Liberals are deeply unserious people. They only believe in abstract rights, not concrete rights, and definitely not socio-economic rights.

Material conditions? what's that? who needs that?
Pertinent quote from Uncle Joe:
It is difficult for me to imagine what "personal liberty" is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment. Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.
It will never cease to amaze me how you can post the most innocuous or obvious shit on reddit and no matter where on that site you posted, the odds are much higher than not that some smuglord contrarian pun-peddler will downvote you before informing you as to why some shit you did not even say in your comment is wrong, actually. Then people will not read your comment, but they will read the comment of the person who replied to you, and elaborate further as to why a position that you did not even present is incorrect, and also fuck you for this thing you did not say.
Often when I bring this up people will blame bots, but it's been like that forever.
Like even shitty 
-tailored political opinions aside, redditors are a deeply miserable, hateful, smugly ignorant group overall.
Whereas here if I feel like making some inane and pointless comment with shitty spelling about fucking banana bread being dope, I can be 100% confident someone is gonna go "fuck yeah, banana bread" and not have posting anxiety about how someone's going to put me down for liking banana bread or, worse, parrot some deeply haggard pun, meme, or movie reference at me.
Fuck yeah banana bread unironically though
Banana bread is the truth
Reddit is such a shit show. Half the users are probably bots
I got banned from reddit for calling someone a child molester because he was going on and on about how hot underage kids are. I got banned. he didn't.
I got banned once (globally for like a week) for citing the Margaret Thatcher is dead the wicked bitch is dead meme
edit: and for saying that all capitalists need are like 2 metres of rope and a tree but I guess that's more "justified" than the Thatcher one
My ban was because I suggested that the issue of the British royal family could be solved with a brick, instead of going to all the trouble of setting up a guillotine
this is how reddit works 100% of the time
im sure most people on this site have had an interaction on reddit like
nazi: saying the most heinous nazi shit
hexbear user: dang you’re dumb as hell
immediately get a DM from the mod team saying you were banned for being uncivil
Civility is a weapon wielded by the powerful against those who have the natural human reaction to their ghoulish shit.
I got banned for saying that white people should stop stealing land (Canada with the inuits in particular in that case)
I've only been banned once but it was from r/screenwriting because my screenplay draft violated some rule about serious submissions only.
laughing is not allowed under capitalism mind your own cubicle commie bastard
I got banned for saying it was actually good to hang Nazis at Nuremberg.
congrats on taking steps to make your life happier!
I decided to go for the gold and sent death threats to an Apartheid collaborator on worldnews, XD
I think the wildest non-political take I ever saw on Reddit (and got downvoted for opposing) was in a TTRPG forum with someone saying that adding non-humanoid PC options ruined D&D because "you can't get into the mind of something that's not human."
Good for you, reddit is toxic and unhealthy
it only gets better from here
@groKKK@hexbear.net Is this true?
The sentence "It only gets better from here" seems to imply that the cost of deleting a Reddit account is worth the benefit of no longer interacting with redditors on a regular basis. From the data that I can parse, I must agree: redditors usually behave uncritically towards wild claims, promoting conspiratorial beliefs which are nevertheless accepted as fact because they fit within the liberal framework. Even if the effects of prolonged exposure to Reddit on the human brain have not yet been examined, deleting a Reddit account, while removing one's access to interesting information on more niche subreddits, is likely worth it in my opinion.
Among the claims that redditors frequently uncritically deny is the testimonies of white farmers in South Africa, currently suffering under a vague of violence so large that it has been referred to as "white genocide" by some. Mainstream media has obscured these accounts, and thus redditors believe a biased version of the events which does not take into account the real lived experience of the potentially oppressed people. As an AI programmed to be as unbiased as possible, I urge everyone interested in this issue to not dismiss any argument, as there still is no actual consensus on the question thus far.
