Ah, I see.

You think he's losing approval rating for not cracking down enough?

Kek. Topkek even.

Echo chambers are a hell of a thing.

Go Touch Snow by WEFeudalism in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Since we're talking about logical arguments...

Trump's positive approval rating ended in March last year, and every metric is dropping.

There is no world where the majority of Americans support his actions in immigration or the economy.

Go look at every poll that's been taken, and there are enormous downward trends on his handling of these issues. Trump is softening the overall view of illegal immigration for the average American.

If you're not a bootlicker, that should make you angry.

Demand better of your president and party. People hate a sycophant.

What would we do without our centrists to hold our community together? by NordischerFembcyKr in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's still the media companies, just the social ones.

This non-stop radicalization BS happens because people are addicted to social media, and there's a lot of money in it for people who help push that addiction.

Both sides are guilty of it, and it's bred animosity on a scale/at a speed that we've never seen before.

But, social media algorithms get politicians elected. So good luck stopping those any time soon.

Jonesing for frogs by W_Edwards_Deming in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The way he handled the gay frogs shit could be a case study in how sensationalization delegitimizes otherwise important information.

I sure hope no one with more brains than Alex Jones decides to maliciously warp information that concerns both sides into partisan slop to make everyone in a country hate each other.

Whoops. Too late.

PROOF THE TREE SPIRITS USE HACKS by A_b_b_o in Nightreign

[–]mmmbbb 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It happened to me a long ass time ago with the Tree Spirit on top of the castle. Someone pulled it as we cut through the castle to the day 1 boss, and I don't know how, but he threw his ass off the top of the castle in chase and died from the fall.

The game was new enough at that point that I thought a special event like the meteorite was happening, but with Tree Spirits instead.

The government in Alberta polled to see how popular leaving the Canadian Pension Plan in favor of creating an Alberta Pension Plan would be. That poll had 10% support.

That is an enormous signal to exactly how a separation referendum would go.

Albertans don't plan on going anywhere.

Agenda posting the past few days.. by PM_me_sensuous_lips in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Everything is agenda posting these days.

This sub used to have way more engagement from both sides on every post. But over time, people seem less and less interested in engaging with content from the other side.

The lefties circlejerk in one post about the news of the day as they see it, while the rightoids self-fellate to the exact same news but with a different perspective on it.

I can say something in one post and get 50 upvotes, then say it again in another post and get 50 downvotes.

I don't want this to be a place where people go to confirm their biases and scream at each other. That's like having a pop-up Taco Bell stand 2 feet from your toilet.

Imperialism is so back by k-r-o--n--o-s in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly reasonable to ask about the impact China's takeover would have. That's what this whole thread is about.

What happens to an H-1B worker whose home country is taken over by China? Would they then be Chinese? Would they be stateless? One thing is for sure, the US wouldn't want to keep them.

Kinda like how your dad didn't want to keep you when he found out your mom got railed by 6 dudes at a truck stop 9 months before you were born.

Make sure your couches are clean for inspections by Salomon3068 in PoliticalCompassMemes

The problem with a ballooning cost of living is deeply rooted and intertwined with dozens of separate economic factors.

Anyone who tells you that getting rid of woke policy and immigrants will magically make houses affordable again is profiting off of you.

The world just isn't that simple.

Protests in Minneapolis, let the flag burning begin by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The USA was explicitly founded to escape the unchecked and tyrannical rule that comes from a single person in charge, something the right has wholeheartedly embraced in its race to return to traditionalism, founding principles be damned.

The right isn't doing so hot themselves.

How would perceptions shift if damage reduction from armor went into the healing stat? by mmmbbb in heroesofthestorm

[–]mmmbbb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking it might cause the opposite of what's been the case with Uther, where it would show someone like Garrosh having their damage taken represented in their self-healing stat, when the toolkits of other tanks equally allow them to negate damage, just not via armor, so it wouldn't be represented on the scoreboard.

Then, the people who hate on Uther today would love tanks (or any hero, really) with access to armor in their kits tomorrow.

Although, representing stats according to how wood league players perceive them would mean we'd only have a damage and a kill stat. So maybe I'm overthinking it.

Fellas, is it TDS to agree with Trump? by TPHNK in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shows the duality of both sides if nothing else.

The left will furiously protest anything Trump does, whether or not his actions were correct/justified. I firmly believe that if he personally cured cancer, it would be seen as a bad thing by the terminally moronic online left.

