You are aware that was a generalized observation, right?

You seem to be the exact type of unthinking blue-team diehard called-out for bizarre, near-vitriol reactions.

I suspect you’re just not liking being in this comment.

You’ve managed to avoid the knee-jerk “useful idiot” etc vitriol? I’m impressed and envious.

How does that in any way explain the bizarre, near-vitriol reactions of blue team participants to criticisms and jokes about Biden?

A relative excess of funny would just explain more jokes, and poorly.

The various @politics communities are currently chock full of a weird deflection of all jokes and criticisms of Biden and a focus on jokes and criticisms about Trump. It’s pretty hard to see how the blue team part to this pans out at all.

Why can’t my queer ass think guns are awesome like c’mon

This exact combination has begun to break brains over here in such a manner as to be exactly like the old r/Politics that made r/liberalgunowners so lovely.

It always amazes me the extent to which people with such absurd reductionist hyperbole seem intentionally unaware of the extent to which there’s an exact mirror of oversimplification on the other side.

The Politics@ communities seem to be doing their best to bring that back to the right, but yes, outside of that it’s leftist to a lovely degree.

You can summarize by thinking of vertical scaling as “make machine bigger / more powerful” with horizontal scaling as “make more machines”.

Are you seriously pretending things such as

“actually no one was killed at tiananmen square and if anyone was it was soldiers who were killed by those unruly students and not the other way around.”

are mere opinion?

I think my experience can be best summed up by:

Jokes aside, the web portal is pretty great. Jerboa seems… like it needs some polish.

Missing: r/liberalgunowners, r/libertarian without the hard-right Mises Caucus flavor, r/reloading, r/longrange

Happy to see: r/iowa, r/SocialistRA

Happy to not see: r/politics, r/whitepeopletwitter and their… unique dogpiling
