  • It began with Eggs. Yes, eggs. A lot of voters thought if they brought Trump back, he’d lower the price of eggs. So he got in, the prices of eggs remained and eventually he told everyone to shut up about them. Now that eggs are back at a reasonable price range, there’s issue after issue with him.

    I’m going to link something that details and tracks every little thing he’s done right here Trump’s Crimes

    But Trump is merely the symptom of a even greater problem. Because people asked the very same question when George W Bush was re-elected in 2004. They asked that again when Reagan was re-elected, they asked that when George H.W Bush got a term. The Republicans are going by the playbook of taking advantage of out-of-touch individuals in the country, particularly rural voters, and playing up to them about their concerns. A lot of people in the country are largely single-minded voters, who believe, if they got X in the office, they will take care of that problem and almost let them have free reign at anything else.

    And this kind of mindset is damaging, only amplified the day Trump got his first term. At the time though, I still liked to have believed that the Democrats blindsided Bernie Sanders who was gaining momentum and was for the people (both times he tried running anyways). And the DNC didn’t want that so they pushed for Hilary Clinton to take the nomination. And the people who been following and tracking, took great offense to this (even though they could’ve just said ‘Fuck you’ to the ballots by writing in Bernie anyways, like I did, just not enough of them cared to) and decided to just throw everything upside down by having Trump in office.

    We suffered for 4 years of his chaos then, then by the time the 2020 elections rolled over, we reluctantly voted Biden as a means to put at end to the-then madness of events of Trump’s first term. We saw some progress but not the kind of progress we expected out of Biden, who didn’t have all of the tools necessary for someone having been beside Obama. And when the 2024 elections rolled around, there was this massive uptick in MAGA/QAnon/GOP/Nazi movement going on that was allowed run unchecked and they have been doing their damage. Sure enough even with Harris plugged in at last minute for the few months left of campaigning, the 75+ million uninformed, deranged lunatics from the aforementioned movement got Trump back in.

    And the chaos has resumed, more harsher than the first term.



  • People don’t join Reddit to partake in things politically. The real attraction is how numerous that there are of communities anyone can join, that covers just about nearly anything anyone has ever thought of. It’s almost endless. There’s a community for someone out there and there’s interaction in them.

    The problem was when people got fucking politics into their god damn heads way too damn much that they practically ruined everything for everyone everywhere. And I find it ironic that you call it a right wing propaganda machine when the last time I was there, there were volumes of these right-wingers complaining up and down how Reddit was left-wing.

    But that’s just an example too of how damn contagious all of these fucking politics has gotten everything.


  • Yeah I know any and all accounts I’ll ever make on Reddit will immediately be shadow-banned. The old trick of making a new account through your usual email, going on AskReddit, get a few karma points to be in the clear and be on your way is no longer working.

    I’ve been on Reddit for 10-ish years so I’m pretty sure they’ve long caught on to all behavior patterns. It is ridiculous how much shit gets allowed while you feel like you’re the one targeted and banned for being the one playing by what rules there are, as fucking loose as they are.

    I can appeal as many times as I want but I’m never getting a response back, because they know they have me by the IP and that’s essentially all that they’ll ever need. They see me make an account through my IP and it’s like “ohp, there they are again…BAN!” kind of deal. I’ve undergone a complete PC reinstall of Windows to erase all and any of those evercookies they’ve been practicing to keep those who try ban evading away, still the same thing.

    Doesn’t matter what e-mail service I use, same thing. Could have gone VPN but I think that didn’t work either at one point.

    It has just simply gotten ridiculous. And with Spez there, the shitstain, being a proclaimed billionaire now off the backs of everyone expendable, why should he give a single shit about retooling anything? He’s done away with APIs that were useful, that was the beginning of the end there if there wasn’t before.

    I know someone mentioned a method in the comments here as to how to circumvent everything, maybe I’ll try that, I guess. Yeah I should be the change and whatnot for the Fediverse but we’re 2 years into the matter and I’m not seeing any substantial progression. I see hundreds of potential magazines just float around, dead. While there’s like 20 Technology ones, 30 Games ones, 25 more Tech-related ones .etc .etc that make me roll my eyes because it only tells me where the real priorities are.

    When the Fediverse should be so much more than that, because Reddit still outclasses it by how many niche and relatively active microcommunities that there is.






  • Too bad we’re several generations removed from the times when the people actually held the politicians accountable for what they’ve done.

    Now we’re in the generation of armchair revolution and “we’ll say what we want to do but…won’t actually do it” kinds.

    That’s how today’s politicians and the past few administrations have gotten away. This administration has thoroughly proven as to how absolutely lazy and uneducated a majority of Americans are.

    The more times we ask ourselves “what can we really do?” or “nothing we can do about it” is just one more W for these politicians.









  • There’s a saying that goes about leading a horse to water but can’t force it to drink, something along those lines.

    You could go through so much effort to water down the language to make it easily digesting for them to read, but then they’d cry about how dumb you’re making them look.

    You could try to improve that by using words to better explain, but then they’d just harp on you for using words they don’t understand.

    You can jot down a multi-paragraph explanation about such and such, but then they’d whine and bitch about how long it was for them to read.

    It’s just, you can’t win with stupid. Willingly stupid, at that.
