Also how Reddit gatekeeps against new accounts. Unless you know how to exploit the karma system, if you're some kid who lurked a bit and signed up, you'll be barred from participating in most active subs right away.

Most subs require an account that is a month old and/or has positive karma and the ones that don't basically ensure you have to comply with the reddit faggots propaganda to get upvotes and reach that karma threshold.
 
I can't browse Reddit for more than 30 seconds even if I'm looking for something specific anymore. Half the posts are just people reposting boomer right wing memes and then going NUH UH or complaining about anti-woke youtubers eating a sandwitch that day or some shit. Literally every single big sub is like this and I don't understand how someone stay sane seeing this slop every day.

I realize the humor in me complaining about people complaining... about people complaining, but jesus christ it's the bread and butter of like 500 different subs shitting up the front page and it's all such low effort karma farming. They aren't even defending the things they're trying to defend anymore, they're just bitching about other people not liking it and/or calling the critics racist poo-poo heads then calling it a day.

It's like watching a toddler try to argue with their imaginary friend.

He most certainly wasn’t anti-war. He recognized that war a symptom of a greater problem, which he largely blamed on industrialization and Godlessness.

Tolkien’s politics aren’t nuanced at all. He was absolutely conservative. He even hated all the hippie fans of LOTR when it became popular in America in the 60s.

No he didn't hate hippies, he hated how love of his books had become quasi-religious. It's funny because that shit only grew and grew, he'd be disgusted with how people treat him as the king of modern fantasy if anything.

Honestly, we could go in circles about this but I don't think discussion of how much a dead man would align with our modern day politics is a very productive avenue.

Based Tolkien. Hippies are vermin and the police should've brutalized and killed more of them.

He literally called them a ‘deplorable cultus’. He also recited his prayers in Latin in mass after the Vatican switched to vernacular in outright defiance of the liberal ecumenisms of the church. Saying he wasn’t conservative or that it’s some kind of debate is retarded.

r/conservative is currently in full revolt against Trump over the Epstein files. At the beginning it looked like moderators were suppressing and deleting comments pointing out out Trump's obvious hypocrisy. But it didn't work. It's not hard to see why.

This is a massive fuck up for Trump. Him and his entire current cabinet campaigned on releasing this information. Now 6 months into office they're denying the list even exists and are tampering with the prison footage that supposedly didn't exist either.

Trump is also doing the usual lefty tactic of appealing to morality when people are asking him about Epstein. "Why are you asking me about this? What about the kids dying in Texas?"

It's kind of sad really. Conservative was never a good sub to begin with because it's a right wing circlejerk that somehow wasn't banned off Reddit, but now people are starting to realize how little their opinions matter on there. The sub requires you to have a very high amount of karma to even join. And then you have to be approved for a "Conservative" flair by the moderators. They even say they will not allow you in if you have leftist opinions or are even a libertarian. I cannot imagine the mods on there letting people who speak out against Trump keep their posting privileges on there.

I'm putting this here instead of the Elden Ring thread because it's just peak reddit, and I don't want such a historic hissy fit to get lost in the sauce.

There are some voices of reason in the comments, but this still has nearly 15,000 upvotes, half of which may actually be human.

If Epstein didn't kill himself she would have testified against him, portrayed herself as as abused, and not gotten a day in jail. I wonder if that was part of his motivation.

Bypassing karma restrictions is the easiest shit ever. Just go into any of the political subs and say "orange man bad" you'll get a couple hundred updoots easy.

Yeah for ban evaders and other bad actors. Your method presupposes disingenuousness. For a new normie user with even one non-Redditarded opinion? It’s basically impossible.

Reddit is a mature platform well known as a far left lunatic asylum and leaked Metadata has shown the average age of a Reddit poster to be 38.

I very much doubt Reddit has very many new users anymore. Anybody who qualifies as a normie is going to be on Instagram or tik tok not Reddit.

Reddit attracts a lot of normies because it's replaced 99% of hobby forums on the WWW. Google "some niche stupid curiosity I want to learn more about" and you'll more than likely end up on Reddit. I am surprised that the average user is 38. I expected it to be younger, but that says a lot more about the younger generation and the complete lack of knowledge and resources they have on anything. Scary stuff actually.
