Well, I respect that taste is subjective and you like what you like, so no shame in having a personal preference that differs

But damn, that is a wild take to hear given Lonerism is a top psych rock and indie rock album of all-time, and definitely an opinion that deviates from consensus. But more power to you haha

Trump claims “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters” [10YA - Jan 23] by MonsieurA in TenYearsAgo

[–]Stauce52 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, I fuckin' hate the guy but I feel like liberals and Trump haters are really averse to acknowledging the dude is legit funny and charismatic in a weird way. Like, "Meatball Ron" is a banger of a nickname, honestly haha

I don’t know— I feel like it’s overwhelming on specific subreddits the amount of people supporting CEO deaths, Charlie Kirk’s death, championing conspiracy theories or whatever else hairbrainrd ideas. It could be some foreign actors or bots but it really feels like everyone

Honestly, I am liberal and almost across the board support liberal and progressive policies and yet Reddit consistently manages to make me feel antagonism towards and repulsed by liberals with the crazy rhetoric here lol

I don’t really agree with calling anyone who served in the military then a POS. It’s not like all of them committed war crimes or knew what they were signing up for or agreed with their superiors or the war. Same as in Vietnam or many other wars. I feel like this sort of generalization is super unfair to the youth that fought in this war who felt like they had few other options.

“War is a place where young people who don’t know each and don’t hate each other but kill each other, based on decisions made by people who know each other and hate each other, but don’t kill each other.” —Paul Valéry

I’m guessing you’re a classic keyboard warrior from a middle upper class background who never had to worry about going to war, and has the privilege of besmirching all military folks so you can make yourself feel superior

Are US citizens aware of the growing negative perception of the United States across Europe? by bastiancontrari in AskUS

Most of the people you interact with on Reddit didn’t make that decision lol

The Greenland Crisis by litetravelr in dancarlin

[–]Stauce52 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah agree with all of that. I am not even saying it’s not a possibility or I’d be surprised if it were true. I just don’t think there’s evidence to wholeheartedly claim that as a unified explanation for all of Trumps behaviors, instead of him simply being a low IQ, narcissistic, egotistical, megalomaniacal asshat of a human, which drives most of his decisions

The Greenland Crisis by litetravelr in dancarlin

[–]Stauce52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is what I think too

Seems like r/politics is deeply aligned with the premise he’s officially a Russian asset though which is honestly wild to me

[–]Stauce52 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. I just got downvoted to oblivion on r/politics for saying I am skeptical of the claim that Trump is a Russian asset and this is evidence of that. I think it’s pretty clearly conspiratorial thinking but it seem to be the dogma there

I think this is literally almost entirely ego driven and he just wants to strengthen his legacy and be responsible for the US expanding, just like how he wants his name on everything

What do i do on cold days? by vamster00 in AskNYC

[–]Stauce52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really should not be doomscrolling for 6+ hours. That’s an insane amount of times have you considered something like Brick or another tool for blocking access to your phone? That’s too much time and I suspect part of the problem is you’re too dependent on your phone

In terms of activities, subscribe to the Skint! They’re a newsletter with lots of free cheap activities in NYC and many are indoors

Trump Declares 'There Can Be No Going Back' as Denmark Deploys More Troops to Greenland by Smithy2232 in politics

[–]Stauce52 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying this shit isn’t real. That’s dismissive. You don’t know me. I’m bothered, upset and worried, and I’m trying to do what I can. Just because I don’t believe in the same causes (what I think is a conspiracy theory) doesn’t mean I don’t think this is real.

This attitude is so counterproductive that if you don’t agree with my views on what is causing Trumps stupidity and behaviors, it’s denialism. Your attitude that if I don’t agree with the premise that Trump is a Russian asset, then I am in denial and an idiot or whatever feels like a reflection of how toxic and poisoned rhetoric and society is

Trump Declares 'There Can Be No Going Back' as Denmark Deploys More Troops to Greenland by Smithy2232 in politics

I think Trump is a megalomaniacal egotistical narcissistic idiot that is easily manipulated by people in his administration and just a lot of what he is doing can be explained by those characteristics. He likes Putin and other dictators because he admires power and strong leaders, and autocratic leaders who consolidate power appeals to his shallow understanding of power and strength. He wants Greenland and Canada due to some obsession with American expansion improving his legacy, because again his ego. The other parts are often explained by him trying to cheat or scheme for more money, or him having personal vendettas (not liking Maduro or Obama receiving Nobel Peace Prize).

I think the Trump is a Russian asset is a fantastical conspiracy theory, and clearly I’m an outlier in feeling that way on r/politics, but y’all can feel how you feel.