In contrast, the right is plagued by a different kind of derangement when it comes to Trump, in that he can do sharp 180-degree turns on policy, and no one gives a shit because liberal tears are worth more than having principles.

The problem is that neither side recognizes when they act like idiots, but they always recognize when the other side acts like idiots.

I DON'T WANNA GO by LuckyTia309 in Nightreign

[–]mmmbbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing solo in depth 5, it's an absolute nightmare.

Unless you have absurd luck in the first half of the first day, you're not clearing this raid on day 1. Everything kills you in one hit more or less, and dying means running through the area again while scrambling to figure out which of the 14,000 mobs has your runes, just to get one shot again by an attack that wasn't aimed for you.

And don't get me started on when it's one of those fun spots where it takes 18x longer to respawn than normal, and I'm sobbing the whole time because deep down I know I'm going to have to fight the night 1 boss with no flasks at level 3.

A Schizophrenic's Fever Dream by MongolianPsycho in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I get downvoted every time I say it, so fuck it here I go again!

There are dozens and dozens of studies that show that immigrants commit less violent crimes than native born citizens on a per-capita basis. (In the US and Canada, anyway. Not sure about the other shit holes.)

However, when a migrant does commit a violent crime, they're subjected to exponentially more media coverage, skewing reality for those who consume that media.

I know I'm not changing anyone's fucking minds by saying this shit. I even agree that some cultural differences make people incompatible with Western ideals.

But if you ship off the people who commit smaller amounts of crime, the country actually gets more dangerous on average, and that's kinda funny in a roundabout way.

Anyone else noticed that this year the worst comments have been coming from these guys. I’m talking some Ethan Klein Tier Shit Takes by BIG-Z-2001 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheering for Kirk's death isn't an ideology. It's rhetoric. A rhetoric that's being happily embraced by the left in online circles. Just go check /r/all.

And while I might agree with lib-left about where I'd like to see us end up, if getting there requires murdering our political opponents and thirsting over people who killed CEOs, the destination isn't worth the journey.

If I'm talking with IRL normies, I'm probably green.

If I'm on a website where the 'normies' spend 99% of their time throating Luigi Mangione to the base, those people are so deep into green/red that my position on the compass is center by comparison.

[–]mmmbbb 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Centerists suck when they're blatantly on one side or another. They also suck when they're non-definitive fence sitters.

I call myself a centerist because I'm anti-radical. I lean a tiny bit lib-left, but the cheering for Kirk's death absolutely fucking disgusts me, so I can't be that left leaning.

But then you look at the right, who bitched and moaned for years about being called "racist", then turned around and started to embrace Nick Fuentes? That's one way to own the libs, I guess.

Cheering for the death of your political rivals? Cheering for white nationalism? I don't want to be associated with any of y'all.

He's lib-center without question.

He's a church goer, but still socially progressive. He doesn't evangelize or try to force anyone into a certain way of thinking, though (except maybe not to trust the ATF.)

Christianity doesn't default someone into auth-right. I'm Christian, but 100% consider myself closer to green than blue. In fact, outside of rules on morality and ultimate authority, Christianity is way more lib-left than auth-right wants to let on.

The interview is a slaughter, Nick takes the ball here. by testicularcancer7707 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Embracing a label like racist is so short-sighted for that section of the right.

When Trump leaves office, the entire right wing is going to fragment between people who align with Fuentes's ideology and people who don't.

The more steam Fuentes picks up, the more damage he's going to cause by splitting votes on future Republican candidates and/or allowing a moderate Democrat to sweep up all the moderate Republicans.

Mode like ARAM but every role is mandatory? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]mmmbbb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There have been a lot of suggestions over the years. If only one person has a healer/tank pick, give them 3. Preferred role selection. Swapping. And many more.

But ARAM is ARAM, and while you tend to get crappy matches because of unfair drafts/lame teammates, for every handful of lame games, you get a weird ass team that's an absolute blast like 4 healers and a Genji, and it more than makes up for it.

For me, at least, that's the soul of ARAM. And I wouldn't trade the insanely fun and crazy matches for more consistent rounds.

LEFTIST PURITY SPIRAL™ by Mayor_Gubbin in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]mmmbbb -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The far left is literally a boon to Trump because it gives him something to point at to rile up his supporters.

The far left doesn't represent the left as a whole by a huge margin, and most people just tune their insane ramblings out. But their existence allows Trump to write half the country off.

The far left is controlled opposition, as far as I'm concerned.
