What are the chances that the pendulum will swing back on Reddit?
none, the userbase is mostly bots now, and the ones that aren't are NPCs.
once conservatism shifts too far to the right and abandons the common-sense types of positions they have now in favor of trying to legislate cultural freedom out of existence
porn is banned in about a third of the country and the h1-b fight is either them fucking over the american people by supporting big business or racists, then there's the voter id laws. so as it stands they're already more "right wing" than they've been since 2009, when they already lost a lot of people with their censorious bullshit
The moment Americans see too many drone videos
Where would they see them? social media would ban those super hard and probably reinstitute the draft first. like look how well they managed to mostly hide Covid, or how Elon's hiding h1-b stuff. beyond that its all about percentages. when the soviet union went to afghanistan only like 1 out of every 2 people that got drafted ended up going, and thats with much higher social cost and authoritarian measures in place. like if 50% is your theoretical max, then you are only trying to get the below average to join so you're better off casting a very wide net. The US can deal with domestic terrorism but honestly if they just did it like covid where its very easy to circumvent the vaccine and mask laws then the types of psychos that would lash out would just avoid the issue altogether outside of a small handful. like as far as i know there hasn't been any vigilante nonsense because of the coof laws, but plenty of fuckers jumped jobs or moved because of them.
It reminds me of when my aunt was trying to get her down syndrome son a job being a waiter. Any one with any common sense would have told her it was a bad idea, but because its super easy to avoid the issue she spent half a decade trying to find a small place that would teach a clumsy tard to be a waiter. Somehow none of the people in an industry known for psychotics had the spine to tell her it would never happen, and by just letting the issue be easy to side step the draft would work just as well. the big thing people underestimate is how much it takes to get someone with the ability and reason to actually execute an action especially on violent actions. its literally like telling a sweet old lady who raises foster kids that any normal person loses their apatite when they see a retard.
So any "domestic terrorism" is going to be non-existent, especially when you factor how much lower gun ownership and explosive knowledge is now compared to the 70s, boomers were taught how to make mortars in the boy scouts, gen alpha was taught to never assume someone's pronouns.
What style would this be?
what the fuck was that episode? why did the south park writers think that character was funny? why did they make him an asian ginger?
