  • I have a conspiracy theory about Reddit and social media in general:

    I think its algorithm not only puts up links but users and their comments in their view that are more likely to piss you off, and they measure this based on observing your post and comment history. I believe they categorize users by political affiliation and moral outlook by this method, and use that info to purposefully expose you to people who will cause you conflict to drive up engagement and therefore ad dollars.

    I believe they also use chat bots to argue with people for that purpose.

  • Okay. I read that post, nowhere did it come off as patronizing at all, and it holds people accountable foe having basic knowledge which is an expectation of most adults in society, so I don't see how the anti-intellectualist garbage is in any wa valid here.

  • I confess, I genuinely don't know if they were being serious or not. There's a lot of antinatalism that goes around climate circles, but that also would be a chance at a joke I unwittingly walked into.

    I don't plan on having kids regardless so in my case it's a moot point. I just hope others have other ideas for ways an individual can contribute to prevent climate induced species extinction.

  • That's silly. You absolutely can go on an IRL adventure if you want.

    Source: I backpacked across the U.S. a few years ago, it was literally the best thing I have ever done for myself.

    You only live once. Go on a fucking adventure.

  • I don't think he's doing anything but concern trolling to benefit the right and to disinform the next generation of people. We have to reach out to the young ones they're lying to and make sure they have access to the truth, and that they know their schools are being forced to lie to them.

  • No slave ever learned anything beneficial by being a slave. Those skills became non beneficial simply by virtue of how they were forced on them. Even shit like farming cotton now leaves a bad taste in people's mouths because it is tainted by that trauma. And the machinery required to render hand labor for it redundant was invented around the Civil War anyway, rendering any such skills anachronistic and obsolete.
