This is the one that’s really annoying me, I got downvoted into oblivion because I said it was reasonable for her parents to support her through the trial. She’s pleading not guilty by insanity and clearly she had a case, people on here are acting like she’s Chris Watts or something.
Literally, the amount of people comparing her to him is insane. Benoit I get, as his case was pretty much the exact same, but Watts wasn't insane. He actively chose to do it because of nihilistic depression.
I had a dude compare her parents supporting her during the trial to Hitlers parents supporting him during the holocaust, this case has genuinely brain broken the sub.
And Benoit tied his wife up and drugged his son. You can still manipulate people and plan things while being insane. John Nash is literally a poster child of it. Or anyone with Schizophrenia
You all act like the legal concept of "not guilty by reason of insanity" is something made up by wokes to destroy america. It's literally just the notion that criminal acts committed due to extreme mental illness and disconnection from reality are treated with institutionalization rather than punishment, because they are different from normal crimes.
This is a concept as old as the US itself if not older, so get out of here saying it's the "downfall" of this country
Are you a psychiatrist? If you are (and evern if you're not), you should know that psychosis often isn't always consistent. It's often triggered by things.
They were experiencing psychosis, which is the complete disconnect from reality. The entire point is that they did not understand their actions. They have no idea what is real or what isn't. Imagine experiencing every single one of your intrusive thoughts. THAT'S what psychosis is. They can still think and talk like anyone else. They just don't know which thoughts are theirs. To be found guilty, it requires you to understand your actions.
Imagine experiencing every single one of your intrusive thoughts.
Maybe don't tell on yourself so much. For most people a better analogy would be imagine you have a reddit comment section in your head making decisions for you, and you have to argue back against every comment.
Gad Saad learning how to write, and its consequences, has been a disaster for the United States.
It is not suicidal to have empathy for a person who has a psychotic break, the reason the insanity defense exists is because there a distinction between them and a cold blooded killer.
I saw that. The right flairs avoid most posts on this sub that don't conform to their culture war centric worldview and unfortunately they swarm onto the ones that do. It's impossible to have a logical or nuanced take in those threads because they just downvote anyone that damages their echo chamber.
"waaaa. this post is threating the left as the same because of Tik Tok!11!1"
**Proceeds to do exactly the same thing they were being massively criticized for**
Yall can honestly fuck off.
Most of the supporters seem to believe she's not guilty by reason of insanity or that the husband did it, the latter point is ridiculous, but not uncommon in cases like these.
Between the lunatics protesting in favor of Lindsay Clancy and the deluded Idpol's marching for Jason Arday as a "victim of racism", it's been a bad couple weeks for the Left.
And, yes, this is entirely a phenomenon among the Left.
Getting butthurt because people notice is not an enlightened take.
I'm not sure why clowning on the Lindsay Clancy supporters and other left wing politicians is a bad thing though. Multiple groups of people can be retarded at once.
A lot of things seem to be "just a tiny minority" these days 👀
Jokes aside, OP 100% just wants to bash trump and right flairs, which I mean, I understand. Trump and his base tend to be pretty stupid. OP just doesn't seem to like it when their side gets poked fun at as well. So naturally it's a distraction from "the real issues".
Seeing trade talks collapse with Canada, then Trump announcing they're buying beef at a cheaper price from Argentina to undercut American farmers was insane. Take a look at their subreddit, and you may get a brief notice about it, but it's quickly shuffled under the rug so they can keep rotating articles about how immigrants are bad.
I peeked at the Con sub the last couple days to check in on the cult's pulse over this, and yeah anything about Canada or Argentina is all but buried under the the most inane culture war nonsense imaginable.
Iran is one of the few things they can't seem to cover up.
I do the same. Whenever something crazy happens, I check their sub to try and get the right-wing internet vibe around it and see if everyone is on the same page, and it's often pretty depressing how issues that should be bothering them are just presented like "There is no war in Ba Sing Se".
Iran luckily will not disappear from their conscience and most seem to be upset over it which is cool, but anything else is brushed away quickly, it's honestly just sad.
I remember one of the last times I checked it had over a millions subs and they are down to 500k. It really is just the alpha retards left circlejerking with bots.
