I was acquaintances/friends with Aaron Swartz, we'd discussed this phenomenon. If ~15% of a group hold a view strong enough inevitably the group will adopt it. He noted it being smaller, that after the adoption of subreddits the popular subreddits were having this influence over the whole site with even fewer numbers pushing it.
This is the reason we were kicked off of Reddit. They had to eliminate us, because the contagion would be unstoppable. Reddit would have become dominated via us. This would then mean those people would echo the sentiment on all their other social media platforms and in their personal lives.
All they did was slow it down, but nothing can stop it. And one day I'll get to see what I want: a judge order Barack Obama hang.

Praying for us to see justice soon...and I believe we will. 🙏⚖️
