Reddit is selective stories posted and upvoted by an army of bots to whatever leaning sub you're in. All with spoon fed analysis from your community circle jerk echo chamber.

Anyone who gets their political news through it is a huge twat (memphis).

there's no such thing as unbiased news. bias is intrinsic to the very concept of telling a story, which involves decisions about what to include and what to leave out, i.e. biases

you'd be better off thinking critically about whatever you read, wherever it comes from, than go looking for some authentic source of unimpeachable truth you can believe in without question

Yes, but its harder to do that when you get your news from a site that puts the emphasis around the discussion of the news item more than the news itself. Especially when said discussion is neatly compartmentalize into your own echo chamber.

reddit isn't for news, it's for all the shit the news leaves out

I think reddit's the most important site on the interwebs. I get all fuzzy inside from r/aww, get a laugh out of r/funny, enjoy the nonsense at r/ShowerThoughts and God bless the poor souls at r/TIFU.

Getting back on point, I have to say that despite Memphis supposedly being red-pilled-woke-up-enlightened and all that, he and his arguments come across like a 6 year old having a hissy fit. Not sure if that comes with the being enlightened and everything. Shaft seems that much more level-headed that I have much more faith in him getting a well balanced healthy news intake than Memphis.

There are tons of normal people and great subreddits. Just none of the ones that you frequent and repost here.

I think we can all agree memphis used to just be a semi-cool video game nerd who role played xcom 80hrs a week and shared his antics here. Too bad he beat the game and filled that void in his life by joining some alt-right trump reddit meme cult. Now he's a total cunt.

I like all the try-hard slang Memphis is using. It's clearly a method of self-identifying with a particular group of people (the group of people using the same slang) and distancing himself from others.

It's similar to how teens pick up their own vocabulary to distance themselves from the "uncool" adults that aren't familiar with their specific brand of language.

If Russia wanted to help Trump become President (for whatever reason), why are these Russians now coming out saying they attended meetings with Trump Jr? This will surely damage the Trumps and therefore will damage whatever advantage they wanted by having Trump in the White House. Unless all they wanted to do from the beginning was stir shit up and cause chaos. They damn sure doing that...

They really couldn't lose either way. Either it stayed a secret and Trump bettered our relations and lifted sanctions. Or we became a joke to the rest of the world and a bumbling idiot broke our democracy.

I suppose you're right. Now that they've been ousted and the writing is on the wall, they said fuck it. Let's just fuck their shit up...

Are the Russians coming out? Wasn't it Trump Jr tweeting the mails?
