You mean some pedes were still hanging around on Reddit?

What the hell is wrong with them

Force of habit. Reddit wasn’t always the cucked, liberal infested shithole it’s become. Ever since Spez the Fag took over, it all went downhill fast.

Going on GreatApes and engaging is how I learned that not all racists are hateful. Most of them actually pity minorities.

Its how i learned to recognize the racism of the left. Which is probably why they banned it.

It’s an interesting concept, the racism of the Left. If you take a moment to really analyze the things they do to minorities and how they just completely brainwash them, it’s almost terrifying.

The Left wants to enslave not just them, but anyone who disagrees with their ideology. This obviously isn’t news, but sometimes I feel we forget the type of people we’re trying to save the US from.

Im still shocked people believe the left is anti-racist or truly gives a fuck.Its merely a tool they use for power. Period. Why do they use it? Because its EXTREMELY effective. Find the target, lie and call them racist or whatever, the seas part and power is gained. Now comes an interesting time where they have never been more exreme in American history and literally no checks or balances to contend with. And big tech will do its part to censor anyone who says otherwise. Or deplatform, same thing.

There was a man on the street video in which white people were asked about voter ID and if it's racist and they all basically said "Yes, voter ID is racist because blacks are too stupid and lazy to get an ID." The interview then played white people's reactions to black people. It was pretty funny how most blacks just shook their heads and said the white people were just ignorant.

Most white racists in 2021 are not hateful TBH. I mean, they are still racist and it's still wrong, but most of them get to that place as backlash from leftwing racism. And most of them don't wish ill on other races, they just want to be left alone.

I come from a pretty liberal place and am pretty liberal for a pede. And it drives me nuts that most people I know on the two sides are really not that far apart. When I sit down and have conversations with people and really break it down it's pretty easy to see that both sides aren't that different and both sides are kind of racist in their own way.

The real problem becomes when you're convinced that your racism is justice. Like.... right wing racism tends to sprout from the want to not have your culture trampled on. To live in an insulated white neighborhood and when minorities do come to ensure they conform. Whereas left wing racism wants to attack that culture because it's perceived as racist.

Like... .take affirmative action. It's a great idea to give kids who didn't have private ivy league tutors a leg up in college admissions tor the want of a more diverse school. But WTF does it have to be based on color? Couldn't we base it on economic status? Letting a rich black kid with private tutors into your school isn't helping anyone that's disadvantaged.

Sorry this got long.... I think both sides get race wrong... but I think this side at least gets the idea that they might be wrong sometimes. The other side just assumes it's right and that vindicates it all.

every race is allowed to have pride in their race except whites... how is that not racist?

conservativeyuppie 17 points ago +17 / -0

This is true, I've got a Dominican friend who's hung out with white supremacists and he said they were chill people who had no issues hanging out with him, they just wouldn't want him to move into their neighborhood. It's no different from the attitude in inner city minority communities, hence why all the bitching about gentrification.

The right are race sensitive, not racist. People like to conflate the two, because it's to their advantage to do so. The only reason there's a discussion about racism at all is because the right are race sensitive and want to be fair. That doesn't happen in racist countries, they're just racists. They don't even think about racism as an idea. You're inferior and that's that.

Back in my day, the actual straight up racists, neo-nazis, skinheads that we would run into. When you'd get one of them alone, the story was always the same, some black guy beat them up. That racism didn't last very long, after they grew up and got some internal perspective.

What people consider racism now is actually a smaller part of a larger concept that has nothing to do with race at all. It's like how microaggressions are a tiny piece of a larger concept that only applies to the thing they want.

What you described above as being racist is not even close to being racist. What you described makes them normal human beings. I hope you just mistyped and don’t actually believe that.

"The soft bigotry of low expectations."

GWB was and is a douchenozzle, but that phrase really hit home with a younger me. Such a succinct way to describe the entire leftist belief system, but especially their views on race.

Nothing could be more racist than believing that a person is inherently disadvantaged simply because of the color of their skin.

Reddit used to have a variety of racist subreddits, I think they started banning them maybe a year or two before Trump? Maybe longer, I can't remember.

Probably unbelievable to many that a lot of us got our first red pills on r/politics. If anyone wants to know, the atmosphere of tdw is what old reddit used to be like. Even as late as spring of 2016, you wouldn't find a positive post about Clinton/the dems/establishment. That all changed the day after their convention when Bernie bent the knee. Overnight it became a propaganda cesspool. No matter what happens I'll forever thank the mods for building tdw and giving us at least a year's worth of a freedom platform.

Reddit loved Ron Paul purely because he was going to legalize pot. Then in 2016 those same people went for Bernie Sanders because marijuana, plus a little free college thrown in. Even when Gary Johnson did an AMA during the eduction the top voted question was about pot. Goddamnit Reddit is so predictable.

ChrisSuperDude 4 points ago +4 / -0

To be fair though, pot legalization was the only thing Gary Johnson had a legit plan on that he said he was gonna do.

These were results of the Ellen Pao monetization plan.

She came in and went on a recruiting spree to bring in her people. There's some classic chan posts of engineers for reddit at the time commenting at the incompetence on display, laying out how they destroyed core value of the platform. Spez came in. Ellen went out. Ellen's people stayed and shit up the place with a sprinkling of glitter and spritz of pinterest. Sanitized to the lowest common denominator of most authoritarian communist country. And you've got a deformed gimp reddit 2.0 product nobody but marketing teams, bots, and disinfo agents could tolerate.

