Reddit Roundup 2022-07-24
Atheism is BACK
This is the second installment of my Reddit Popular tab roundup. My method is simple: I randomly open www.reddit.com/r/popular and review what the editors want people to see for that day.
1. Smug and Enlightened Roundup
2008 Gaytheism is definitely back. This is the innocuous culture war the country’s countersubversion astroturfers feel most comfortable with (attacking Christianity).
(a) Atheism seeking proselytes
(b) Funny memes!
Christians can’t meme!
(b) Remember, the enemy of the people, capital, and black bodies are the local, heavily decentralized police and not the federal, heavily centralized police.
(c ) Thanks for the help bringing the perpetrators of the greatest attack on ARE DEMOCRACY in world history to justice, Liz
(d) Orban needs to be careful with his unpopular opinions.
This is a real unpopular opinion from the dark reddit enlightenment
2. Soyface Roundup
(a) This is always my favorite part of the roundup. Today we’ll look at how the subreddit entitled OldSchoolCool is dedicated to old pictures of black people
(b) Don’t forget to get excited about the latest Hollywood ersatz religion efforts
(c ) LET’S SEE WHAT’S NEXTFUCKINGLEVEL TODAY!
3. What Should You Feel Indignant About Today Roundup?
(a) You should be really mad about cars!!
(b) Let’s see who deserved to be lynched today or otherwise receive righteous extrajudicial punishment for transgressing a non-legal social norm
(c ) A glimpse at the Redditor’s moral modules. Here the redditor struggles with whether intent and knowledge are relevant predicates in convicting a victim of one of its public shaming rituals.
4. Let’s Lighten the Mood Roundup
(a) A. Wyatt Mann inspired racial caricatures are funny if they stigmatize white people.
(b) Hilarious karmic justice
(c ) Let’s check in on what’s uplifting in the news today
Why are conservatives so obsessed with drag queens?
5. Girl Reddit Roundup
Running out of energy here but this encompasses most of the content:
The top comment in that Orban thing is a bona fide "ACKSHUALLY" meme
Without getting too much into it, the reddit denizen first announces his credentials: he is Hungarian, but not the bad kind that votes for Orban; no he is a "global citizen" / rootless cosmopolitan who happens to be from Hungary. He then summarizes a wiki article about all the times the Magyars were invaded and their women raped (he calls it intermingling) throughout their history before concluding that, actually, there is no such thing as "Hungarian." In conclusion, they should willingly accept millions of refugees from the global south.
The replies are twofold: "wow it sounds like Hungarians sure do like to FUCK," and "ALL Europeans are mongrels; it's time to give your daughters to Africa"
Highly recommended reading
The Jesus at the door meme reminds me of Poltergeist 2 “Open the door... And let me in!”
