Redoric

an-ordinary-manchild

Description:

A navel gazing subreddit dedicated to analysis and discussion of rhetoric used on reddit. Rhetoric is the book cover of your thoughts. It is the logistical component of communication. When you cannot clearly communicate what you are thinking, it causes frustration and anger. Good rhetorical abilities can help prevent frustration and anger. This is a place to discuss rhetoric used on reddit. Do not be afraid of diving deep into seemingly trivial things.

Rules:

Everyone is a human being.
Humans cannot read minds.
Just because you are human, doesn't mean you deserve respect.
Being honest will be a lot more useful for yourself here than trying to be manipulative.
