I deleted Reddit from my home screen when the mods did the fake strike and I’ve mostly kept off of it since then, but in the past few weeks I’ve opened it out of boredom and holy God is it just a truly awful place. My only explanation is that it’s a window into the psyche of the American middle class email job worker and they’re so fucking brain rotten that it hurts to even look at.
I thought I was misremembering or that 
was just a good meme, but that site really does represent the absolute worst of American liberalism. I don’t even have anything specific to say, I just need to scrape out the festering mass that a 15 minute scroll session there created in my brain.
like, the last subreddits i was active in were a few niche band subreddits and 196 just as it was starting to get worse and worse bcs like, as shit as the western chauvinism in there is, it was at least, idk, a space where i could be openly queer and shit, even though it was like stuffed to the gills with chasers (at least they weren’t open transphobes / queerphobes ig) and i was kind of just a pick me femboy egg gradually coming to terms with non gender comformity.
but yeah, eventually i got banned for telling someone to minecraft themselves for doing like an “upvote to scare the tankies” thing over an image of Syngman Rhee, either that or for saying basically the same to someone saying that the US should go back into afghanistan, i cant remember which one the ban was for, and then i decided to like, just delete my account
196 is a hive of scum and villainy my god. unironic joe biden praise like, weekly from the vaunted ‘leftists and anarchists’ of
I thought it was like, decently common consensus that Rhee was a brutal dictator, I’ve certainly seen liberal Youtubers say as much (in a “he was just as bad as Kim” way but still), but I guess nothing is too far for Vaushite radlibs if it pisses off the tankie boogeyman.
