I'm not sure if this is a "both sides" spiel or a "I hate politics because I'm really pretty conservative but know my actual positions are too unpopular to actually advocate in liberal America" take.

"This applies to both sides" How very brave of you to call out the people who drive around with Harris trucks to Harris parties decked out in their Harris jackets and hats, trading AI generated pictures of sexy Harris.

You know, those things that are real and really happen.

Look dingbat, calling Trump and his ilk "weird" is not idolizing their opponents, it's simply calling a spade a spade. If you're too cowardly to stand up for what you believe in, don't think trying to slip in a picture of a kitchen magnet is going to make it any better.

My ban was for quoting someone who said a slur so they couldn't edit their comment after I reported it, and I said as much in my report.

It's the moderators, they are dumb as fuck because there's no consequence because they're all volunteers. The only thing stupider than the volunteer mods who don't demand pay, are the people who get hung up on what moderators are doing or not. We should have all stopped taking reddit so seriously a long, long time ago. Protests? Jesus christ, a reddit protest does as much real-world good as a kindergarten protest by the children mad that they can't get more cookies.

Nobody is going to quit, all mod roles can be replaced in minutes with people excited to do it. If they have to, they can pay them even and make them official employees and never have to worry about protests again.

Also, who cares, the site has a clock over it, in a few years most users will be bots and children and all content will be farmed slop akin to youtube.

Furthermore, if anyone thinks that "protests" on reddit accomplish ANYTHING that person is a literal child, or someone else who shouldn't be trusted to operate heavy machinery.

Whatever high ideals we had for reddit a decade ago are long-since dead and buried and that's fine, instead of whinging about what we lost we should be trying to figure out what to build next to maintain some semblance of an internet in an age of AI slop.

What? and lose THE MOST EFFECTIVE PROTEST PLATFORM EVER MADE? I couldn't imagine what else we would use to teach corporations and politicians a harsh lesson (insert giant eye rolling emoji)

Lot of delusional people out there on both sides who think that an armed uprising is actually viable and would lead to better outcomes.

As if we wouldn't have to share the country with the other half of people who don't want you to uprise shit and will hate you even more if you try.

No, you don't want an uprising. You don't even want to get off the couch, so lets stop lying to ourselves. You want better management of the system so you don't feel so hopeless and tired that you rather just melt into the couch every day.

We got here because they made you unwilling to get involved in your community and your local politics. If everyone cared more for changing their local communities, then we would have a much better federal system with our rights being upheld. You don't kick money out of politics on a federal level, you do it town by town, county by county, state by state. But most people are so lazy that they think they can sit inside as everyone does an armed revolt outside and then the world will be better.

Nah dog, you gotta get out and make changes with the tools we have. Stop believing in magic.

Dead serious issues that I expect to see addressed in the VP debate.

Then everyone clapped. That clap's name? Albert Musk.

That’s not a definition of middle class at all.

Christ that's the point of what I wrote and the point of this post. That's some reddit-level density my friend.

I'm shocked, the title of the story left so much out, I was really wondering who the unhinged, deranged psychopath was in a story about someone assaulting a mail carrier for delivering the mail.

"Why do they have to make my mail POLITICAL??"

If you define "middle class" as having a phone and a car and a job, then yes, there are countless middle-class families who get some form of assistance.

Middle-class, working families who live in their fucking car.
