Unfortunately I think that I'm somewhat personally responsible for radicalizing /r/Alberta in the way that it is now.
The only subs I used to post to with any frequency were /r/Calgary, /r/Metacanada, and /r/Alberta. When I was posting on /r/Alberta years ago there were like 1000 subs and maybe a handful of new threads a day. If someone wanted to really argue with me they'd generally go to /r/Alberta because it was so fucking sleepy and they knew I was likely to reply to an /r/Alberta thread instead of the 50 messages I was getting per day in /r/Calgary.
Unfortunately it drew a lot of liberal idiots into /r/Alberta and they quickly took it over. I'm not saying I'm 100% personally responsible for what happened as the sub grew quickly with idiot liberals when the NDP won the provincial election, but I recognize that I helped ruin /r/Alberta to some degree which kind of sucks to admit.
I still come up with a good rant every once in awhile. Actually I just got called out a few months ago by Crackmacs, LOL. He sent me a message saying he knew exactly who I was because of my 'writing style.' Not gonna lie, he nailed it. I thought it was pretty funny. He's a lib but at least he's a good lib.
I LOL'd.
