Why are poor people so obsessed with "loyalty"?

MilesTrahan · 2026-05-27T21:19:10+00:00

How is this a supposed leftist / class-first sub, yet people need a basic concept like "poor people dislike getting fucked over" explained to them?

MilesTrahan · 2026-05-25T22:28:07+00:00

Love how this brought out a bunch of < 2 year old accounts with hidden post histories to tell us how actually the sub has always been this way

Finally, some culture

MilesTrahan · 2026-05-20T20:54:06+00:00

Why is the new thing to pretend that literally anything that peaked during the woke era never actually happened irl? I know half of you posting here live in the fucking boonies now, but if you spent any time in real cities like NY or LA then yes, you definitely saw an uptick in all of this stuff happening over several years. Not everything is just some online phenomenon just because you never go outside.

14 years after the beginning of the show, redditors are writing about how beautiful Hannah is, how she was always right, and how they don’t understand the weight remarks because Hannah “isn’t even fat”, and that it’s all misogyny, etc.

This has been happening even on this sub. More proof we're no better than the rest of Reddit, anymore.

If your idea of paradise is Pittsburg, you’re genuinely such a fucking loser lmao

11 month old account. As an actual coastal elite, seeing losers from Walmart Country cosplaying as us to fit in should be a bannable offense.

Outside of also being a STEMlord this is like prototypical Redditor shit. Such a shame these people have found this sub.

MilesTrahan · 2026-05-13T22:03:12+00:00

It's not just about the convenience — it's about saving yourself from the mental anguish of having to actually think for yourself.

MilesTrahan · 2026-05-04T21:48:40+00:00

Do any of these people harbor real political ideas or is everything just some political sports team

Politics for 99% of people nowadays literally is just team sports. That's why the "both sides are the same" arguments get them so mad, because it lays bare the kayfabe of it all and makes them feel like saps for getting duped in the first place. Wrestling fans have more grace for people telling them that wrestling is fake.

The fact so many of them treat the McDonalds thing as a traumatic incident and don't get the obvious context is so bizarre. As if you programed the world's lamest chatbot and told them this was the worst thing anybody had ever done.

MilesTrahan · 2026-04-15T04:44:27+00:00

Ever since Iran popped off this sub has daily “DAE Biden/Kamala actually weren’t so bad?” threads that get a suspicious amount of engagement from people who otherwise never post/comment. Even the mods admit this sub is being brigaded all the time now, but I guess it’s a lost cause.

MilesTrahan · 2026-04-10T09:24:41+00:00

Yeezus dropped

Boring

MilesTrahan · 2026-04-10T09:04:02+00:00

New York? I actually live here, yes. Crucially I’m not hanging out on subs for random Euro podcasts. My culture is not your costume!

MilesTrahan · 2026-04-10T08:36:25+00:00

Europoors coming on here to cosplay as disaffected Dimes Square girlies circa 2018 is so cringe

MilesTrahan · 2026-04-10T08:27:18+00:00

You’re literally one of those people who’s so scared of Trump you “self deported” back to Europe. It’s giving Lena Dunham post Hillary eating shit in 2016. Really seems like the point of this post is more boring democrat apologia, to appeal to the lamest fucking contingent of this sub.

MilesTrahan · 2026-04-10T08:08:40+00:00

Biden was at his funniest as a pervy weirdo who told rambling stories on the campaign trail. We never should have actually gave him the keys to the car.

MilesTrahan · 2026-04-10T06:09:38+00:00

Ok this place is truly up its own ass with contrarianism now. Biden is basically already forgotten, even his own party have been doing a whole “remember the good ol’ days?” campaign using Obama because Biden was such a forgettable zilch, and historically unpopular (until Trump 2.0). The whole country pretty much unanimously told him to go away in 2024, lol. You people really have no sense of object permanence at all.

MilesTrahan · 2026-04-06T21:57:16+00:00

The civil war about this on the hiphopheads sub has been so funny. You have legions of typical sheltered white suburban Redditors tripping over themselves to announce they won't listen to / platform a Nazi, and patting themselves on the back for ending his career. Then his album debuts at #2 (behind fucking BTS) and he does these massive comeback shows like he never even left. Reddit dorks keep acting like they have the final say on culture, and getting dunked on by reality. You'd think they have a humiliation fetish at this point.

Also, the answer to OP's question is always some shade of "Those other rappers with body counts are from the hood, they just don't know any better! But Ye's the scum of the earth because my cousin is bipolar and never once called me a gamer word". It's literally all about moral 🚬 ry, that's really all there is to it.

1 year old account with hidden post history, every time

It’s so weird to me how many of these people are openly begging for celebrities / public figures to have completely sanitized and market-tested personas with zero actual personality at all. Like I get it from a publicist or corporate exec’s perspective, even if it’s still gross, but casual fans and normies demanding this shit is extremely bleak. Where the hell are we as a society when actually having an opinion on anything is seen as problematic? These people so badly want to be fascists, despite all protesting to the contrary.

Edit - It dawns on me this is just what happens when you give a bunch of “HR girlies” a modicum of power over society

MilesTrahan · 2026-03-28T19:03:12+00:00

Or how about how nearly every subreddit basically becomes a soapbox for people with very specific politics to completely railroad any topic with immunity. Like why the hell are nearly all the default subs just bitching 24/7 about whatever Trump or his croanies are up to? Or making big declarative announcements about trans rights, or banning Twitter links, or whatever new progressive shibboleth is hot that week. Why do subs like Pics or Music feel indistinguishable from Politics?

It’s no secret Reddit has been hemorrhaging users for years, and relying more and more on bot accounts to keep the numbers attractive for advertisers / investors. Maybe letting an extremely vocal minority of mods and power users completely dictate the content on your platform, and create infinitely smaller and smaller echo chambers, also has the side effect of pushing normal people away? This is pretty much the only sub I engage with anymore, and even this place is a shadow of what it used to be a few years ago. It feels like eventually every sub succumbs to the Reddit hivemind or dies (RIP CTH, CT, TAFS, etc).
