    I’m not going to inflict you on them just to make a point, know what I mean?

    That seems weirdly hostile

    if you’re curious, you’ll find em;

    Groups looking to take action should be trying to be seen, not acting like a secret society. This alone means they’re almost certainly failing in their duties, if they exist at all.

    where are you finding these “real activist groups”?

    Reddit often has location specific subreddits. Often times a cities subreddit for instance might organize a protest, rally, transport for voting, etc.

    I really can’t understand any defence of modern Reddit whatsoever (assuming you’re defending modern Reddit, you didn’t indicate otherwise).

    What a crazy logical leap this whole bit is. “You didn’t say something completely unrelated so therefore you must have opinion I made up”.

    There is obviously a lot wrong with modern reddit, but that’s about management and ownership of the site, and therefore the enshitification and control.

    What I was discussing is the people using said site. Two obviously separate concepts.

    are you talking about subreddits that have managed to fly under the radar or something?

    Not every bit of positive action is so brazen and offensive that it would violate TOS.

    completely agree that we got a whoooole lotta thoughtless meme’ing here. Pretty much comes with the territory though…

    The signal to noise ratio is veeeery low here though. There are also a shit ton of weirdly pro russia/pro CCP noise with people who seem to trying to be impossible to talk to on purpose for some reason. Like they aren’t trying to actually effectively convince anyone of anything, just circle jerk in a weird cult like atmosphere where they just vaguely bust out stalinisms.

      You don’t seem to really even be trying to read my comments charitably, a courtesy I’ve been extending to you. That’s not a discussion, it’s just trying to score points on someone.

      You do you, but I’m all done.

        What a weird bout of projection. Your weaponized civility was not well camoflauged at all. It was right out there in the open, especially given you started with “I’m not going to inflict you on them”

        You baited out a comment with effort just to put out a comment with no effort accusing me of what you’re doing when literally all of your queries were answered. Troll behaviour.

          You couldn’t be more wrong dude. I was sincerely interested in what you had to say. My “not going to inflict you on them” was entirely couched in an explanation most people would consider reasonable, and phrased in a way that I tried to make clear wasn’t an attack - it was only unfamiliarity. What I said is I don’t know you, not that I dislike you. And ya know what? Turns out I was right lol, you’re impossible to talk to!

          You’re doing the thing right now. You’ve made up your mind completely about who I am and what I’m up to, and anything I say, you interpret through that lens.

          I can’t help you with that. And sheesh, even speaking politely is interpreted by you as a trolling tactic? Get a fucking grip, you sound like an asshole and a moron. Why would anyone who disagrees with you bother to go through this? Besides which, you’re just wrong. You don’t have to go far through my comment history to find an instance of me strongly disagreeing with someone (re: recent comments by Obama). At the end of it, I realized they were right, I was the one misreading, and I apologized. But hey, maybe that’s another one of my sophisticated troll techniques!

          I don’t hate you, I’m not mad at you, I don’t wish you ill will. I just don’t want to talk to you, and wish I hadn’t bothered.

          Go ahead and spin this comment into whatever weird shit, too, should be entertaining.

            Ah look, another big toxic comment not even passive aggressively hurling insults.

            Not even worth the time to read it all. Apparently your “You do you, but I’m all done.” was indeed an obvious lie. (Double downvoting me with an alt is hillarious shit too)
