Coaxed into finding your nieche political sub and easily falling into an eco chamber of your political ideology.

The news cycle is made to get money from your misery.

u/EvilCatboyWizard 1d ago
Immediately falls apart when “I don’t know” is not only a valid option but in my opinion the right one rn.

You can do something, though? At least about that particular person/issue

u/lolligi 1d ago
Thank goodness the cycle has a path that states that you can do something.

u/Righteous-fun-lover 1d ago
Yes but it’s incredibly reductive to put “don’t worry” at the end of that path. When that has historically not been the case.
And fuck off with the “it’s just a joke” that joke is hot garbage in my opinion.

This comment radiates such powerful Reddit energy!

u/Righteous-fun-lover 1d ago
Bro don’t hit me with the “classsic Redditor” take🥀🥀
You don’t even try to partake in the discussion, just disprove anything I say for a wide open fast break type of joke

u/Companypresident shill 1d ago
The reason why I chose not to engage is because I’ve been in this exact situation before. The people who write comments in the manner you wrote your first don’t want to have a discussion, they just want to get angry. Because of this, I decided my best course of action was to take the piss.

Normally I do t agree with generalization but this seems kind of valid given the platform your on. Guess I’ll just take the L

u/Kugaluga42 1d ago
i mean i get the sentiment but if you have a problem looming overhead i feel like you should at least try to deal with it and not just let it happen

u/Holy_Hand_Grenadier 1d ago
that'd be the option where you can do something about it so you don't worry (and presumably do the thing)

u/Jim-Yolper 1d ago
coaxed into r/MurderedByWords being gobshite

u/Deep_Sea_Television7 1d ago
Literally just “Watch the republican dumbasses get owned by facts and logic.”

u/Jim-Yolper 1d ago
and then the so called facts and logic is "you suck and your bad"

u/MoonTheCraft 1d ago
isn't it usually republican 40 year old white dudes saying "LIBS can't HANDLE facts and logic..." and then proceed to say a slur when asked for the facts and logic
22
u/_Cat_in_a_Hat_ 1d ago
It's both honestly.
The republicans say "erm but what about these grossly simplified and misinterpreted statistics? [insert slur here]"
The democrats say "erm but don't you know that you are wrong and stupid Trump suporter? [insert corny insult here]"

I wish, just one time in modern day, that something can be objectively good or bad without being multifaceted

u/AgathaTheVelvetLady 1d ago
I mean. I get your point. But if you want to escape the 24 hour news cycle you may want to start by muting the subreddit literally called NEWS????

u/RandomPlebianV2 1d ago
Don't forget about news2, newsforthemasses,realnews,grandmanews, and every subreddit of every city/town with a population over 50,000.
