I wasn’t exactly a fan of the subreddit before this for various reasons but it’s really funny how predictable libs are that they all join the doomer sub in 2025 because trump won and completely forget what the whole point of the sub is which used to be a loose coalition of cranks, climate doomers, leftists/anarchists, conspiracy guys and preppers like some real weirdos who were at least not exactly people who would be like “oh hell yes america baby constiution lets own the conservatives by dressing up in red white and blue!!! that will make them real mad this is definitely not a op!”
no like seriously this is so funny one of the top comments is basically someone tsk tsking others in the comments for being apathetic aka dooming which is what the fucking SUBREDDIT is supposed to be for. You’re on the reddit DOOMER sub you fucking donkey.
Another good example is the /r/military sub which is essentially filled with libs that went there basically as a way of wishcasting that people in the military are gonna be on their side but it’s more like random lib redditors talking to eachother than actual people in the military at this point lmfao
reclaim our patriotism
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
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
I mean i am not at all surprised they found their way to the billions must die subreddit.
It was meant to be
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 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
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.
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?