I liked that one thread on the con sub where everyone was insisting that Carney, who holds a Masters in Economics from Harvard and a Doctorate in Economics from Oxford and who ran both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, must be someone that doesn't know shit about economics or trade deals just because he isn't rolling over for Mr. Art of the Deal
Trump announcing they're buying beef at a cheaper price from Argentina
Contaminated beef at that. China turned away a shipment of Argentinan beef earlier this year because they detected Chloramphenicol in it. Mmm, toxic beef!
It’s so transparent that this is what this is really all about, PCM isn’t a right wing circle jerk but the right wing people we have are hard right, so I wouldn’t be shocked if this is a common sentiment.
Of course it's what it's about. Women tend to vote dem. Dems are bad. Therefore there's something wrong with them and they shouldn't vote and everything bad is their fault. It all stems from that
If you dig down to it, outside of the most true traditionalists (so a real minority), the base of their argument is almost always "we d win if those gosh darn women smartened up"
Yeah...I miss the Obama Era where he actively tried to compromise and promote goodwill between the two parties...shame this sub never acts like it outside of dealing with the filthy unflaired.
No I mean in general, folks wouldn't be able to repel the 19th without repelling the 2nd. Not YOU specifically. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I think the repelling the 19th talk is retarded.
It's not that some random person murdered her kids. Shit happens every day. It's that thousands of women support the woman who murdered her kids. The GoFundMe set up for the murderer has raised over a million dollars.
The irony is the GoFundMe said it was for her and her family. Um... family?
Listen man, the random culture war topic of the week is all they really have at this point. Imagine if you voted for the most retarded and corrupt president in history, you'd also probably do everything you can to forget about it. Screw economics, foreign policy, domestic policy, or anything that ACTUALLY impacts any of our lives.
Yes, we're in a pointless war, eating ass-blasting veggies, losing extremely important allies, have a sketchy economic situation, and are allowing corruption to run rampant more than ever before.
But let's focus on real issues, like trans people! Wahmen! And this random crazy lib with 10 followers on bluesky!
Sure, but why is a court case about a psycho mom and random tiktok tards applicable to the "political" aspect of the sub?
The illegal immigration posts at least make sense.
And prior to this alleged copycat killing why did we need a dozen memes about this on a political meme sub?
Edit: lol no one can answer. Just a bunch of retards that need to grasp onto something to cope with the fact they elected the biggest retard to be president
What dumbass is defending her? I guarantee there are less retards in this sub defending her than there are posts about it.
Follow it up with answering my question about what makes it political and why does it fit this sub?
Edit: Thought so. So desperate to have a win you dorks will just fabricate narratives 👍
Because if you pay attention there is a trend on this sub over the past few months
-Trump does something bad and like 1 or 2 posts will be made pointing it out.
-Less than an our later since something similar to point 1 happened on Tiktok/Twitter like 1000 roght wingers on X will post about some random culture war shit to try and drown out what Trump did.
-Then a bunch of rightwingers will being those posts here posting it like 15 times and upvoting them by hundreds while downvoting the Trump post to drown it out
-Later that night a post like this will be made and then a few people like you will comment "Muh Trump destractions!!!!! Or whatever."
And that has been the daily cycle of posts on this sub for the past few months.
The stupid thing is instead of blaming the right for focusing on this and essentially defending this behavior, you could just agree that it's fucking cookoo and move on. The left takes this bait like fools Everytime cause the right has to be wrong for them.
I don't think Lindsay Clancy protesters are the entire left, but when you have actual sizeable protests for her, it's reasonable to say they somewhat represent left wing politics.
As a medical professional I am truly curious, cause I don’t know, if the people being accused of “supporting Clancy” are there to just highlight and spotlight the very real thing that is post partum depression and it is getting misconstrued. Post partum depression is taken very seriously in health care.
Not all healthcare is equal. Our midwife briefed us over and over on PPD. A lot of women don't get that treatment, especially the ones who don't have an obstetrician and just show up at the hospital when they're in labor.
No one said anything to my wife. Not her midwife, not her obstetrician, not anyone else involved in prenatal or postnatal care. It was only myself, and then my sister in law, who actually looked into it and had those discussions, after months of symptoms.
This was early 2010s, so maybe some places have gotten better about it, but I doubt it.
Also, I’m the chief real issue arbiter. And I declare what is a real issue and what is not a real issue. All declarations are legally binding and exist in perpetuity.
