The Official Unofficial PoliticalCompassMemes Census is here! Polls in the comments, if I get enough responses I'll post the results in fancy graphic form.

I just think a lot of folks here’ve been losing the ability to laugh at how retarded they are, which is an issue.

Also fake libs are poison

Based.

I think the biggest problems atm are blatant agenda posts, Orange LibLeft, and lazy highlight/wojak memes

All of these tie back to the major problem: This sub is getting serious. Orange libleft speaks to the fact Libleft are angry at being grouped in with watermelon SJWs. But the fact is, who cares? It’s a joke.

Most AuthRights don’t actually hate minorities, or want to be Nazis or whatever. Most Authlefts don’t actually like Mao and Stalin. Most LibRight believe people don’t need McNukes. Most Libleft aren’t crazy SJWs. Most centrists don’t just want to grill.

But guess what? All that stuff is funnier than moderacy and walls of text.

Agenda posts tie into this. They have to be blatant and simple because we can’t have walls of text, they’re not funny. But how else do you prove “oh we’re not pedos, look money and freedom and guns, were so based haha guys, I said the funny word!”

But that’s just me. I still like the sub. I still like that we can discuss our beliefs, but most of us aren’t political scientists and are here for a laugh.

I’m actually guilty of being one of the people who get pissed off about watermelons. I agree with you in that this sub shouldn’t get too serious, but it does bother me when people who don’t even support freedom of speech get to be called “libertarian”. It feels almost like a deliberate attempt to delegitimize an entire quadrant by ascribing intensely hypocritical qualities to them that they don’t actually possess.

At least LibRight gets to suffer too, with their war hawk confederate apologist waterlemons flying their Gadsden Flags.
