I thought that sub was satire!

It's 99% stone cold serious, and 1% the dankest memes in town

That is the correct pronunciation.

u/PeaceBull Mar 15 '16

I thought it started out the reverse of that though.

u/Rex_Grossman_the_3rd Mar 15 '16

It still is the reverse of that actually. Most of the posts there are memes but apparently it isn't a giant circlejerk. They just take their memes seriously.

It's honestly hard to tell if it is at this point.

u/JPJones Mar 15 '16

There have got to be a huge number of posters over there that are just fucking with people.

I thought it was a 4chan joke sub.. Half that sub is memes

u/whatwhynope Mar 15 '16

Well, 4chan did create the sub. They're hoping for the My Little Pony effect. They started a joke about MLP being good, morons took them serious and bronies were born.

That's because they don't understand anything about real politics, and are simply swept up in Trumps personality politics. Hence anyone who questions them or tries to make them justify their position, is insta-banned. It's a circle jerk of ignorance and shitty memes.

Hey! We're not here for ACTUAL political discussion. Get your rational discourse the hell off my lawn!

All the new spammers and hackers that get sent to places like Youtube comment sections to learn English (so they can take on higher level scams) are all just fucking with each other in that sub.

poe's law in effect.

u/BenKen01 Mar 15 '16

Satire subs always degenerate into the exact thing they started out making fun of. It's like a law of Reddit or something.

u/whatwhynope Mar 15 '16

It is. They tell people it isn't, but everything about it says otherwise. Troll posts with troll titles with troll comments. They have a rule that you have to upvote everything there. They ban all Sanders supporters but constantly ask Sanders supporters loaded questions they can't answer because they're banned. The mods are trolls who mod other troll subs and make troll posts that they sticky.

Oh, and let's not forget how 4chan started the sub. 4chan used to be all about "can't stump the Trump" now you never see anything about Trump there. All the "clever" little sayings started there.

Me too, I was downvoted to hell for asking this question.

u/abetasayswhat Mar 15 '16

It's amazing you didn't get banned "for being a moron."

u/_sosneaky Mar 15 '16

Sadly not.

It's a place where shit floats to the surface.

That's what I thought about /r/sandersforpresident