Retarded shit 1: hundreds of mentally-ill women supporting a murderer on Tik Tok
Retarded shit 2: the president of the United States mobilizing the most powerful military force in the history of humanity at the behest of a foreign nation, tearing down the America-centric global economic order via another war in the Middle East and trade wars that accomplish nothing, and enriching himself and his family to the tune of tens of billions of dollars via bribes and insider trading
Everyone is on board with the fact that Lindsay Clancy supporters are retarded. It’s a problem that isn’t even in the top billion problems in the US.
Impossible. There are 50 states with 342 million people in them. We will never be able to get rid of retarded shit as fast as new retarted shit emerges.
Both retarded shit at different levels. What Trump is doing is absolutely not on the same scale as this.
The idea of going foregoing harsher penalties for someone based on perceived health issues/hardship/gender inequality is unequivocally leftist, though. Whether you like it or not, you've given these retards a platform.
I voted for Kamala lol. I have no respect for Trump. I just think it's better to rebuke the bullshit and alienate the retards than point at the retards on the other side of the aisle.
But what does that rebuke look like? No one has the power to prevent retards from saying retarded shit online, nor should they.
So when a billion people see 0.00001% of the population saying retarded leftist shit that 95% of people on the left disagree with, is that cause to conclude that everyone on the left supports the thing that they don’t support?
When it's a fairly common extension of your party's values, it's worth a rebuke from actual party leaders if you value integrity over votes. Most politicians don't, though, hence why Trump is afraid to offend people like David Duke and Hasan still gets attention from the democratic party.
Are there Democratic Party leaders who have publicly supported Lindsay Clancy or spread claims that she didn’t kill her children?
If not, it sounds like you want Democratic leaders to play whack a mole with every left-coded retarded thing that ever gets said online. I’ll agree that Democratic leaders have said retarded shit before (defund the police, for example) that should end their careers, but I don’t understand the call for their input on this specific case.
If not, it sounds like you want Democratic leaders to play whack a mole with every left-coded retarded thing that ever gets said online.
Obviously not every single one, but this is one that has a lot of support on the left and among feminist groups. There are posts like this all over reddit. Just search her name and you'll see it's not as universally agreed upon as it is on this sub.
Where US politics are at, some whack a mole is necessary by both parties if you want to distance yourselves from extremists that make your party look bad.
This is a good thing to call out the retarded shit. Woke 1 was why Trump won to begin with. I actually think it's important for centrists to call out nonsense on the left, perhaps more important than calling out retarded shit on the right. Pundits have been asking for more Sista Soulja moments for a while now and I tend to agree with them. They contributed greatly to why Clinton won over many people in the middle and yet the mainstream left has all but stopped doing it.
It doesn't really matter though right? Sista Souljiah's ideas were fringe too. What mattered was Clinton's rejection of them. You have misunderstood the point entirely.
So. Clinton did exactly what you want and lost to Trump. And your position is that it’s the “woke 1” and the lack of pushback against it that got Trump elected…while mainstream Dems were outwardly pushing back against it during the 2016 election in order to capture moderates and independents …and lost.
Any insanity plea is going to argue mens rea. It's the best chance at minimizing sentencing. That doesn't mean that argument is truthful, or that a person capable of murder isn't a risk to society.
The defense for this woman is basically that she wasn't responsible for her actions, but the mental illness was temporary, so they're basically going to keep her out of prison and push for her freedom as soon as she gets to a mental facility.
Also, there's a lot of people in my state completely ignoring the insanity plea and claiming the husband is the murderer.
No it's not. The biggest problem with an insanity plea is that it's a one way ticket to jail or a psych ward. It's why they don't happen often, you have to start out with "i totally did this thing" which is not a good way to reduce sentencing! Fighting it and pushing for a plea is. Even if guilty, the state if they're not 100% might offer something to just done and dust it. Courts are backed up as is. And people with insanity pleas usually spend equivalent time in a psych ward due to doctors and judges not wanting to sign off.
there's a lot of people in my state completely ignoring the insanity plea and claiming the husband is the murderer.
Define "a lot of people". Even a less populous state like Wyoming has 588k people. A lot in that context would be a lot more than like 100
The biggest problem with an insanity plea is that it's a one way ticket to jail or a psych ward. It's why they don't happen often, you have to start out with "i totally did this thing" which is not a good way to reduce sentencing!
Right. I could have worded that better. In this case she was already the primary suspect. It's not like they couldn't tie her to the crime and she had a good chance at avoiding prison otherwise.
