When has Reddit ever been anything other than a toxic wasteland of hate and bigotry?

The article has a very valid point, prior to /r/The_Dickwad, subs that got out of hand were dealt with and disappeared. Bigoted cringe factories like /r/Fatpeoplehate, /r/Coontown, or flagrantly illegal stuff like /r/Jailbait (which should never have been allowed to exist) were closed down. Now though, mods for /r/The_Dipshit are all cozy with the main site mods and have no respect for them. /r/All has become a free for all with all sorts of complete garbage being posted hourly, making the front page look like a fascist rag with shite like "SJWS of Reddit, how does our dick taste?" The person who posted that is a mod and should have been banned from the site.

Poor safe space babies can't cope with The_Donald?

ROFL

suck it up buttercup

Let's be clear: You guys are retarded if you're visiting /r/All and then COMPLAINING that you're exposed to the shitty parts of reddit.

Circlejerk subs like The Donald can upvote their shit to the top of All, but they actually get downvoted to shit if they stray into any of the defaults or most of the rest of reddit.

Stop visiting All. Remove all subs from your front page except ones you actually want to read. Voila suddenly reddit is whatever the fuck you want it to be.

I see more stupid conservative opinions here on Blue's every day than I do on my reddit front page. Is Blue's a wasteland full of hate and bigotry?

It was growing for a while, but I'm pretty certain all those people went to reddit and we're left with actual, normal people that hold some conservative opinions and/or define themselves as conservative instead of, well, the people mentioned in that article. A few came back after the Trump victory, and ranted about Pizzagate, but that was it.

But yes, I agree, just use Front, not All. And, to the guy mentioning safe spaces, what do you think The_Donald is?

This is a spectacular example of not reading the article. I really wonder, is this what you actually think or is there some sarcasm that I'm missing?

frontier is offering the amazing deal of 1 MB DSL in my town.

Yes you read that right, amazin blazin speed.

The people at frontier are smoking a very large and heavily loaded with poor quality crack... pipe.

Conservative Views are not stupid. Neo Liberal views on the other hand are bat shit insane.

About the only classically conservative view that modern culture should have an issue with is same sex marriage but even that has changed a lot.

Lower taxes, Fewer regulations, Free and Open Economy, Freedom of speech and individuality, Free Market solutions to problems, strong defense. Are the basics of Conservatism.

Neo Liberalism on the other hand is a weird mixture of cultural chaos and a bizarre mix of communism and Marxism. The end result is people are property of the sate and no one has anything except the ruling class.

Anyone who disagrees with this has never read a lick of real history.

Just look at what the modern Neo Liberal controlled education system has produced. a bunch of mamby pamby brain dead emotional wrecks of wanting daddy government to provide for their every need and to live in mommys basement until they are 30.

That is NOT America!

you should become a reseller.

I fixed the reddit problem by not viewing the site.

Lower taxes leads to a super wealthy class and the rest of us being minimum wagers. I'm always amazed at how few people understand this.

Here's a nice graph of income growth.. It isn't the most intuitive, but what it shows is that, over the past 3 decades, only people with the top 15% of salaries have had their salary grow faster than the average. In other words, only our wealthiest are getting income increases.

Why? Taxes. Every country listed there is much, much harsher on the top tax brackets than we are.

Or, putting it another way, our mean income is growing much more rapidly than or median income.

Rich get richer, everyone else gets poorer. Thanks, taxes!

You might want to Google Neoliberalism before going on a rant about it. Here's some help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism

If you cannot correctly identify what things are even called, it's hard to take your appeals to "reading a lick of real history" seriously.

You've got that entirely backwards. That's the major problem with conservatives. It's called cognitive dissonance. You live in some fantasy world that's some sort of idealized Leave it to Beaver'ized America where it's a fair world with nice corperations that provide everyone good jobs and don't exploit anyone. It's all upper-middle class white people living in nice neighborhoods and mom is still in the kitchen where she belongs and the kids are all clean and respectful little drones who are incapable of rebellion, much less free thought. Conservatism by its very definition is the antithesis of freedom and progress.

The reason no one leaves home anymore is because no one can fucking afford to thanks to conservatism and it's laissez-faire/crony style of capitalism thanks to the "free" trade they've implemented. Foreigners are buying up property on a massive scale driving housing prices through the roof and the only work available are dead-end wage-slave jobs. The conservative doesn't care about that. The conservative doesn't care about the environment and the planet they're destroying with their unmitigated greed and selfishness. The conservative doesn't care about what's best for society or the world or family or friends because he's a self-serving psychopath that only ever serves himself.

The arrogance in this thread is staggering. You all think you're so much better than everyone else. You've got it all figured out. The perfect opinions. Just the right amount of conservatism, the right level of liberalism and just a dash of libertarianism. The world would be sooo much better if you were in charge.

Get some self-perspective and realize you're just another sack of manure like the rest of us. You're no better than the average Trump supporter or SJW cuckold. You're just another idiot on the internet, not changing the world or having any effect on anything.

If what you say is true, then this applies to you too. So why are you posting? More to the point, why aren't you off commiting suicide if everything is so pointless and you're a sack of manure who has no effect on anything?
