Bro....the source is "some dude on Twitter said so"
I mean come on. This has been getting ridiculous. Every single day now reddit has has top level r/all posts and comments with thousands of liberals agreeing with whatever some meme says.
...Are we going to ignore the covid conspiracies, pizza gate allegations, and so on and so forth? Hell, conservatives were taking wrinkled shorts as an Olympic athlete "secretly being trans".
Might want to check yourself on conservative talking points before complaining and trying to say liberals are following memes too much. Or assuming everyone talking about it is even liberal to begin with.
Or you have in the past assumed people are coming from a conservative stance, just like in your previous comment....
Could also be argued that they are not calling out 'liberals' but rather calling out the echo-chamber that this, and many other, subs often become.
Even if they intended to call out liberals, randomly responding with aggression doesnt help anyone. Instead, it would be far more productive to have a cordial conversation with someone that has differing points of views, and understanding where they are coming from.
Who is responding with aggression? If pointing out the numerous cases of similar "rumor spreading" is "aggression" that's a you thing. So sorry this is apparently upsetting you, but specifically calling out liberals in a statement...is calling out liberals. Not sure why you want to see it differently.
Pointing out the numerous cases of rumour spreading, while on a post about a rumour being spread from an completely anonymous and bullshit source, "some guy on Twitter said" is just pure peak hypocrisy my friend. Not sure how you don't see it. Crazy.
BTW, I am not a conservative at all. It's a pretty sad your desire to just villify anyone who points out your own hypocrisy. You have the desire to "other" me and claim in a conservative based on a few past experiences you perceived. I think all the pizzagate and idiotic runours and shit conservatives believe based on shit they read on qanon and Twitter is ridiculous, and I'm currently watching it unfold every day on the left now as well here on reddit. Be better
Go back and read your reply to them... you took it somewhere else all by yourself.
Im not upset at all, just rolling my eyes at the lack of self awareness so many people have these days, especially when it comes to 'their teams' politics... i only chimed in to maybe help someone see that both 'sides' are as bad as eachother and both 'sides' are full of hypocrites.
Like i said before, instead of assuming and jumping to conclusions, try having a level headed conversation instead. You will probably find you agree on more than you think.
I am the person he is responding to, and yeah you pretty much nailed it. I am not even the slightest bit conservative, in fact, I was specifically pointing out the hypocrisy in exact stories like this from the conservative side, and now it's just been every single day on reddit, the liberals have become exactly what they made fun of conservatives for. They used to be shocked at the pizza gate pedo blood drinking trans tan suit wearing Dijon mustard liking BS. Now it's thousand of comments based on a meme from Twitter with a source of "some random guy on Twitter said this" where all the comments are pretending like it's a real story. They exclaim moral outrage, while not seeing how ridiculous it is what they are commenting on. Then for that guy to come in and talk about "but they said pizzagate!" Is just like a hypocritical cherry on top of the proverbial shit sandwich political discourse is.
This is so fascinating. I don't remember conservative traits including pointing out insane misinformation and asking for us to be better about ascertaining better sources than "some guy said on twitter"
I was pretty sure liberals always made fun of conservatives for getting information from memes off Twitter but in the last few weeks I've been getting proven very wrong sadly. And as a liberal, I'm 100% in my lane by asking us not to be fucking idiots.
It really isn't, the last few weeks have been getting crazy. It's really saddening, I am a liberal, hate the fuck out of the conservatives, but the amount of people lately agreeing with memes on Twitter here on reddit is getting out of control.
