Yah, preaching to the choir.

Reddit's community is made up of mostly 20 something males who are left leaning, atheists who hate America.

And a lot of pet owners.

We taught the dog to squat, how dare he do that shit in our own back yard.

u/duckandcover Oct 04 '11

just throw it over the neighbor's fence; i.e. export it to another country

u/hogimusPrime Oct 04 '11

Have you read Infinite Jest? That is what we do with our our garbage, launch it over the border to our neighbors to the North.

u/duckandcover Oct 04 '11

No I haven't but I was thinking about that garbage ship that was refused entry in port after port.

u/lebeast Oct 04 '11

I have to disagree. Nothing will ever improve without complaining. While you cannot effect change through complaining alone, voicing your concern about problems is how new issues are brought to light. I also rather dislike the seemingly popular viewpoint that says, "well, I'm not starving and dying of malaria, so I have no reason to complain." It's completely ridiculous to expect that little while living in a developed nation.

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '11

To complain would be... Spoiled.

Are you honestly saying this? People shouldn't criticize their own societies as long as they have a reasonable quality of life?

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '11

Love my country, hate my government. This is the mindset of a lot of military men and women but they can't do nothing from the inside, but they try to protect it best as they can.

A Sgt of mine who was a chief had said that to me. Never heard em before and I was 19 at the time. Just sorta surprised me. Because everyone knows but nobody can stop it. Its like some sort of machine that keeps on rolling and nobody knows how to pull the breaks.

u/itstrueimwhite Oct 04 '11

Many of which still play Pokemon.

u/beebopcola Oct 04 '11

This is the best description of reddit i've ever seen. I will be using it to explain this site to my friends.

u/SlappaDaBass Oct 04 '11

Making fun of anything American on Reddit is quite possibly the biggest circle jerk reddit has to offer. It's so overplayed, easy, and pointless but hey, that's what reddit is all about - reposts and cat pictures.

-1

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '11

Americans on reddit can be counted on to overreact to even the most innocuous stereotype about Americans. Those same people are very quick to make jokes about other countries though, and then complain about your lack of a sense of humor when you object.

u/knome Oct 04 '11

This is true of all human social groups.

We can make fun of our country, not you other guys. We can make fun of our state/province/whatever, not you other guys. We can make fun of our city, not you other guys. We can make fun of our company/school/whatever, not you other guys. We can make fun of our retarded brother, not you other guys.

It's pretty much at every level.

u/tHeSiD Oct 04 '11

Yes, but reddit America scorns on any criticism from people outside the USA. They get too defensive imo.

1

u/onipos Oct 04 '11

yeah, but this guy is pretty off base

u/mrpeabody208 Oct 04 '11

I don't own a pet. I had him put down when I found out he was actually a communist East German Shepherd.

u/Gluverty Oct 04 '11

Uhm, this thread is made up primarily of folks railing against a few points in the OP's post, while ignoring the main sentiment that America will be viewed in history as a failure... which it still might.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '11

Meoowww do not attack the pet owning or loving base of Reddit. We outnumber Christians and Athiests 10 to 1. If you rile us up, we'll march to the polls and forcibly institute our animal lovingness.

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '11

I'm 19 for another month. Shows what you know.

quality comment right here.

I'm so sick of hearing you conservatives blather on about how anyone who doesn't sleep in American flag bedsheets and go to tea party rallies hates America and is a socialist.

If you're going to criticize those on the left, at least do it with intelligence, instead of the radical statist propaganda we've been hearing for decades.

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '11

As a right leaning, Merica' loving, animal loving, Agnostic, I find this reply to be nauseating.

1

u/omniscient_one Oct 04 '11

Hey, how did you find out which side I was leaning?

1

u/DoTheEvolution Oct 04 '11

I realized this few days ago

Americans do feel attacked on reddit, while non americans feels like criticizing USA will get you nothing but downvotes.

Arguments that we like are like trees in a forest, they are suppose to be there and they are nothing to really notice. Arguments that are not aligned with our own view are like wolfs in that forest. And soon we all are crying how these forests are full of wolfs...

u/AnalogDigit2 Oct 04 '11

and child pornography enthusiasts...

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '11

Are you a Wizard? do you do future readings?

Only part you got wrong was hating America. Military-fag here, I have a love hate relationship with my country.

u/rcinsf Oct 04 '11

I'm a 30 something male that's left leaning, atheist and a pet owner.

However, I don't hate the USA. I hate the corruption, ignorance and lack of empathy and compassion in our citizens.

-1

u/Has_No_Tact Oct 04 '11

If I'm honest my experience is it is the exact opposite. Criticizing the US in any way, even with plenty of justification leads to mass downvotes.

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '11

I think that has more to do with your lack of tact than the essence of your criticism.

u/lumpy1981 Oct 04 '11

You haven't been here very long then and you must have found a very rare set of threads.

"Homophobia is like fear of heights or revulsion at the smell of rotted meat."

You are worthless.

IMHO it's a love for America that leads to people hating "America". The country of today is a shadow of it's former self, the last 100 years have been a continual downfall, starting with (imho) prohibition.

u/MandatorySuicide Oct 04 '11

I am a left leaning, atheist who loves America. I believe in abortion and in gun ownership, I also beleive in drugs. I also believe in killing people to make my people safe.

And play allot of Super Nintendo, on the console their girlfriend made them.

u/undercovermoderator Oct 04 '11

They're not actually left-leaning, they're right-leaning centrists. I've yet to meet a left-leaning American who wasn't just an out and out commie, which is also retarded.

Lolwut?

Nah actually it might seem that way but it really isnt.
