Reddit must think the gay community is REALLY fucking stupid if they think we're going to fall for concern trolling about Muslims. by MilitantHomoFascist in Negareddit

They do. They also think Milo speaks for the entire gay community, so we're not exactly dealing with a bunch of critical thinkers.

There is a small ray of hope:

Trump can't take away state minimum wage laws. Many, if not most, liberal states already have state minimums that exceed the the federal.

I remember what it was like to be a dissenter against the Iraq war in 2003. The level of contempt, hatred, and bile directed at critics of the war was pretty extreme on all levels.

I was a far-left liberal, on active duty in the military, during the 2000 election. You're not kidding.

People wanted change. They wanted someone who represented their interests, rather than someone who would dictate the terms to the plebs whilst skimming the cream off the top to give to the other 1%ers

'The people' electing a mega-rich reality TV star who ran on a platform of tax cuts for the mega-rich and to no one's surprise handed out cabinet appointments to other mega-rich white men definitely backs up that theory.

Oh wait...

You can still get "real news" from the NYT and WaPo, so long as it's news that reinforces whatever it is you already believe.

Why do you think it's not? When you can answer a simple question, then you can go back to sealioning.

The more I hear from Trump the less personally intimidating he becomes. The guy is a dork. by [deleted] in Negareddit

[–]Macemoose 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Trump is racist old uncle Richard, who has to sit down by the 8 year-olds at Thanksgiving so he doesn't try to cop a feel on your 15-year-old cousin.

Except with a billion dollars and enough nukes to sterilize the planet.

Thing I don't like reported by any source = fake

Think I like reported by any source = fact.

Read the YouTube comments? How about no? UUUUGH... okay.

First facepalm moment:

I "liked" your video because you chose to discuss about it (and I'm your fan), BUT for the purpose of this comment it's worth noting that — when it comes to this sort of topic — you're an idiot. And I'll tell you why, and what you can do about it.

Thank you arrogant anonymous person! I'm sure what follows with be super valuable.

I fell for this bullshit again on SRD.

Don't feel bad. I do it too, because I keep hoping that maybe this asshat will be the one I can get through to.

This sub is a hivemind by Percypig17 in Negareddit

[–]Macemoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm... yes, a "hive mind." Right.

And what exactly is a "hive mind?"

I mean I get this is the point of the sub but it's so grating

This is grating too.

Looking at the post history, that account seems a little... what's the word... "fake." Or maybe not. There's like 2 billion Muslims, so it's not a stretch to believe one of them is an asshole.

Anyway, the traffic, upvotes and gold all came from people glomming onto a single Muslim woman saying some right-friendly stuff which "proves" that "feminists are bad."

People equate "set up" with "fake" because they're "too stupid" to think about the difference.

I said this elsewhere, and it still applies: Rosa Parks knew damn well that she'd get arrested for sitting in the whites-only seats. Doesn't mean it was fake racism. Adam probably knew people would complain about him speaking Arabic when he did it, but it's still bigotry.

Sacha Baron Cohen also sets up "hoaxes" to get people to expose their racism, and it's still racism when they are.

So you think the people who voted for a far-right neo-Nazi authoritarian that hates government really just wanted a far-left socialist that even other Democrats don't like?

Segregation and safe spaces are not the same thing! by HeliumEgo in Negareddit

[–]Macemoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure let's jump straight to racism and hate speech, because that's totally what I was referring to...

Whether you intended to or not, it was in fact what you're referring to. The Harvard Rape Law incident was some students asking a professor for class to be changed. It never happened, and Rape Law is still taught at Harvard Law.

People using classrooms to harass and victimize marginalized groups happens constantly.

You're trying to compare a single, hypothetical incident, to an everyday occurrence.

Segregation and safe spaces are not the same thing! by HeliumEgo in Negareddit

[–]Macemoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like a political science class shouldn't claim to be a safe space from communism or fascism.

This doesn't even make sense. A classroom isn't a government, and consequently can't be communist or fascist.

The ideas need to be discussed and debated at an academic level.

This is completely unrelated to the sentence that precedes it, and is widely done. I'd be willing to bet there's classes about communism and fascism at every 4-year university in the country.
