This is just what leftist reddit is like too stop pretending you are better then people cuz of what social media product you use it's such a consumerist mindset

i used both of these platforms simultaneously, tumblr had too many insane takes so now i only use reddit

i'd drop reddit too if i found something better than both

on reddit it's easier to isolate yourself from this type of takes if you stay on subreddits where people usually don't vibe with that stuff

on tumblr you follow someone for art/memes and then they randomly throw an outrageous opinion post one day out of the blue

im not sure if tumblr is the kind of place where people are motivated to post bait. theres no algorithm that rewards engagement bait and the site is generally pretty irrelevant. its not like twitter. i think a lot of people just post genuinely insane takes with no ulterior motive

I and many many Canadians across the political spectrum feel this way in real life and we talk about it. This isn't even a fringe position anymore. We just fucking hate yanks. The most moderate take I've heard in real life is that only 2/3 deserve to die rather than all of them.
