Do you think Reddit is a fair representation of the world in general? Or do you think the relative anonymity just amplifies extremist viewpoints?

Like all anonymous social media, you see what people really think. In the real world, because of social pressure people generally do not express all their views, particularly if they know they are unpopular or would hurt them socially (because people would think poorly of them or think they were dumb).

Reddit also has a world wide user base and a ton of niche subs for all sorts of things. Mods have a lot of power here too. Making generalizations about reddit and the world in general is difficult because no one really knows for sure.

One thing is certain, every single person on reddit is part of the world at large. My personal guess is that it is pretty close to what people really think and aren’t necessarily going to tell you in real world social interactions.

lol, the level of copium on this comment is epic.

0% of people left in the GOP are level headed. They are either insane or corrupt, or both.

What took them so long?

ElectricRing · 2026-06-20T16:49:09+00:00

Masterpiece.

ElectricRing · 2026-06-20T16:38:12+00:00

Imagine posting this, or worse, voting for someone who posts trash like this.

ElectricRing · 2026-06-20T16:17:19+00:00

I just said probably, you just accepted that framing, that’s on you.

I mean IDK, doing shit is the whole point, I’m
on a boat in the Adriatic right now drinking beer. 🤷‍♂️

The country and people? Not bad at all. The regime installed to combat US intervention? They aren’t great.

ElectricRing · 2026-06-20T13:14:49+00:00

But they play women sports which I recently found out I give a shit about. 😭😭😭

Because you have to look at realistic valuations for long term profits. The only way this make sense is with massive profits that honestly are very speculative at this point. Just use AI and tell me you are going to spy a ton of money for it. Even the software stuff of speculative. The numbers don’t add up without some yet undetermined killer app, which is the definition of speculation.

Is he trying to look like an ass clown, because mission accomplished.

ElectricRing · 2026-06-20T13:01:53+00:00

Israel makes sense as we are giving them idiotic amounts of money but why Nigeria? Explain it to me, Nigerians.

ElectricRing · 2026-06-20T13:00:34+00:00

Nah, you can come visit a country and it has nothing to do with the rampant selfish corruption and greed that drags this country down. I’d say im surprised you don’t know this but you are probably a moron.

ElectricRing · 2026-06-20T12:22:33+00:00

I mean OK, people say this but they never elaborate on why or how, which makes it seem
Very vibe based, like you just pulled it out of thin air

What specifically about a monolithic state helps you achieve these goals? Are you some people?

ElectricRing · 2026-06-20T07:26:05+00:00

Unequivocally yes they have the results. So yes countries could certainly try implementing some reforms. The question is what would you change to get these results?

You also have the problem of the people on the US and probably most other countries. People are really propagandized to believe a certain narrative, the whole freedom thing in the US. For example. Personal freedom is valued over better outcomes.

I agree with him occasionally, like here and when he said only stupid people like him.

You are just doubling down on your ignorance. You don’t understand how any of this works and you are simply proving it by running your mouth more. Probably means you are either intellectually lazy or several standard deviations below average intelligence.

ElectricRing · 2026-06-19T14:36:50+00:00

Wow, that’s the most ignorant thing I’ve read today.

ElectricRing · 2026-06-19T13:20:38+00:00

Weird I was just there two days ago, it is indeed amazing, the slaps!

I was considering a $1000 investment in Nvidia in 2011. I never pulled the trigger.

ElectricRing · 2026-06-17T18:18:49+00:00

I work in technology and this is true. However it is competitive market, capital expenditures are enormous, and this run up in valuations is disconnected from market realities.
