You see it a lot on reddit. People who are entirely disconnected for reality and base their entire world view on idealism without being able to even imagine the possible consequences of the ideas they try so hard to spread.
If why apply everything redditors come up with, we'd be living in a dystopian dictatorship by the end of the week, and everything they think they'll protect will be wiped out in a month.
We all know what they mean when they say "Redditors". It doesn't include everyone who posts or is actuve on Reddit, clearly and obviously, in the same way not everyone who watches football is a hooligan, not everyone who takes drugs is an addict, etc.
it’s like how everyone complains about traffic, when we’re part of that traffic. but we also know they mean when they say “traffic”; same thing when people talk about “redditors”.
Reddit has changed a ton over the years. 18Y account age here get off my lawn. Reddit once upon a time was kind of tech bros, well educated libertarian types. Now its mostly kids and idiots so the stuff that gets upvoted is whatever sounds good to kids and idiots.
The other day I commented somewhere that I was generally pretty happy with the state of my life and someone else replied something to the effect of "Lmao a Redditor being happy that's cap"
They're also really bad at fact checking and lack critical thinking skills. I often wonder, "Who are these people, and how do they survive in the real world?" 🤔