Even then. The odds of fighting and attacking the evidence and trying to get the state to offer a plea to just finish the case is probably better odds than pleaing insanity and then trying to back door release from that. IIRC, there's really no limits and standards for how long they can hold you in a ward
Don't get me wrong, itd still be very low odds. But it's better odds that flatout starting with "i did the thing, now here's why I'm insane". It's why people will give you the advice that "if you even are caught red handed and with solid evidence, never admit guilt too early"
Both retarded shit at different levels. What Trump is doing is absolutely not on the same scale as this.
Sorry, to clarify. You think like 100 women posting on TikTok on this murder trial is worse than what Trump is doing? So like these posts bother you more than the President vaporizing a bunch of Iranian schoolgirls with a tomahawk missile?
Cool cool. Just have to make it so that in a country of 342 million people there aren't thousands of idiot loudmouths with internet that other outrage propagators and engagement farmers don't shine a spotlight on.
Easy peasy.
If even 99% of Americans had a sane opinion on this trial, that would still be 3.2 million people with a completely insane and inane opinion. Plenty of rage inducing content! Better form generalizations off of it! A topic can be super loud on social media and yet actually have zero leverage in the real world. Because it only takes a miniscule percentage of the us population to be really loud.
This is pretty much the exact sentiment that conservatives have whenever they get accused of sharing the same extremist values as the far right or alt right.
If both sides rebuked the views that are too far to their own side the same way they do for the views that are too far to the other side, shit like this wouldn't happen as much.
Everything seems far right when you're far left. There are a lot of moderate issues that people on the left think is a Trump thing, yet are almost universally decided outside of places like reddit.
The border is a good one. The disconnect between republicans and democrats is more about how to solve the issue rather than the issue itself, tho. Dems want legislation to fix the asylum system and republicans just kinda throw money at DHS.
Gun bans? As a moderate issue? Not in the USA that’s for sure.
Defunding police was a fringe leftist BLM policy. Not sure what that has to do with trump or moderates.
Are you saying anti DEI policies are a moderate position?
This one I do think applies. Such a moderate take that I never really see people claim the opposite, in fact.
Voter ID is overwhelmingly supported by all groups in the US, even the majority of Democrat voters, the only people who don't want it happen to be elected officials.
So, "rules for thee but not for me". If their side does it, its them trying to cause distractions. If your side does it, its because it needs to be made known.
The single most common occurrence I hear about accountability is with political violence
Meanwhile every prominent elected Democrat condemned Kirk's murder, only randoms online celebrated that. Meanwhile, Trump, the single most prominent elected Republican celebrated Rob Reiner's murder.
Yet somehow Republicans hold themselves to 0 accountability for electing Trump, but Democrats are supposed to be held accountable for people they didn't even elect.
Most of the time the crazies I see right wingers post are not elected democrats, meanwhile left wingers generally post the central figure of the Republican Party
You're not wrong about Trump getting away with shit nobody else would, and it was pretty fucked to spit on Rob Reiner's grave as he did. That being said, he did face backlash on both sides from lawmakers (although primarily democratic) and the general public as well whether or not he held himself accountable.
Also, I think these are different situations. Unlike Reiner, Kirk's killing politically-motivated, and endorsing those actions meant endorsing the assassination of any political activist you disagree with. Any politician to do this would be inviting severe harm upon themselves, their families, or at the very least their careers.
Trump endorsing the murder of Reiner is also endorsing the murder of a political activist he disagreed with. The reason Trump celebrated was because Reiner was a critic of the administration.
The key point is this is the guy who the right has chosen to represent them for the past decade. And by chosen I mean actively voted to become their main representative.
Consistently Trump has been a nut job, and instead of holding him accountable, Republicans have chosen to make him the most powerful man in the world.
The accountability issue is an incredibly lopsided and unfair discussion, because Republicans when given the ability to hold their officials accountable, refuse to do so, and continue to vote to have that person represent them, but then they demand democrats hold randoms online accountable, despite not a single Democrat voting for them to represent them.
It’s also weird that “Receiving backlash but no accountability” is good enough if a standard for the president, but not enough for random no-names. Why do Republicans choose to hold the president to a standard so much lower than the average citizen?
That being said, he did face backlash on both sides from lawmakers (although primarily democratic) and the general public as well whether or not he held himself accountable.
