've been an internet leftist for a long time now and that sub has always been disinterested in the left, but the level of outright hostility recently is extreme.
Bro what are you talking about, Reddit has always been pretty much leftist and even more so with popular subs like politics or world news.
Leftism is not counterculture/ anti system as much as people here like to think. Face it. It is mainstream and THE system.
I want some insight into your mind and how you think leftism is mainstream. First, can you define leftism in a way that matches the dictionary, and then can you explain how it isn't counterculture
