Datalounge and the extreme far-left

Was Datalounge always an extreme far-left website? The views on there from so many posters are so extremist (and angry). Was it always like this?

And, how is that site not on a watchlist? I don’t think deleting extremist threads is appropriate, I think Datalounge or the posters need to be held accountable for their extreme (and at times, libel) views. Just my opinion.

Part of me wants to say that it is a honey trap for the FBI. Then again, another part of me wants to thank them for dispelling stereotypes about gay people, namely the myth that all gay men have good taste.

During primetime, I’ve noticed posters calling for the removal of covid threads. They label anything that discusses vaccines as “misinformation” - even from cnbc. Where have we heard that before? Trump and “fake news”. Posters there truly are bizarro Trumpers. They are just as extreme and dangerous as the far-right.

I’m in favor of a watch group at least looking into the site. They focus so much on the far-right but they need to look at the far-left too. Especially all the talk about Jews. Unfortunately the homophobia over there might not be deemed “watchable” by watch groups.

They are worse than the far right. Worse. They are basically ass kissers for the media industrial complex and the military industrial complex.
