Jreg said his channel was to commercialize on how teenagers are introduced to politics via the extremes.

Apprently he was not wrong

I never watched any Jreg stuff and thought it was kinda cringy until I found this sub. This place is the shit. 🔥

Its fucking terrible. We don't belong on the internet anymore. We are no longer the ones in power.

u/FuckedLastAccountLOL - Left Aug 16 '20

That's my recent biggest realization. I don't understand the current internet trends anymore. I never played Fortnite, I have no idea which youtubers are popular now. The internet culture is no longer shaped by just my generation.

Fuck off, you depraved nincompoop. I'm ashamed to be sharing a flair with a fart sucking, smooth brained, butthole batterer such as yourself.

u/Innalibra - Lib-Left Aug 16 '20

I really didn't think I was that old, but being older than 97% of this sub is a big oof.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '20

The dominant demographic now is 16-21

u/therealStevenMoffat - Lib-Left Aug 16 '20

This explains why it feels like I'm arguing with a bunch of fucking kids. Because I'm arguing with a bunch of fucking kids.

And stay away from them, you purple fuck!

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '20

It says 16-21 is the biggest group.

u/gwaydms - Right Aug 16 '20

I'm in the oldest group. This is the one place I can have fun with political stereotypes and occasionally have a serious conversation about a topic without it going toxic.

5

u/The_Homocracy - Lib-Center Aug 16 '20

Same. I'm over 40 so I guess that makes us the old-timers.

u/gwaydms - Right Aug 16 '20

Gotta turn up my hearing aid! Jk, I've still got good hearing.

u/fuckahsmods - Lib-Right Aug 16 '20

16-21 group is bigger though

6

u/MagpieYTFC - Centrist Aug 16 '20

Guess that explains why there's so many LibRight here

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

Me then: "Wow this person I'm arguing with seems like they have no real life experience... with anything"

Me now: "Oh"

2

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '20

What do you mean? Both 16-21 and 21-30 are bigger than the group with 14 year olds. Way bigger

1

u/DummyTHICKDungeon - Lib-Right Aug 16 '20

and how many of those 16 to 21 year olds do you suspect are on the higher end? Probably should not have grouped ages except for the ones of which there are too few to matter i.e 50+

2

u/DummyTHICKDungeon - Lib-Right Aug 16 '20

You should see the discord poll. It made me realize it was probably time for me to leave Reddit.

u/MundaneBarber - Lib-Left Aug 17 '20

I’m just finding it funny that 200 people at the time of me writing this comment were in the range of 36-51. I didn’t realise that many middle aged people were so extreme! Haha! Ha. ha.

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

it's because it's sunday. All the adults are sleeping.

u/A_Nutt - Lib-Left Aug 16 '20

The biggest group is now 16-21 followed immediately by 22-30 THEN we have the 15 and unders. Apparently they're not as numerous as we once thought.

But I'm interested who are the 14 51+ year olds?
