context also heavily welcome.
With your help, this one
When I said that weed isn’t harmless. I didn’t say it should be criminal. I just don’t like people pretending it has no downsides.
A question about if the voting age should be lowered.
I said that it should be higher instead because teens are stupid. I was back then, and I was considered one of the smart kids in school.
I made a comment about proton VPN being a L data miner and now we see the CEO bootlicking trump. Funny how that turned out
I once made fun of someone on hexbear for denying genocide. A few days later, all of my recent comments had exactly the same number of downvotes, somewhere in the ballpark of 20, all across different communities. Whichever one of those comments received the least upvotes is my personal winner.
As an added bonus, this was after hexbear disabled downvotes, so they had to either pay for bots or run bots on an instance other than hexbear to pull that off.

Bunch of ones where I’m defending Hexbear downvoted 0 to -5, but then I found this one:
Context is something about the election. The post is deleted, so idk what the photo was of, but I was responding to something about how not voting or voting for a 3rd party makes you a Trump supporter.
I honestly don’t remember any specifically. Probably because I’m not political, but I have never “deleted” a down voted comment. It’s phony social media who cares about “votes”
I suggested that good music comes from republican administrations without clarifying that I was thinking about bands like Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down, Dead Kennedys, etc.
I guess, if you declare that as good music. which is really subjective. but meh.
That’s an interesting way of thinking about that. Huh. Sone of my favorite bands too. So if we lived under a peaceful just administration then what? Constant peaceful melodies. Do we need a machine to rage against for great music.?? You may be onto something
i once criticized Salvador Dali’s artwork. turns out people really love that guy and i’m a moron
“Art is subjective” - Art Fan.
“… No, I didn’t mean like that” - Also Art Fan
I know you’re all going to have to get this out of your system, so go ahead. Mock the leftists who stubbornly refused to vote for Kamala. Assign the blame for fascism taking over on those who could not see past their principles to the bigger picture (at least, as you see it). Eventually, you’re going to have to move on and acknowledge that the blame cannot fall solely on them.
I voted for Kamala Harris. I, like most of you, felt strongly that doing so was necessary to prevent a far worse outcome. In the short term. The truth is, those that you mock for failing to see what was so plain to you were looking past it to an even larger picture, and that is why they could not see the strategic necessity of their vote. Why they chose not to see it, just as many of you choose not to see something that is very plain to them, the inevitability of this outcome.
Kamala Harris began her campaign to thunderous applause from those who were hopeful that the Democratic Party was finally embracing progressive ideals, only to then abandon and insult those very same hopefuls while moving further to the right than even Biden dared go. Kamala Harris then also proceeded to approach the economically anxious right with the same limp-wristed and tired economic messaging that has consistently failed to address the concerns of the working class. She campaigned as a moderate old Republican, the very same that the Republican electorate abandoned in favor of Trump.
A large number of progressives and radical leftists saw this and surrendered. They sacrificed their hope for change and reform to preserve their principles, and embraced accelerationism where previously they resisted it. I felt what they felt but held onto hope not because I truly believed Kamala Harris would turn around, but because I feared that we were not ready. I voted for Kamala Harris because I wanted to buy just a little more time, but fascism is here now, and we’ve run out of time.
Accept responsibility, stop assigning blame, we can’t afford to. Accept responsibility not because you are at fault, but because no one else will.
Roughly equal number of upvotes and downvotes on this one, commented on a thread in c/meanwhileongrad bashing some random tankies after the election for abstaining or voting 3rd party. I stand by it.
Probably one a few weeks ago where I said civilised people shouldn’t condone murder even if the victim is a bad person.
It’s like the Trolley Problem, though. If the death of one person might cause fewer other people to die, could it be justified?
I’m pretty sure my bickering about the election. I was very unpopular during that period. Now I’m just regular unpopular. 👍🏾
One has -45 and that was when I told someone, who I since blocked, that I wasn’t going to look up something I knowingly talked about because of such thing existing. Which was knowing about Steam allowing people in the EU to re-sell their games. And they replied to my post being all like “SOURCE?” like as if it was some big fucking debate. Like dude, I wouldn’t be saying shit if I knew what I was mentioning was a pure lie. I knew what I was talking about and people always think they’re being coy by asking for sources and shit. I’m not here to hold your hand, the ball was in your court.
A lot of the other massively downvoted comments of mine, were just me responding to some of the low-life bastards that frequent some instances that come at me with their lame ass responses. Whom I also blocked because I’m not going to entertain their shit as long as they want me to. They just don’t like people talking back to them.
The “source” request is also annoying because it’s like, dude we’re just chatting here, no I’m not going to respond like this is some academic debate.
There was a Reddit post of a WWII picture of a blown up US artillery piece where the round detonated in the chamber and killed the crew.
I replied something like “Looks like they got a taste of their own medicine”.
While it still to this day gives me a chuckle, the reception was rather cold.
“This is the reaction to the other side’s reaction. Now we push edgy again, and you guys get called 2018 dinosaurs.”
It was basically a conversation about the culture wars and political correctness on Reddit. I think of things in cycles. The Reddit Human Resources crew thought they’d be in power forever because they’re objectively “right.”
Not the case.
