I made this comment over 4 years ago describing my observations of that sub, turns out I hit the nail on the head
Last year I finally figured out what r/collapse's deal is, they're downwardly mobile (upper middle to lower middle) suburban millennial kids who discovered capitalism exists, half of them know it as capitalism and the other half think it's "cOrruPt hUmAn NatUre"
Facets of reality that would appear "normal" or obvious to people who exist under or just above the poverty line gets confused as signals of impending collapse (which to be fair on a long enough timeline probably are)
Those kids are harmless, but they get worked up real easy, most of them probably never set foot in an apartment until they left for collage
I mean i am not at all surprised they found their way to the billions must die subreddit.
It was meant to be
Fash aesthetics are so irresistable.
As a non-Burgerlander I find their fash aesthetics indistinguishable from the merch of some second rate American Football team.
until i read this comment i genuinely assumed that that image was a usamerican football logo lmao
Liberals are so bad at protesting
Impeaching Trump for the 3rd or 4th time like it will do anything 😂
Liberals have a child's fairy tale conception of the world.
Got in an argument with one because I said laws are fake and trump can do whatever he wants.
"Hitler broke laws and nobody did anything to him" is apparently a bad example because trump isn't hitler so we can't compare the two!
/r/collapse
one of the most sus people I know is always mentioning this sub whenever he brings up something he's read
I unsubbed from a bunch of subreddits (TooAfraidToAsk, NoStupidQuestions, OutOfTheLoop, a handful of others I don't remember) that just got full of shitlibs circlejerking with questions like "Why would President dRumpf enact this policy that will destroy the US Economy" or "Why would Elon Musk's DOGE -----" (I stopped reading before the end). It just got annoying. I don't follow the politics subreddit because it's shitlib central, and the shitlibs were leaking everywhere. And then they and conservatives would get into pointless arguments not realizing that they're on the same side.
has never been good but it keeps getting worse.
I love how "we almost didn't lose!" is apparently a reason to give up hope. Dems are such losers that they get excited when they almost don't lose. What a big accomplishment guys wow good job
he pat my riot until i ism
counterpoint: He pat my rio until i tism
Yeah, the original collapse discord is still pretty good for actual information and discussion, at least from my rare pop over to have a look. Generally better politics as well.
I missed the drama, but I think as the subreddit diverged from that, they made their own more lib-aligned discord.
The only way to beat a bad fascist is to be a good fascist. But fuck those authoritarian tankies, amiright?
