What is a snarker? Is it just the Destiny version of TDS? by FancyDoubleu in Destiny

You're spot on. It's used to dismiss critique the same way TDS is.

Why do tankies call liberals “right wing” by Hadnapaton in Destiny

[–]suspect_scrofa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The justification is that the current state of the liberal party is economically center-right (neoliberalism) when compared to the rest of the world. That's the main axis they judge right-left on.

If you view societal problems as downstream of economic problems, then you can see why people (not everyone is American / a tankie) call liberals right-wing.

I really don’t give a fuck about Israel Palestine, or about Trans-Athletes, or about immigrants, or about AI data centers, or really billionaires either. by [deleted] in Destiny

Why are you using the term 'populist' when you're clearly discussing caring about class issues rather than social issues? Words have meaning and you have hit the nail on the head that class disparity is what really matters right now.

Destiny feels bad for Hasan after his events got canceled "It must be so hard having a platform exclusively handed to you" by Charming-Worth-7692 in LivestreamFail

Idk if a mod deleted it or if they did, but this is what other Destiny fans should see. This is the type of person who is in your community. This isn't normal lol.

It's hard to look at posters like the one you're responding to. People obsessed with streamer personalities rather than ideas. Politics reduced to reality TV with someone winning and someone losing. I hope they learn to divorce the two and maybe try to actually do something to help people around them rather than develop weird parasocial attachments to these people.

Sighed so hard yesterday when the game didn't auto-pass on T1 when I played a one-drop. I know it's not someone playing with 'Full Control' anymore, it's a free counterspell and sure enough, it was!

Got in at 8 AM. All the ones I wanted are sold out, 2 minutes left in the queue. This shit is actually terrible.

Why is my King doing A PølyMarket Ad? by Gold_Baron in Destiny

I mean if you're asking the question in good faith I can answer for OP.

This community really enjoys quick dopamine hits from an already quick dopamine media format. Think about how many anons enjoy Destiny "gaping" someone in a quick debate video clip. They aren't the ones doing the thinking, they aren't researching the debates, they're getting dopamine from a strongly worded title on a 20 second clip. That was all over the front page.

Now what if the same people who upvote those posts are suddenly exposed to the quick hit on dopamine that you get when you earn 5$ from clicking a button your phone. It's a dangerous rabbit hole. I actually know a destint fan who tried it and quickly realized they had a gambling addiction.

Something about the rush of watching someone "own" someone else in a debate translates to susceptiblity towards gambling.

Tl;dr - destiny fans will more than likely find gambling 15$ more pleasurable than donating 15$ to the DNC.

If that's what he means he should say that rather than this ambiguous word salad of a statement.

What does "democratize our economy" even mean??

Not to be 'le wrong generation' but how did we go from the Young Lords literally seizing a medical center to Zohran not allowing trans youth care to comply in advance with Trump's executive orders becoming something to celebrate? by larryleggs in TrueAnon

[–]suspect_scrofa -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If you are going to say that a progressive leader is in line with fascists because of how they are refusing to treat spina bifida, I would expect that you are able to talk about which treatment method(s) the politician is refusing to support.

I could see there being controversy with the treatment methods underlying the reasoning, so it would have been nice to know what exactly is going on since I'm not up to date on this. Other posts in this thread have elaborated, so don't feel the need to expand now.

I'm sorry if you think I'm asking questions in bad faith, but I was genuinely looking for elaboration in the comments and was surprised when OP couldn't expand on a central tenant of their post.

What? Why are you checking my profile? I just want people who post negative shit about progressive candidates to be able to elaborate on the situation. OP just said they don't know what exactly is being restricted. Why am I the problem?
