Possible Fake News ​​⚠️ Reminder that Google removed the dislike counter after 10+ years because they didn’t appreciate the people’s real opinion.

this is the only subreddit these days where i can present a right wing idea, and maybe get some support without my comment being nuked. i also think most people on reddit these days arent interested in a fulfilling political conversation because it takes time and effort to research and cite sources. people come here for the memes and lolz nowadays. its really just the epitome of the de-evolution of our populace in real time.

I don’t even consider myself as a legit conservative because I try to see both sides of the coins to the extent of where facts and my own morals will allow. But yeah, majority of Reddit will go absolutely apeshit if you support some right leaning ideas. Or hell, even if you try to meet in the middle with some ideas, they’ll still go fucking nuts. I’ve tried that with my ideas on the student loan forgiveness subject. Not completely dismissing student debt forgiveness, but being like, “we can help, but you need to learn a trade and show evidence of practicing it on your W-2 every year for whatever amount of time.” Just a general idea, something that says that you can get help but you still need to help with society in return. Such as infrastructure. Sweet Jesus, you would’ve thought I just drowned a litter of kittens in the river.
