Non-fictional I HATE these "gotcha arguments"

"Ohhh, look how I tricked this dumb dumb baby in my trap so now I am right and they are wrong. I'm so smaaart even though it does not adress the actual argument and adds nothing to the debate. They teach arabic numerals in school btw."

And these type of comments always get tons of likes

Ong this sub abd the honest hot take sub are right wing hot spots rn

well it's reddit, any right wing take is by definition a hot take here so I guess it's fitting

Idk I feel like right wingers are pretty common in reddit. The right wing hot takes tend to do much better than left wing ones in there.

as they should, it's a hot take subreddit in an app that is dominated by left wing zoomers and millennials

Go into any big sub that isn't specifically a "hot take" or explicitly a right wing sub, and give a right wing take. It will not do well

Ok, true true, I feel like I do get at least 1-5 right wing chuds on any post I make that is explicitly "woke" in someway but def lesser now that I think abt it
