That has to be bait. There's no way anyone could be that ignorant...right?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 21 points 6 months ago

I'd say the gaslighting is the point.

"Sure, some of us may have committed some light treason, but they're saying mean things on the internet!"

If the phrase “light treason” didn’t already exist before Arrested Development, I think it’s got to be one of that show’s greatest cultural contributions.

How can you admit you side took over the capital building and tried to disrupt the election and still remain on that side.unbelievable.

Do those 12 turds mean what I hope they do, which is that 12 people went out of their way to call bullshit on this post?

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 4 points 6 months ago

Honestly no idea, haven't been on reddit since... Well, since I took the screenshot, but like activly not for a while now.

They are the new awards. People paid real money to put them there.

It's a mix. It's about the protests, but also right wing media has been focused on reddit posts from "the left" calling for violence in recent days.

Manufacturing concent for violence against us I would assume.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

As if the right is any better for the calls to violence.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 5 points 6 months ago

For sure. They're doing the whole pearl clutching thing as if anything is going to actually happen too. It's all just venting on "our side" from powerless people who feel like they can't change anything.

How many millions of guillotine posts have there been in the last God knows how many years already. I don't see any violence actually happening

Hmmm...I am trying really hard to remember what happened when Biden won. There's a word for it and it begins with "c". Co-op? Cooties? Something like that. I'm sure it is unimportant.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 months ago

Gosh, I remember a whole lot of violence, threats, and other related crimes.
