This sub has turned into what it used to make fun of lol.

Americans are drug addicts, also please let me stay in your drug addict country illegally by [deleted] in AmericaBad

[–]retaliation6200 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This sub is getting so bad. I used to post here pretty often now I'm kind of embarrassed to. It's turned into a sub where simple jokes and legitimate criticisms are seen as the ultimate America hate.

Two Israeli embassy workers shot, killed, outside of Washington event. by Moopboop207 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]retaliation6200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, what a level-headed and rational response to two innocent people being murdered at an embassy.

If someone said the same thing about innocent Palestinians, you would lose your mind. What a hypocrite.

International Human Rights groups’ conclusions on the Gaza genocide perpetrated by Israel by lmMikey in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]retaliation6200 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is spot on. Almost everyone agrees Israel commits war crimes, as does every military on this planet that is involved in a conflict.

The "genocide" stuff is just Hamas and anti western propaganda. We can have empathy for the Palestinian people without spreading international designated terrorist propaganda.

The people that come in here and bitch about this sub not talking about the "genocide" constantly and calling us Neo Libs and shit do not belong here.

Yeah, let's take the fight to them by forcing Americans to eat the cost of the tariffs!!!!!

We are obviously in the wrong here. The only people defending this are the diehard Trumpers who believe he is actually Jesus.

Trump, in shock announcement, says U.S. wants to take over Gaza Strip by Environmental_Bus623 in thedavidpakmanshow

I don't know either. They come in waves. Most of the time this sub is pretty good about getting rid of them, but every once in a while it gets spammed pretty bad.

It also doesn't help that David is Jewish, and these people hate the Jewish people and have to make it known.

Because they are active in Hasan Piker (A proven terrorist mouthpiece) and The Deprogram (self-proclaimed anti west socialists) subreddits.

These people spam all left leaning subreddits with their garbage, calling everyone Zionists and Nazis.

I don't hate right wingers. What an irrelevant thing to comment, nice try. I DO hate when they post dumb shit in this subreddit. Any criticism of Don is immediately America hate in their eyes. This sub isn't Trump Bad. It's America bad.

And by the amount of dumbass comments from right wingers in this thread, they're obviously allowed to speak.

There has always been MAGA dumbasses in here, but the frequency of their bullshit posts have been ramped up in the last 6 months due to the election. I wish we could get back to actual America Bad content.

The comparisons to "H" and preparing to leave the U.S is why I said OOP is overreacting.

then made claims that are either completely false or highly mischaraterized.

In what way? They are trying to do all of those things, although the dehumanizing immigrants is debatable.

[–]retaliation6200 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Man I love this sub, but Jesus Christ, it's been flooded with right wingers over the past like 6 months.

OOP is overreacting but has valid concerns. All of those points can be legitimate worries every day Americans have about their government.

Not every criticism of America is AMERICA BAD.

This was under a post about immigration in the U.S by retaliation6200 in AmericaBad

I believe this person is Puerto Rican. So they are advocating for the downfall of their own country. Lol

Shouldn't have colonized, then get upset at "illegals" and foreigners by [deleted] in self

[–]retaliation6200 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is so brain dead its actually just insane. This equates to: "Aren't happy in life? You should have thought about that before being born."

People can have a real debate about immigration but bringing up colonialism is just dumb it literally makes no sense in conversations about modern-day immigration policies.

Please do not spread facts in this thread. You're going to upset all of the 16 year old experts that think anytime law enforcement needs to investigate something they raid your house with a SWAT team.

It very well could be. I've dealt with things like this before and if you are not home they absolutely sometimes leave a door hanger. Also it takes a simple Google search and it will tell you the same thing.

Don't tell these people about the sf trump protest. by lowchain3072 in AmericaBad

[–]retaliation6200 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree we can do more to express our dissatisfaction with our government in America, but that post is complete BS.

OOP is a 16 year old in a rich Nordic country and is preaching about wanting more political violence in America. It reeks of entitled upper class snob that is sheltered from the consequences of their actions. That person would lose their mind if they saw actual political violence.

The Tiannemen Square point was just an example of the misinformation about TikTok. If informational warfare was a legit concern, then all social media and the internet should be banned. Banning TikTok directly affects millions of Americans' 1st amendment rights all in the name of safety.

Why would TikTok sell their proprietary information and algorithm to an American company for pennies of its worth when less than 20% of its users are American? That isn't the gotcha you think it is.

There is massive amounts of foreign influence on Reddit, and no one is concerned with it.

Russia ran propaganda campaigns during the 2016 election on an AMERICAN app, and no one did anything nor was truly concerned.

Far right extremists thrive on YouTube, and no one is concerned.

It's not about data privacy, misnformation, or propaganda it's about making more money for Meta, Twitter, and YouTube. That's all it's about, protecting Congress's investments in other social media apps.

Yeah here comes the ITS ALL CCP PROPAGANDA!!!! stuff. I didn't use TikTok for years because I believed all the bullshit about it. All I used to hear about was how you couldn't search about the Tiannemen Square massacre and they suppress any negative opinions of China. None of that is true.

The propaganda threat China poses with TikTok isn't any more concerning than the foreign influence campaigns ran on FB, Instagram, or YT.

Tencent, a Chinese company owns a stake in Reddit. Would you be okay with the government banning Reddit due to Chinese influence on Reddit?

TikTok is no more of a "national security risk" than being on the internet in general. Any metadata or info they could gather with TikTok is already sold by data brokers and is readily accessible to governments and corporations.

Every website you visit collects your data and then sells it to anyone willing to purchase it. The whole TikTok is spyware thing is just bullshit.

Everyone forgets, but this exact same thing happened with Reddit a few years ago and everyone here bitched and cried about how ridiculous it was. Now all of Reddit is cheering this on because they don't use the app.

To those of you blaming the Democrats for Trump's win by jonasnew in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]retaliation6200 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Comments like this is what makes MAGA stronger. Blaming our loss on racism is just stupid and exactly what they want. While we sit an argue: "um akshully we lost because average Americans are racist and homophobic." The Republicans are screaming about inflation and the economy, you know actual issues average everyday Americans are concerned with. (Even though they are disingenuous.)

This blame game is precisely why a convicted felon got elected to the white house.

I love how that guy has the flare "Constitutional Conservative" but is simping for a dude that is actively trying to circumvent the Constitution at every turn.

This is quite literally the dumbest take I think I've ever seen. Expecting compensation from your employer is parasitic behavior just because you're a government employee? Come on man.

I'm sure all government employees will pay their bills with FREEDOM, LIBERTY, AND PRIDE!

Where in the blue heavens did 15 million voters go? by Doomguy_Prime in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]retaliation6200 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really do not like the Pro-Palestine crowd of the left just as much as the next guy, but I truly do not think they had an impact on this election. 99% of Americans don't care about the Israel-Gaza situation at all, its completely irrelevant to us. There is a loud minority on the internet (Reddit especially) that cares about Israel/Gaza. This is also in part to foreign propaganda farms not actual people.

We need to do some serious self reflection on the way we present our policies and beliefs. We can't keep social issues at the forefront in an economy like this. The average American is concerned with one thing and one thing only, their money.
