Reddit's journey FROM toxic cesspool?! Reddit is literally Checkpoint 1 on the Toxic Manosphere Journey to Radicalization and Domestic Terrorism. any content moderation is being done by the UNPAID VOLUNTEER subreddit mods while the admins and their bot-run "anti-evil operations" greenlight all sorts of misogyny, transphobia and harassment.
you can't say that they're frustrated with "political correctness" and immigration and "modern liberalism" in one breath, and "not all hateful and ignorant" in the next. and you especially can't define a CLASS by their EDUCATION and then say the uneducated ones aren't ignorant. words have meanings, and the dictionary does not fucking work that way.
THAT'S CALLED RACISM
or bigotry, more generally. or the stupidity of the uneducated, whom Trump has explicitly said he loves. gee I wonder why he likes stupid people so much?
(as an aside, how is trade restriction a LEFT-wing idea? righties only like free trade for the rock-bottom slave-labor wages, I don't see anybody on the left calling for tariffs and trade restrictions because that's fucking STUPID)
again I must express my frustration with defining "working CLASS" by EDUCATION level. your economic CLASS is not determined by how many years you spent in college. it is determined by how much MONEY YOU MAKE. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, all billionaires, no college degrees. you wouldn't call them working class, would you?
yeah that's not the racism vote, that's the SEXISM vote. that's the group that voted for Obama in 2012 not because they actually liked Obama, but because they utterly despised Sarah Palin as VP. not because of the things she said or believed in, just because they're the "women don't belong in politics" crowd. because outside of that, there is absolutely nothing consistent about the beliefs of Obama-Trump voters. Trump literally campaigned as Obama's opposite!
this doesn't make any sense to me, of course it would. every single person who is coming to this country, legally but especially illegally, is trying to escape exceptional hardship. whether it's "gangs have taken over and are trying to sell my daughter into sex trafficking" or "I can't afford to feed my family" or "I would like to live somewhere with indoor plumbing." that's all hardship that no one should be forced back to.
yes? millennials are not a monolith. some don't want kids at all, ever. some want kids but will never be able to afford having them. some delay having them until they're more financially secure (but as an elder millennial myself, the clock is running out on that strategy). and some don't want kids but have the misfortune of getting knocked up anyway and not being able to do anything about it. trust me, you do not want to rely on those cases to "fix population growth."
fuck twitter, fuck mastodon, fuck post.news and FUCK threads