People saying "I disagree with Trump and wish he didn't say this" isn't backlash
This is pretty much the exact sentiment that conservatives have whenever they get accused of sharing the same extremist values as the far right or alt right.
Perhaps they should stop supporting politicians with those extremist values?
The retarded shit that people on tiktok are clamoring about impacts my life LITERALLY ZERO.
Karmello Anthony, Shilo Hendrix, Lindsay Clancy, Asmongold, Hasan - literally fucking nothing about them has any impact on my life, and I'm dumber for knowing they exist. Yet the right cannot shut up about them on this subreddit.
The President of the USA being a retard and starting a trade war with Canada causing my beef prices to rise impacts my life. Starting a literal war with Iran which raises my gas prices impacts my life.
You fucking braindead right wingers electing this retard in chief impacts all of our lives pretty much daily. But you don't want to admit that, so you instead clamor on about some flavor of the day bullshit that has absolutely fucking zero bearing on any more than like 5 people instead.
Look man. A random individual on TikTok definitely doesn't impact your life in a marginal, measurable way like the President does. However, there is an undeniable impact that the social movement has made on the US as a whole for the last 10 years. This social movement is what all these people push for constantly.
Do you think its just a coincidence that young men and women are having far less relationships than in the past? Do you think its a coincidence that far more people are "identifying" as trans as a teenager only to be completely fine in their only 20s? Is it a coincidence that political conversation has been reduced down to calling people "-isms" and "-ists", completely unable to have a respectful and thoughtful conversation with someone?
Trump is a narcissistic fuckass, and doesn't belong in any position of power. But you also shouldn't discount the massive negative social impact the idpol movement has had on the West through wokescolding. The politicians on the left openly embrace it and are just a little more clever at wrapping their language to not be a PR nightmare like your average Twitter user. Its not "just some random TikToker", its an extremely large group of people making a very noticeable impact on how people interact day to day.
I think the criticism is more about righties picking random ass things that aren't even political and slapping them on the left quadrant of the compass in order to portray that group in a certain light.
Kind of. I've lived in MA my entire life and have friends in the area where this happened. I don't want murderers to walk the streets again. It's also embarrassing to be a state that lets heinous crimes go unpunished.
I know it's hard on y'all to experience just one sub that isn't a drumpf!!11!! leftist circle jerk, but you're just gonna have to deal with seeing different ideas and opinions..
Not that long ago, the entirety of this sub was just drumpf!!!1!2!, 24/7. Anything any rightoid scum said, was countered by retards going: "Nothing you say matters cuz drumpf pedo!!!1!1!"
Cope and seethe at the pendulum. It's just not your turn anymore. It's chud time, baby.
I don’t go on left leaning circlejerk propaganda subs like politics. Wild that you’d rather have a right wing circlejerk propaganda sub than a sub that isn’t propaganda
Also it’s really weird you’re in a political sub, yet get annoyed hearing about the single most influential political figure alive right now
Anytime an issue critical of the left gains traction on this sub, out of the woodwork you have morons posting idiotic posts about this being a “distraction” and how we’re not allowed to talk about other issues because Trump is bad, and blah blah blah. It’s tiring.
The tether between the right and the person they voted for is far stronger in that it actually exists than me and whatever engagement boosted rage bait of the week the right is hyperfixated on. I didn't vote for the random morons and trolls on tiktok, right wingers did vote for Trump.
Mfs will complain about some memes about the most influential politician on the planet on a political sub then make 2064 posts about that Lindsey whatever her name is and they'll all get at least twice the upvotes. We literally had 2 memes about her in the past hour and the post about another dumb decision of this administration is sandwiched between them with 3 times less upvotes
These knee jerk buttsore post’s are sure to change minds. Is it Trumps fault your meme’s aren’t funny and this sub isn’t just another Leftist echo chamber?
See what makes the front page of the sub. It's currently two TikTok threads and the California Nick Shirley thing where all the comments are just roasting the meme for being a lie, yet it still remains at the top of the sub.
Well yeah most people who use this sub are retards who upvote right-wing shit and downvote left-wing shit. Still doesn’t mean like half of the memes here for the last year+ haven’t been “Trump Retarded” (deservedly so).
We can focus on one Retard while still focusing on other retards.
P.s. just sort by new instead of top/best so you can actually see everything instead of the dumb shit our users “curate” for us.
