    Arguing with some conservative on reddit. I mentioned that I'm a socialist and he keeps asking me how much money I make. I gave a joke answer and then said my non-answer "confirms his "suspicions that" I'm a "well-to-do Karen who wants to tell others how to live but not how you should live". Then he said I'm not really a socialist but just a busybody with bad advice.

    Do conservatives think Karens are leftists? Anyone bored and feel like reading my exchange with this dude? Either for a laugh or to help me figure out what the fuck he's talking about? Would it be bad to link to the reddit thread in here?

    ...here's the thread .

      if you make bank own it! conservatives love wealthy people. tell him capitalism has deemed you (a wealthy person) better than him. and tell him because you make bank you're not a socialist due to envy.

      "Karen" has been moving toward being a synonym for "bitch" for a while now. Wasn't the original meaning, but it won't be long before that's overshadowed imo.

        yeah they ruined the entire meaning of the word "karen" when it became popular, its so annoying to see it used for everything people dont like now.

      These people won’t be reasoned with; they can only be plowed over.

      i think this may be one of those, 'understands a thing like a dog" where they get the tone, but not the message. karen = bad + details, is probably the extent of their thinking.

        I think this may be one of those "I'm arguing with a literal dog" situations.

      The wild thing is that if you made less than average he'd accuse you of wanting free handouts. Honestly making above average does give you more moral authority in this conversation, as (in his mind) you'd be less likely to personally gain from socialism.

      Like honestly what he's saying doesn't even make sense. He is using the trope that if you're successful under capitalism you're not allowed to criticize it.

      If you are rich then you are a hypocrite larper, if you are poor then you are just jealous and looking for a hand out. Either way they are fishing to use a thought terminating scripted response then act like they destroyed you with facts and logic.

      Lot’s of “George Floyd was a criminal scumbag” comments in that thread 😬. I fucking hate hearing that argument from conservatives, as if committing a crime at one point in your life makes you deserve to be executed by police. So Christlike of them.

        It was fun and I think my replies were kinda funny. I wasn't trying to change his mind about anything, that's pointless. I think I made him look dumb which was also fun.
