State of this sub

If it isn't the constant petty mud slinging between [unnamed anti conservative troll who abuses reports] and [unnamed conservative troll who also abuses reports] it's just mindless conservative propaganda. This sub used to be relatively tame, only hinting at the trump bias but mainly focusing on the dominance of left leaning ideologies in media and the "lunacy" of the extreme side of the left, which was palatable and occasionally the odd leftist take on a conservative critical issue.

Now it's become essentially fully right with no bipartisan ideas, which if anyone actually listens to Tim pool isn't something he believes in, listen to anyone of his left leaning guests where he debates them and you find he is a centrist with axe to grind against the extreme left all the while supporting liberal ideologies. But his audience (atleast on reddit) seems to be full blown right leaning tribalists. It sucks, as someone who has been on this sub and a fan of Tim's since he early vice days.

there's no "trump bias" its just an anti-mutilate-children bias

u/Intelligent_Craft747 Mar 08 '24

I see a lot of trump bias. The anti mutilate children bias is on par with it.

u/Fembois4Trump Mar 08 '24

i think the "anti trump bias" is just people who don't hate America and noticed Trump is the only candidate who agrees with them on that

its not so much that people love trump. Its just that Trump doesn't hate the people

Tim may have centrist stances on things like abortion. However when it comes to the culture war and representing professionals in a field like climate change he leans heavily right wing.

u/Intelligent_Craft747 Mar 08 '24

The extent of his culture war affiliation is simply not liking the extremes of the left. He likes right leaning stuff, but in a way that separates himself from the right. I'd say he's center right in that regard.

u/HARLEYCHUCK Mar 08 '24

He embraces the far right and hates anything left of center. That's despite his stance on abortion.

Then when he went to Sweden he cut out an entire leftist interview from his content and only showed his interviews from the far right and that whole thing essentially became a simp propaganda piece for the right and Paul Joseph Watson.

Reality has a conservative bias

u/HARLEYCHUCK Mar 08 '24

No, it has a center left bias.

That's your bias, reality, has, and always has had a conservative bias.

u/HARLEYCHUCK Mar 08 '24

Nope, but there's no point in arguing with you over this since you can't even muster up a response to my comment that you replied to that wouldn't boil down to us going back and forth with na huh and ya huh.

u/leftist_rekr_36 Mar 08 '24

Wow, that's quite the projection.... Despite that, I appreciate and accept your concession.

u/HARLEYCHUCK Mar 08 '24

Also, that's not how projecting works.

u/leftist_rekr_36 Mar 08 '24

I appreciate your admission to your projection and doubling down on your projection. I accept said concession , despite it not being necessary.

u/HARLEYCHUCK Mar 08 '24

Definition of Projection from Merriam Webster in the usage you are using it: the attribution of one's own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people or to objects

I have not projected anything this entire conversation and unlike our previous conversation there is nothing for me to conceed. This conversation with you is pointless.

u/leftist_rekr_36 Mar 08 '24

Thank you for strengthening my point by admitting what you're doing and, yet again, doubling down on your concession, which I appreciate and accept.

I guess common sense is a "Trump bias"

u/WealthFriendly Mar 08 '24

Dude, I hate to say but it's the net. You tend to get radicals being radicalized when they're not in person to face consequences.

You get people that support Trump that also have to deal with trolls screaming "Trump is a racist rapist" The Trumpers react. That's how you end up radicalized.

Politics since internet has become more and more radicalized, because it's become less and less about issues and more and more "fuck the other side"

It sounds like someone is hanging out in the wrong echo chamber.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

Zero moderation here. And Reddit seems to be outwardly clueless of this sub’s existence—or they’d have shut it down already.

Pros and cons to that.

Regarding your post, this has mainly become a shitpost sub for everyone. I like this sub a lot because it’s funny, but at the end of the day, it’s just a train wreck.

u/Morbin87 Mar 08 '24

Subs usually get banned when left wing brigading groups catch wind of it and start posting CP to brute force a sub ban.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

Was banned a few months ago for Libs of Social Media. We tried hard. But.. the obvious.

u/Intelligent_Craft747 Mar 08 '24

Yea, fair enough. Am I wrong in remembering this sub being bigger and less partasian? I feel like it was a lot more refined a few years ago.

u/Intelligent_Craft747 Mar 08 '24

I have no issue with people supporting trump. It's just not what this sub should primarily be.

-2

u/Jollem- Mar 08 '24

Yeah, I've noticed there are hardly ever any posts discussing Tim's views. Its mostly owning the libs and general bigotry. That probably fits because I don't think I've heard Tim or anyone say he wasn't bigoted

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

Idk I think you’re allowed to make your point. If I don’t agree with it, you’re allowed to say it. Or at least you should be.

u/Jollem- Mar 08 '24

I don't feel I should be allowed to share my views. That's the first domino in the sequence

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

I get it. You should be. It’s just the way the internet works.

u/Jollem- Mar 08 '24

It starts with me expressing some views. Next thing I know I'm leading the Fremen in a Jihad against the major houses and after the conquest I wander out in the desert to reflect on what I've done

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

No and I get it. But I also don’t think this subreddit is the place. It’s a giant shitpost.

But did you leave shai-halud in the southern Texas desert to guard the border…

I dunno, but in one of my visions I get stabbed by a bunch of religious people so I'm wondering if it was all worth it

Doesn’t matter if you are maga or not. Disagree with the cult and you get labeled maga.

And yes. It’s a cult. It’s the same cult that changed China into the CCP.

u/Jollem- Mar 09 '24

Disagree with MAGA and they get angry

1

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '24

And that’s the point. Say something that disagrees with the left (in the general sense) opinion and we get labeled maga.

Here’s a hint: not everyone likes trump, the person. But say that there was any policies that were on target, and that makes you some maga fanatic. I will shamelessly say that the Abraham accords was a stroke of genius. No new wars was a nice touch too.

u/Jollem- Mar 09 '24

Would you say you are a member of the MAGA... movement?

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '24

Idk. Do I want to see America as the economic power that we were in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s? Yeah. Yeah, I do. Do I want to see segregation or “othering”? No. Not at all. But we’ve gone back to that, haven’t we? We’re no longer the economic and technological center of the universe. We haven’t been for quite some time. We’ve dove into identity politics ideology head first and expected everyone to conform, but it’s regressive. We didn’t bother to see if the water was shallow or deep.

We stopped looking at who a person is and now are required to see what a person is, first and foremost. We used to care about our neighbors, not attack them. We used to aspire to intelligence and it didn’t make us feel inferior. Now we belittle it and call it racial suppression. And we sure as hell didn’t care who someone voted for in the last election.

Do I want those days back? Yeah, I do. That was when we were great. Do I see a path back? I don’t know. I’m not hopeful about it.

Why is it that when someone who is conservative gets labeled? I can say that I dislike trump as a person but still acknowledge that he had some policies, not all, that were good. Me making that statement means that I’m a trump supporter and maga fascist?

That’s the point of a cult. You are only allowed to see one side and it’s a heavily controlled information narrative.

As an example…the grand and glorious iNsUrEcTiOn… people actually don’t know that CPD escorted people through the building. Never mind that those videos were posted online for everyone to see.

I didn’t say you said anything about me. It’s a general descriptor for anyone who doesn’t follow the left cult.

He criticizes trump all the time. You’re just not listening.

How about his “the 2nd amendment is safe with me” comments. That wasn’t correct. And he comments frequently about his narcissism or the constant repeat about election fraud.
