Yea and hopefully Santa brings me a shiny new sled for Christmas this year.
I really did have some hope, for like a day reddit had actually turned and people were calling out all the bullshit excuses.
Now it’s back to the status quo. But one thing I noticed is r/blackpeopletwitter is astroturfed to shit.
24 hours and every post sounds like it was written by a 22 year old nerd with a lanyard saying “one guy is a rapist and the other guy got tongue tied”
There was legitimate frustration at the headlines but I’m assuming all those accounts are experiencing technical difficulties so things are heading back to on track.
There is a few people at least who seem to recognize that the articles about how it wasn’t a big deal are basically the same as “Oh sure so dale earnhardt takes one turn a little wide and suddenly he’s not allowed to race anymore?”

Yeah, after they started asking posters to provide photos to prove they weren’t white, reddit had to step in to stop that nonsense, the subreddit was getting dangerously close to having independent thoughts.
And yeah, I know it isn’t likely that they’ll actually self reflect, but most of us here were libs at one point, and I think we all had that moment that broke the comfortable illusion of liberalism for us. It won’t change most of their minds, but hopefully some of them actually start to question things.
Hopefully this leads the latter group to a bit of self-reflection and they start to unravel all the liberal brainworms.