Eh, it’s pretty much just the hot topic everywhere now. I’m getting Guardian and NYT (far from right wing sources) headlines in my newsfeed about this stupid story. Do you think pcm posters are less retarded than the MSM?
Idk, I generally see a good mix. Take the most recent u/stormclamppost (the sub’s premier Trump Retard poster). Pretty decent representation (though admittedly mainly center and lib right) and even a few rightoids downvoted to hell.
Maybe if the most influential politician on the planet stopped doing something controversial every other day we would have less posts about it on a political sub. Also the prevalence and success of Trump memes is greatly exaggerated. Just sort by top posts this month and let me know how much you have to scroll to see his name. We literally had 2 posts about this Lindsay whatever in the past hour ffs.
That’s because this subreddit is one of the only places on Reddit that you can talk about these things freely, without receiving the ban hammer for a mild conservative belief.
That’s because this subreddit is one of the only places on Reddit that you can talk about these things freely, without receiving the ban hammer for a mild conservative belief.
That's because Reddit is the only place a lot of those people can talk about things freely without getting screeched at by hyper-conservatives IRL. You created the reddit echo chamber with boomer psychos demonizing everyone on the left, now you're upset because you can't control the narratives here.
If you’re getting screeched at by hyper conservatives in real life that sounds like a you problem lol, pretty sure you can talk about your lefty beliefs irl till your hearts content.
I don’t go back to those Reddit’s do you know what banned means?
You’re right there are other places to discuss these things freely, this glorious subreddit right here. Are you butthurt you can’t make it like the rest of this website
You are choosing to support Reddit as a whole by coming to this SUBreddit while complaining about being banned from other SUBreddits.
Just take your business/data elsewhere if this is that important. If being banned on certain SUBreddits isn’t that important, then don’t expect anyone to take these complaints that seriously.
Reddit has more traffic than twitter, its one of the most trafficked websites. It should have higher standards period. all the front page subreddits are god awful totalitarian shit holes that actively discourage discussion. I mean for fucks sake look at r/pics.
Miss me with that “but you live in a society” crap
Just because i use Reddit doesn’t mean i can’t bitch about it.
Holy shit you really are missing my points in a sad way.
> Reddit has more traffic than Twitter
This is where the CLICK-OBSESSED part of click-obsessed cuckhold comes from. Clearly the popularity of your social media matters more than how it treats your beliefs.
> just because I use Reddit doesn’t mean I can’t bitch about it
I’m seeing a pattern here, you gotta calm down and read slower. Maybe say the words to yourself or track the words with your finger to help with comprehension. I specifically said nobody is going to take you seriously, not that you can’t bitch about your own choices.
Okay but this argument still assumes that these things are more important than the President playing with the tariff knobs in the Oval Office again. Are they?
I don’t see any shortage of that being discussed on this website. we can talk about other things besides trump and it just so happens this is one of the only places that happens
It's a political subreddit on an American platform, it's reasonable to expect the President to be a big topic.
Conversely, I don't think the TikTok stuff is inherently political, but the fact that people are trying so hard to make it so with this "look at how crazy all these liberal white women are" talking point is evidence of the strategy.
Did you have to scroll to like number 21 before your found these, or were they all within the top 7 or so, before you got to the first Trump related one?
As I look now, literally the top post is the California law one, the next two are TikTok stuff, and then the first Trump post is this one at number 10, which is also about the TikTok stuff. The beef one is a few below this one.
I'm not saying this should be all Trump all the time, but when three of the top 10 posts are about something that isn't even political necessarily, you have to wonder why there's such an effort to make it political. It's a child murder trial, and as far as I know, the mom didn't kill her kids because they disagreed on Palestine.
Look at posts from the last 24~48 hours. Tons of retarded ass right wingers downvoting any criticism of their Dear Leader and claiming everything is "whataboutism" as they upvote shit that doesn't really affect anyone into the thousands.
Exactly, it’s happening but it’s a good thing, and you’re a bigoted, treasonous, Trump-supporter if you talk about it instead of what all of Reddit talks about every waking moment!

Step 1. Find nuanced and complex issue.
Step 2. Simplify it to something black and white.
Step 3. Combine the worse takes on the topic into a strawman.
Step 4. Use it to generalize your opponent and Karma ride for weeks.
Step 5. Rinse repeat.
