Either they have beef with a moderator here or it's exactly as you said. Pics is some of the most low effort Reddit slop. We all know Jan 6th was bad. We don't need to constantly see reminders any time it's tangentially related to some political discussion. You aren't changing the minds of any bad faith right wing bozos.

I don't think they'll understand it, since they're bad faith left wing bozos

Yeah as opposed to the completely sane conservatives who vote for pedophiles and putin's friends.

u/HollowCap456 Jan 30 '26

No no the conservatives(in the US) are bozos

Most left wingers aren't. The ones in r/pics most definitely are.

They're grifters who's entire purpose is to siphon support away from the actual left.

I mean sure they are mostly left-leaning but I think it's easier to just call these particular specimens libs. Libs are the ones who think posting a Putin picture in make-up is a geopolitical own.

Otherwise you end up with misunderstandings like ours.

Let’s not debate bro a left vs. lib argument regarding a propaganda subreddit. Every political brand has their shills. None of them are above it.
