Well, okay, let’s be real. Do you want to see every news story go like “And we have a witness here who saw the thing that happened. Sir, can you describe what happened?” and he inserts a rant against capitalism?

At the same time, I applaud this guy. He even contributed to the fluff piece about snow, but also got some zingers in there. Nicely done.

I think like many things in life: A judicious sprinkling of this behaviour is great, and this got people talking, and I love it. Too much and it bogs down and gets unweildy.

This was awesome. I think it helps the conversation in a small way, and that’s awesome. Dont’ need too much of it, though. Definitely need action to work against our oligarchs, though. But this was good and helps a little :)

What a stupid as fuck hill to choose to die on.

What a stupid fucking bunch of idiots replying. Fuck you and fuck all of the rest of you fucking morons. Nobody would want that. I don’t know why people are saying they would. Jesus fucking Christ I hate the internet sometimes.

It was a little bit of observation and then everyone went YES WE ONLY WANT TO HEAR ONE REPEATING THING AND NOTHING ELSE, like, no news about ANYTHING else. That’s so fucking ridiculous I would think this is a fucking sarcastic subreddit.

This is the type of stupid shit that makes me not want to speak up at all, because everyone is fucking wrong. And it’s not a big deal until twenty people are like “ACKSHYLLU I AM STUPID” and the downvoting, which I don’t fucking care about numbers, but it’s the lack of respect for what was just a fucking comment in passing.

I thouht it was fun, but of course nobody wants that constant interruption. And now fucking morons are like “YES I want that interruption all the time!” No you fucking don’t and if it happened a TENTH of the time you’d complain that they should shut up.

So it was a nothing until asshole fucking morons made it something, and now it’s so much worse than nothing.

Goddammit. Fuck off.

Please refer to my previous comment.
