I read Reddit because there are some useful groups within. Mostly technical. Unfortunately, like most social media, the woke left has taken over large swaths of the site. I recommend CourtListener.com to anybody who is interested in following court cases. I’m acquainted with the leader of the Free Law Project, who runs CourtListener.
In other words, I’ve had multiple personal conversations with him. Even going so far as to talk about Second Amendment issues. He is a “good” person, but he is driven by feelings of conservative evil. They dropped their X account because of Elon’s “Nazi salute” and only use BlueSky for social media announcements.
That is the sort of thing that drives many Reddit groups. A level of TDS and hatred of all that is not lockstep leftist talking points.
When I heard about the Claremont school district (SAU-6) having a budget shortfall of over $5 million, I read some articles. Every article rapidly descended into hate for Republicans, Trump, and anybody to the right of Marx.
These postings were in the New Hampshire sub-reddit. Since I read one article, the algorithm gave me more. Which led the algorithm to recommend r/messachusetts. Which was pure leftist drivel and a constant stream of hate.
The article that led me here was a picture of a new ICE vehicle. Since it was new, there was hate about that. They hated on the fact that the car wasn’t a beater. They hated on the paint job. They hated on money being spent on ICE and not burnt at the stake of “ending homelessness,” “universal healthcare,” “low cost healthcare,” and anything else they could think about—free housing, free transportation, free everything.
About every 10th comment was, “Did you report it to LUCE?”
From context, I knew LUCE had to be a group actively involved with protecting criminals.
And of course they are. “Think you see I.C.E. in your area? Call: 617-xxx-xxxx”. They have operators ready to take calls and texts in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Haitian, Creole, Mandarin, “and more to be added!”
Their entire media presence is built around conflating immigrants with criminal aliens. They talk about the evil of Trump and his plans. Of attempting to install fear in the “immigrant” community.
They are absolutely tone-deaf to what we on the right are thinking about dealing with.
Here we see a criminal animal sitting behind an immigrant. The immigrant had a job, was well-liked in the community, and was on her way home from work. She was killed by the criminal animal who had been released multiple times for multiple felonies.
She is an immigrant that we, on the right, support. She seems to have done everything correctly to enter and stay in the United States.
I will say that I had originally written that the animal that murdered Iryna Zarutska was a criminal alien; it turns out that he is just an American born animal.
if you run across anyone who supports what the left is saying then that “person” needs to be avoided. you know they have no regard for honest Americans
when the left openly shows their hate remember them and plan accordingly.
You touched on something I have noticed for years now.
Too often, the left goes straight to “hate.” They tend to think in absolutes, like the children they are mentally. (Or Sith) Either you support what I am saying, or you hate it.
.
When someone on the right says they want to deport the illegal aliens, especially the ones that are violent criminals, the left declares that person “hates” immigrants. “We are a nation built by immigrants!!!!” As if people entering the country legally, working to build the country, and living lawfully are the equivalent of a gangbanger wading across the Rio Grande with the intent of dealing drugs for a living. There are a million positions to take between “no borders” and “I hate all immigrants.”
.
Same with any issue. Say that George Floyd (sorry, St. George Floyd) was a criminal, and you hate blacks. Say the government is spending too much money with zero results in ending homelessness, and you hate the homeless. (Remember, everyone, and they mean EVERYONE is just one paycheck away from living on the streets.) Say that biological men should not in physical competition with biological women, and you hate, absolutely HATE! everyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
.
With the left, it is either agree with us, or you hate whatever we are supporting. There is no middle ground.