The great mods are gone. The community builders. The professionals hobbying for free together in that space. When Google results returned pages of results sorted by highest marketing budget, you could research almost any product or problem on reddit and get authentic comment in far faster time. The value was honest sentiment analysis of the general public. This was a supercharged pool for rapid exchange of ideas, improving the human. They polluted and destroyed that reservoir of information and imagination. That was their killer feature and value.

Like Digg before it they pulled out the rusty knife and cut off the part of themselves they'll miss most.

They still had and have a lot of momentum, and that momentum helps them a lot. I go there maybe once a month or so, typically due to search results reg. technical stuff, and the format there seems much worse than it used to (and many more overt ads, though I guess that is the monetization kicking in).

The reddit model itself tends to have both advantages and issues, which you can see in various ways in some of the reddit-like sites. Hidden promoters, artificial upvote/downvote-opinion-shaping, some comments that were benign being unintentionally hidden, etc. I think this site is very good at avoiding some of these, (much) better than other reddit-like sites I have seen overall, but definitely not all these issues.

I think sites such as the ch[ns are very good supplements to a site such as this.

You remind me how obnoxious the redesign was. Information density is king. The design for dependency infantilization trend in the last decade of tech loads white space, eliminates density to more directly focus attention. Results in a crap experience when what I need is a dense list to skim through quickly, pluck out items of interest, and rapidly get into it. Defaulting to 'old.reddit.com' to restore functionality is a pain in the ass that lead to moving back to RSS feeds for general use.

What I find funny, is that if the conservative people all left Reddit/Twitter/Facebook and went to something like Parler, away from all the liberal idiots on the other platforms, without anyone to argue with or to hate on, they would all soon turn on each other. You can already see it on Reddit. People in liberal subreddits arguing with each other and trying to one up each other in a game of "No I'm the bigger fucking retard!" Without us, they eat each other and turn each other in to the gulags they all begged and pleaded for from their Tech Overlords who were all to happy to oblige. If Conservatives left, they would have nobody to fight against and they would turn on each other and would end up with no safe space. They would literally fight over each other in order to get to turn the other in for hate speech.

I noticed that Gay and Trans people are tearing each other apart now. Gays are claiming that Trans people are erasing them and vice versa.

Best4Business 7 points ago +7 / -0

It's fucking hilarious when you watch them turn on each other with no "other side" to be against. They'll rip each other to shreds.

sancai 6 points ago +6 / -0

Gays and lesbians also hate each other. the "lgbtqxyz community" is not a real community, people like gays and trannies have actually nothing in common. Just identity politics. Actually, they're highly conflicting: trans-activists claim that there is no biological sex and "sexual orientation" is now trans-phobic, sexuality and gender are just biological constructions, gays on the other hand are like straight men when it comes to gender, they know they're biological men and that they're attracted to biological men.

DIARRHEA_FIGHT 5 points ago +6 / -1

Gay people are normal people who are attracted to the same sex.

Trannies are mental patients and the left enables their delusion. They must not be given a fucking inch.

D0NNIE_DARK0 3 points ago +3 / -0

The T people are bold enough to pressure LGB and Heterosexual people to sleep with them and deny their own individual sex-attraction identities. It was only a matter of time. These people are crazy.

There will always be a pecking order, with liberals. They're chickens.

There will always be a lowest rung chicken on the pecking order.

They chased away the conservatives, so now the moderate liberals are the lowest chickens.

That's typically why liberal organizations fail, over time.

2
Best4Business 2 points ago +2 / -0

There needs to be a sharp and immediate exit of conservatives from all social media except maybe Parler. Other than that, everyone needs to just up and leave. No warning. Then, we all sit back and watch them implode and watch the moderate liberals turn against BLM/Antifa and the fucking letter people.

Yeah T_D woke up thousands and thousands of people on reddit. Almost daily posts from new people saying we opened their eyes and they're no longer dems. That's why there are drawbacks to being forced onto our own platforms.

Yes but it’s like the votes. Trump got more but what does it mean in the end. The shadow banning will ratchet up once the Harris/Biden administration begins (and I hope it never comes to pass)

I don't know about the internal politics of the old subreddit, I got preoccupied with school after the election, but I wasn't on /r/donaldtrump anyway, I had been commenting in the main subs pointing out hypocrisy and explaining why people actually support Trump.

They don't get ad money from me, and anyone you can turn will be useful. Even if you only get them to not fight back against you, it's one less opposing voice.

At some point they banned all mentions of td.win so I imagine there's some % of people who weren't aware this site existed.

2
Ftng4thm 2 points ago +2 / -0

This is the answer for me. I didn't learn about .win until I think a month or less ago. I first heard about it from Tim Pool. Also had no idea the War Room existed.

I still like how easy Reddit is overall but the brigades are exhausting. I still frequent the conservative subreddits for news as well and occasionally stomach other subreddits to try to get various news sources.

17
Wanderlust 17 points ago +17 / -0

There's still use in the niche subreddits for hobbies/skills/research etc. Plus this site could use a smidge of polish on mobile.

Reddit is taking a long slow walk to its death, but it aint all there yet.
