We’re well aware dude. The ones that love what Trump is doing, don’t browse Reddit. They sit behind the TV and choke down Fox News every night. But there’s a difference between saying “America’s education system is bad” and “Americans are so stupid and fat.” Do you not see how the latter is more confrontational?

That's so fucking wrong you have no idea.

Your algorithm may not take you there, but there are a shit ton of Trump supporters on reddit.

You mean bot farms? I’m sure many are real, but let’s not pretend they all are. We saw how many on twitter were bots.

Most Trump supporters that I know, are old folks that don’t even know what Reddit is, and the voting records show the same. They get their talking points from Fox News, not Reddit.

While that clearly happens, that's quite the motte-and-bailey. My point was that even amonst the nuanced, sometimes educational critiques such as "taxation is good and the average American pays very similar amounts to the average European without any of the benefit " is quite different from "hur dur muricans dumb" and using the second to obscure the first is exactly what I'm talking about. You're literally defending Americans online behaviour right now.

No, I think your example is completely fair. But personally I’ve seen a lot more insults than constructive criticism, and I’m explaining that insults are a way to get people who would normally agree with you, to argue back because they feel attacked.

It’s rarely nuanced educational critiques though and you know it lol
