The right wing domination of cyber space
Advertisements [?]
Has anyone else noticed this phenomea? I have seen this on all sorts of message board. They range from gamer sites, to debate sites to sports sites. I just recently had a very unpleasent battle with a pack of rightwing nut jobs.
I was a long time member of a NY Giants message board. It had many non-football topic threads that were political in nature. They were heavily dominated by righ wing nut jobs. I posted a couple of pro liberal/Democrat posts and the right wing nut jobs teamed up to attack and run me off the board. I have noticed this sort of thing happens all over cyber space. The righ wing assholes team up on any liberal that is bold enough to speak their mind. They usually go crying to the moderators to boot the evil liberal, because they don't like them to have a voice.
What bothers me is while the right wingers will stick together and defend one another and attack as a pack, the liberals don't do the same thing. They don't protect one another and they don't help out their fellow liberals. As a result most of cyber space, with the exception of specialty boards like this one, are dominated by the far right. It allows them to have a very effective attack message, as they can use it to get out their misinformation and attack campaigns.


Here is one example
