It looks like two weeks ago they added a sticky post telling users to stop making calls to violence: https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/cfs3dx... I guess Reddit finally told them to clean up their act.

This sticky was definitely needed. I've seen among other things, a commenter telling people whose family was killed by the Castro regime that their family deserved to be killed, and others calling for the summary killing of anyone in the top 1% of income.

Look at some of the highest upvoted posts of the year: https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/9lhjar...

Lots of deleted comments. Several root level comments with hundreds of upvotes. LSC cleaning up it's act is pretty recent.




> and others calling for the summary killing of anyone in the top 1% of income.

It only takes $32,000 a year to be in the top 1% worldwide according to a couple or articles I read. I bet a lot of the people saying that fall into the 1%.

It appears from your down votes that HN doesn't like evidence.
