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 reddit-logo 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.

      “upvote to scare the tankies” thing over an image of Syngman Rhee

      jesus-christ

      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.
