I unsubbed from r/politics finally. I was finally broken. The top comment of a Buttegeig story said "Butti Butti Butti Butti rockin everywhere!" I tried fighting the good fight over there but I'm just not strong enough.
they combine smug liberalism with reddit’s midwit crowd in a stunning way. for fuck’s sake, imagine typing out “in what ways do you think your own personal growth contributes to your ability to act as that ineffable cypher of leadership”
100%. The smug liberalism is off the charts on there. When I read the posts on there, I have to close the tab cause it makes me want to explode in rage at these mother fuckers. Any thread on there about a southern state (especially when Kentucky is brought up over McGrath) it's just a bunch of stereotypes and coded language about how much they hate poor people.
Don't anyone on this fucking site try to tell me that we should waste our time with libs and trying to radicalize them. I would MUCH rather talk to conspiracy theorists and disgruntled apolitical people than ever waste my time talking to those smug mother fuckers who hate the poor. Practically everyone I have ever had any success introducing Marxism to, were often times conspiracy theorists who came so close to getting it that our system was fucked up and looking for answers. Libs already have their own answers. They will always, always, always side with the state, defend the status quo and believe in the system.
I've been calling them out on that shit a lot lately and piled on. They hate the dum dum poor's and don't even try to hide it. They're happy to write off an entire state of people because of one politician.
there is nothing, i repeat NOTHING of redeeming value in that sub.
idk, without that subs' constant "evidence of THIS comes to light" and "bombshell report shows THAT" headlines followed up by absolutely nothing ever happening to those people I might still have that little shred of hope that the system works that I had been saving up until then.
Honestly... that sub was instrumental to my abandonment of whatever lib tendencies I had left and any faith in the Democrats to do anything for the people.
I was a religious reader of that sub in 2016. Scandal after scandal with nothing happening and I just completely stopped giving a shit.
I have a hard time believing many of them are real people. During 2016, it was so obvious the correct the record crowd was infiltrating the place. I don't know who's propaganda is being pushed there now, but they don't seem like real people. It reminds me of that experiment where they had two AI computers talk to each other.
I’ve been thinking about doing a big effort post on that when I get some free time. I remember there being this piece of metal that fell out of her pants or something right before she fainted.
There was something very bizarre about that whole event
Yes! I was immediately perma banned in 2016 for calling out this behavior.
Get paid to shit post...then report people calling you out. The mods and admins side with you.
The conversation in that place turned uncanny valley immediately
It was and still is the most infuriating sub there. I unsubbed and banned back in 2017 and it was such a massive improvement to my mental health. I lost my marbles on some lib over some Russiagate bullshit
You unsubbed instead of getting banned? Go back in there and flex your true veiny chapo hog comrade until you are banned for making liberals cry.
Headline: "US Politicians do thing that will invariably lead to the death of thousands of these non-Americans"
"Wow I wish those politicians would get a taste of their own medicine."
(You have been banned from participating in r/politics for promoting violence)
I haven't even looked at /r/politics since not long after I found /r/CTH. It is a deeply cursed place. I have no idea how you managed to last so long.
Understandable reasoning. Glad to hear you've managed to get yourself out, even if it cost you part of your psyche.
Admittedly I had that attitude for the first year of trump. It is plainly obvious the dude has ties to Russia but when that whole thing fell on it's face, I resigned myself to Trump's permanence. But really it's a fresh scandal every day and you're an idiot if you think anything is going to take him down.
Imagine being the blithe lib who was just posting their stupid posts, unaware that they would destroy you utterly
My proudest ban from there on one of my throwaway accounts was wishing Stephen Miller would stay positive (on the post saying he got covid)
This is devastating. Honestly don’t know how I can cope knowing there’s nobody out there to scream at liberals on Reddit
Butti rock is in the hou
se tonight. Everybody just light up a school.
I'm so liberal I means test who in my house is the most hungry every day. I still make them go scavenge their own food (really teaches the 5 year old character) but at the end of the year, whomever is most frequently hungry might get a tax credit.
#BLM
I'm so liberal I donated $7500 dollars to Biden to troll DRUMFP. Then I gave a homeless man $1.00 because it's awful how we treat our homeless problem.
Nah, I still go on to visit like two niche subs and occasionally fight with with liberals.
Lmfao they had a mayo Pete AMA and I never knew this but Pete wants to add a final unanimous consent of all Supreme Court justices to allow a justice to join??? “To remove partisanship”
FUSNQKSXJSJ@:9/$
Honestly the only reason I use reddit at all anymore is to mod a small music sub I inherited every couple days. The entire platform is cursed.
Lmao I hadn't heard that one. Just a total and eternal alignment of the Supreme Court to the status quo of right now, why not
When I came to after reading it I was wondering what this noise was, and it was my raw vocal chords still screaming in rage.
i unsubbed so long ago but i check it still like twice a week just to keep an eye on the libs
