    For you brilliant commenters reacting angrily, this doesn't represent actual views. /r/UnethicalLifeProTips is satire.

    EDIT: Well it's supposed to be satire, anyway. I won't claim it's succeeding.

        I didn't post it, I'm just explaining what I think the author intended. But I certainly don't agree with them. I come from an immigrant family that fled the original brownshirts.

      For this brilliant fucking idiot that I'm responding too; satire isn't planting suggestions into the heads of disgruntled liberals to attack marginalized people even while you do so with your tongue in your cheek.

      Eat shit.

        Ok, apparently there are actual hateful idiots in that thread. You didn't share that part previously. Not too shocking though. That's why I don't use reddit.

            Drive-by comments from these types are not the ones we're gonna reach through. I've had more luck with my Trump neighbors than these types (made a post a while back and had more progress since then). They're ignorant, smug and straight up having a meltdown over on Reddit right now; where this is from. It's full fourth reich over there. Someone defending this is definitely not type to organize with.

            I was having a decent conversation with another lib from lemmee; different than this type.

              You seem to be both forgetting their perceved stakes, and more importantly you seem to be casting people off over relitivly minor. We dont have the luxury of deciding who we should or should not convert, they entered into the grad, we should work to bring them over rather than drive the wedge farther. I am not sure when the cool and hip thing was to carpet bag anyone who passes by, but thats going to convert noone, thats going to educate no one

      "satire" is when you say out loud your sociopathic thoughts and get epic updoots for it. The posts on ULPT are, as i understand it, humorously unethical means of achieving an objective which is socially acceptable to desire. In this case, the apparently socially acceptable desire is the removal of the minorities who we are deciding to blame for the election result. Note that this is different from the desire to win the election, the election has already passed - this is pure vindictiveness.
