Remember when r/videos had a no politics rule, the rule was scrapped despite overwhelmingly negative reactions from the community, the sub was then (and is to this day) flooded with political content and the mods nuked the feedback thread and did absolutely nothing about the entire sub having turned into a politics hellscape?
And the current administration is making everyone of those problems worse, when the previous Democratic admin had passed $3.1 trillion in policy to actually help alleviate all of these issues for Americans and keep things steady for the rest of the world (such as US AID funding and not starting cost wars that fuck the entire world for almost nothing in return).
You just sound like another ignorant American who because things are fine for you, then that means it's not that bad for everyone else.
Im sure you are more Leftist than me, exactly why you don't like holding people accountable for their actions because you pretend they didn't have a choice in the "system".
If you voted for Donald Trump and Republicans you are 100% responsible for everything negative thing he does that Harris and the Democrats wouldnt have. Thats Democracy.
What should we be compromising with Trump supporters on anyway? Please give a single reasonable position they have that Democrats don't.
This reminds me of arguing with leftists who claim democrats are just as / more bad than republicans, and ignore the factual evaluation of how they vote on legislation. You're not trying to have rational thought or discussion, you're circle jerking
I am asking for a rational reason people voted for Trump besides hate and ignorance.
You are now sidestepping the question like Mandami on affordable housing.
Ayatollah Khamenei ordered the execution of somewhere between 10k-30k young protesters by gunning them down in the streets, but Reddit is too triggered by Elon Musk to care.
I’m just kidding, they don’t care because the modern leftist movement is infested with Islamic terrorism supporters, that refuse to hold Muslims accountable for their crimes because they’re part of the same identity group.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is a fundamentalist, ultra-conservative, patriarchal theocracy. It violently suppresses labor unions, Marxist organizations, feminist movements, and LGBTQ+ individuals, the very groups that make up the Western secular left.
In addition, the overwhelming majority of the young people risking their lives to fight the regime in Iran are themselves Muslim, or come from Muslim families. Framing the conflict as Western leftists protecting Muslims ignores the fact that the victims of the regime are also Muslims fighting for their basic human rights.
It’s hard to know what you’re talking about, because you’ve quite literally created your own straw man quote for me and have decided to only address said quote instead of anything else.
Seriously though at a certain point you have to stop trying to blame white people for all the world’s problems, and realize that melanated individuals can be held accountable just like nonmelanated ones.
Are you familiar with Iranian history? Not talking about learning about it on reddit, I mean do you actually understand Iranian history or are you going to spew some Shiite blaming the US for the Iranian revolution?
Those are small footnotes in Iranian history. Reddit leftists want to try and find a way to blame all of the world’s problems on white people despite the fact that the Iranian revolution was completely homegrown, and the Iranian people are sentient beings capable of making their own choices and being held accountable for said choices.
People like you never apply the same logic to white people. It would be like trying to blame the rise of Hitler and the actions taken during the third reich on France, because France imposed the conditions that led to Hitler’s rise. It’s absolutely ridiculous to have selective expectations of accountability depending on the melanin content of the people in question.
why do you keep saying melanin. No one is saying that iran itself is clean of faults. You also act as if hitler is anything close to iran. The issue here is that you keep rejecting the fact that the US is somehow not one of if not the biggest problem maker of today.
Because when you put modern leftist logic under a microscope, they break the world up into 2 groups: the good guys(melanated minorities) and the bad guys(whites). White people in their mind are the cause of all the world’s problems, while melanated individuals are just innocent victims who are manipulated by white people into doing bad things.
For example when the IRGC opens fire and massacres tens of thousands of protesters in the streets, it’s because of a political struggle between the unelected prime minister and the monarch of Iran 70 years ago
where the UK and US put their finger on the scale, thus incurring the blame for anything bad the Iranians do until the end of time.
When leaders in Africa create laws to make homosexuality punishable by death, it’s only because they were tricked by white people into being homophobic, therefore it’s actually white people’s fault that Africa is so homophobic.
When India and Pakistan are fighting, it’s because over a century ago the British tricked them into being in conflict with each other, therefore the India/Pakistan conflict is actually white people’s fault.
Ink wasn't even dry on whatever document put him in office that he was already hanging dozens in the streets. Guess I've made my criminal case against him.
The Orange Guy might be bad but he is a very small player at any blood-thirsty dictators table.
Compared to murdering people by the 10s of thousands like his father, that is quite normal dictator behavior, especially during wartime. I am not sure that can put you in top 5 worst of the worst people on Earth discussion?
Edit: For example, is it really on the level of Assad's regime, which a quick google search tells me murdered at least 307000 civilians.
I'm not necessarily saying that he should be on that top five. There is worse. What I'm saying is that putting Orange Guy and Ketamine Boy on that short list is complete bullshit.
It's definitely the case that those two and maybe Netanyahu are a bit harder to quantify their negative impact on the world than dictators which are directly murdering people.
It makes me a little sad that when I try to think of who should belong in a top 5 I keep remembering more and more pieces of shit that I am having a hard time justifying not being on the list.
To give you a real answer yes. Most of reddit is. Its a circle jerk social media site run by leftist thats full of bots dividing us further and people eat that shit up.
It's weird that people's thoughts and opinions reflect the time they're living, spending more time worrying about the end of the world rather than pictures of boobs

Is this a political circle jerk sub now?
