I'm really glad other people have noticed A&H's descent into /pol/-lite over the past several months. Oftentimes posting anything that's not far-right gets you deluged with dumb ratings by newfags who are salty you've broken up the circlejerk. I consider myself to be left-leaning, but I do agree with conservatives on some things and I would be classified as a moderate in every sense of the word. Posters on A&H have unironically told me I'm a brainwashed member of the progressive cult and that I need to be "red-pilled." Yeah, no thanks.
The old A&H wasn't perfect, but left-leaning and right-leaning people could discuss the news in peace. We had good conversations. Now the place has been inundated by alt-right speds who REEEEEE at opposing opinions threatening their echo chamber. I dunno why I keep posting there other than 1.) I still want to discuss the news and 2.) I want to break up the circlejerk at least a little so it doesn't completely devolve into diet /pol/.
