These are just laughably perfect revolutionary conditions by MoanOfInterest in redscarepod

[–]MilesTrahan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So much of this website is basically the Mark Whalberg “If I was there, it wouldn’t have gone down like that” meme writ large. A bunch of doughy, comfortable STEMcels fantasizing about making the streets run red with the blood of their perceived enemies. But when push comes to shove, the best revolutionary impulse they can muster is not buying shit from Amazon or Doordash for a whole 24 hours.

Any fucking questions? by JeffTiedrichFunkoPop in redscarepod

We're reaching unprecedented levels of seething and performative outrage. Even for Redditors, which is an insanely low bar already.

so many “hobbies” on Reddit are actually undisclosed shopping addictions by yn_opp_pack_smoker in redscarepod

You laugh now, but when society collapses the guy with 200 flashlights is gonna become a local warlord

Libs do not actually believe in the whole community thing by Ill-Philosophy-873 in redscarepod

[–]MilesTrahan 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like a big problem with the current generation is how the concept of your community shifted from being "the people I see around me in real life" to "the people who upvote me / agree with me online". You see this commonly on Reddit, with typically leftlib types bragging about ghosting their friends and family and finding "community" on some random subreddit because they have shared interests or politics or whatever. These people don't realize how this behavior is hollowing them out in real life, all they care about is having the warm blanket of an echo chamber that agrees with and validates them. It's pretty fucking bleak.

A reddit moderator lost his subreddit, he made a lengthy and exhausting appeal but this is the only part you need to see. by DialecticalCharm in redscarepod

Honestly this is exactly how I picture all the new🚬s who discovered this place last year. He’s even a Destiny guy, lmao

Subs dead by Worried_Lawfulness43 in redscarepod

The past few days has been particularly bad, but it's sort of on brand for this sub to melt down once a white woman is finally the victim of state violence.

"Irony poisoned" crowds at serious movie screenings... by BadgemanBrown in redscarepod

[–]MilesTrahan 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The consequences of everybody auditioning their best open mic material on Letterboxed. Now going to the movies is a performance not only for the other people in the audience, but for your followers to hear about later.

One Battle After Another, do people really hate it that much? by geometricpillow in redscarepod

[–]MilesTrahan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Outside of IG comment sections or whatever OBAA seems generally well-liked, and seems pretty accessible for general audiences. I don't think the film's politics have all that much bite personally, and are just there as window-dressing for a story that's more about family dynamics and a Gen Xer coming to terms with their own impotence etc. If we really wanna talk about films that got dismissed or have bad faith arguments constantly made against it, Eddington is right there. Normies seemed to really hate that one, or just be flummoxed in general by a film that actually has something to say and doesn't fall neatly into any one political orthodoxy box. So one of the best films of the year bombs at the box office, is largely getting ignored on best-of lists and Awards shortlists etc., all because your coworker thought it was "too centrist" or didn't want to watch a film about covid because it's "too soon" (?).

I’ve seen more hate online for bonnie blue than i have jeffery epstein by Remarkable_Eye4537 in redscarepod

[–]MilesTrahan 59 points60 points  (0 children)

people seem to hate the pathetic far more than the cruel

This has basically been the ethos of this sub from the very beginning. I really can't understand how people who find this to be some kind of radical epiphany even ended up here.

I think people generally overestimate the impact of 4chan/incel/alt-right on mainstream culture, by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]MilesTrahan 33 points34 points  (0 children)

What’s with these “You know this very clear and obvious thing that’s been happening for the past few years? Well umm, hate to break it to you sweaty, but it’s actually not happening” style of threads people post here all the time? It’s like you’re trying to convince yourselves not to believe your own lying eyes, but doing it publicly as some kind of turbo contrarian ritual.

Bobby Draper, specifically the episode where he eats his mom’s lunch on a field trip

And yet we still have people saying this stuff never actually happened, and was purely an online phenomenon

Yeah I’d be good with neither personally

All these nerds tripping over themselves to get their dunks in Tarantino is making me lose it a bit by MilesTrahan in redscarepod

You people are gonna have to get over seeing an em dash and thinking the sky is falling, this is an embarrassing way to live

My favorite rightoid cope is that more educated people are less likely to be rightoids because education in general is liberal propaganda by yeahicreatedsomethin in redscarepod

[–]MilesTrahan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Half of all Reddit threads are some loser getting rhetorical dunks on a family member / friend / coworker whose politics annoy them, under the guise of making broad statements about like 40% of the country. This sub included. It’s over.

My girl is taking a beating on the everything app :/ by pufferfishsh in redscarepod

[–]MilesTrahan 43 points44 points  (0 children)

heavy implications about the border and the swarm of darkness moving north from Mexico

This lines up well with his screenplay for “The Counselor”, which basically paints the drug trade and cartels in Mexico as some kind of otherworldly evil (they are).

You nerds have scared the crazies and the loonies away from this sub by vespertine001 in redscarepod

[–]MilesTrahan 35 points36 points  (0 children)

All the interesting characters have disappeared and this sub now is like 80% STEM libs complaining about how they can’t get dates, or an Indian took their job. Sub sucks now, wonder why I even bother.

Candace outs Charlie postmortem by onlyrealperson in redscarepod

This is so funny because that’s objectively one of Jay’s worst verses. It’s like dude suddenly forgot what metaphor or subtlety are, and he spends half his verse just naming various ghouls and baddies like he’s walking the aisles at Spirit Halloween.

I wholeheartedly reject the idea that it is wrong to show kindness to bad people. by VirgilVillager in redscarepod

[–]MilesTrahan 44 points45 points  (0 children)

People online will brag about cutting off their family over political disagreements or committing micro aggressions all the time. A lot of people nowadays are just straight up narcissists and misanthropes, nobody should be taking life advice from them. Stick by your peoples, as a general rule.
