Reddit whenever someone bashes a conservative (i.imgur.com)

The amount of nasty generalizing about conservatives on here puts the racists, sexists, and all the rest of the haters on here to shame.
Just saw one post about "Mitt Romney's sex poetry"...
What in the hell? And it got 500 votes up...what??
It was put in r/funny, wasn't funny, was stupid, and it got votes up because people are political douches.
People will actually vote up something incredibly stupid and pointless if it agrees with their political point of view and that's sad.

17 year olds, man. 17 year olds.

I am sick and tired of hearing people say teenagers are stupid, uninformed, and generally unintelligent little shits who don't know up from down. Please, avoid making hasty generalizations about a group, or you become no better than all the, "racists, sexists, and all the rest of the haters," as fotan said. While it is true that teenagers like myself have not quite reached the peak of their maturity, it does not mean that everyone over 18 has the right to put themselves on their little "holier than thou" pedestal of experience. I know for a fact that some teenagers do some really stupid shit, and I don't deny that. This does not mean that we all are that way. Please, stop stereotyping us and find some other way to explain social trends on Reddit, okay?

Your a teenager. It's not like you have to overcome years of oppression or start another civil rights movement. Everyone was a teenager at some point so we know how stupid they are. Saying that discriminating against teens is the equivalent of racism and sexism just confirms why people say teenagers are dumb. In a few years you wont be a teenager any more. Please do yourself a favor and pick another social movement.
[–]Watchman304 -7 points-6 points-5 points 2 months ago
First off, you probably meant to use *you're, as opposed to "your". Second, calling someone out for being judgmental does not qualify a social movement. Third, I was not saying that it was the equivalent, I was making a comparison. To state that they were equal, I would have had to say something along the lines of, "discriminating against teenagers is the equivalent of racism and sexism," as you so eloquently stated. I was saying that making assumptions in such a manner is a problem in a similar vein. You might want to check your own actions in this manner, as you seem to have incorrectly analyzed my statements. There is a large difference between comparing a downright mean comment to a relevant problem, and declaring the start of a new social revolution. If you wanted to put me in my place, as it seems you were trying to do, make sure you understand the issue at hand first.
Oh sweet lord, (you're) just making it worse. There isn't a "relevant problem". You just need to get your panties untangled and grow up.
[–]Watchman304 -1 points0 points1 point 2 months ago
You aren't making yourself clear. What am I making worse? Also, how am I doing so? If you would like to discuss this further, please calm down enough to make a well-reasoned and sensible argument.
[–]hobozombie 2 points3 points4 points 2 months ago
Everybody saying that used to be teenagers and therefore have first-hand experience. Teenagers, in general, tend to think they know everything about the world and will not hesitate to tell you about it, but actually know nothing. We've all been there, and we all realize how little we knew as teens.
[–]Watchman304 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
I'm not trying to say I know everything, quite to the contrary. I recognize that I don't have the age or experience of those older than me, I just don't think lack of experience is the same as stupidity.
[–]24cal 10 points11 points12 points 2 months ago
This is so true... I think its because a coservative is assosiated with a Christian bible thumper which is just not the case for a lot of conservatives. People talk about not generalizing and being open minded but then what I described happens.
[–]GuardXIII 2 points3 points4 points 2 months ago
I'm to the point that both sides suck equally, and then upvote everyone.
[–]UltraMegaMegaMan 5 points6 points7 points 2 months ago
Actually conservatives (real, not fake) are ok in my book. I'm a fiscal conservative. Republicans are the problem, and the chicanery they peddle masquerading as conservatism.
Protip: if you think homos, abortion, and banning all taxes and regulation are what makes a conservative you are doing it wrong.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 2 months ago
Up vote for you! I like how most people on reddit see me as some tv evangelist, kissing snakes, lynching gays, and bombing abortion clinics just because I am mostly conservative. They are becoming the very people that they obviously hate so much by lumping us all in with the crazies. When in all actuality, I just want to see my tax dollars being appropriated to sensible things. Like schools and border protection.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 2 months ago
And here I was, thinking that ultimately increasing the national deficit was a BAD thing.. Heeheehoho, silly me. Spend away liberals, spend away. So blind. Being conservative isn't about loving Jesus and hating gays. It's about being responsible for OUR tax dollars. No?
[–]supersede 6 points7 points8 points 2 months ago
it is important to admit though, that we have that problem on both wings of the political system, at least the last couple presidents.
conservatives just aren't conservative anymore. and the blue dog democrats are nowhere to be seen.
fiscal responsibility is fucking absent from politics for some reason.
[–]D4wn0ff473 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago
hmmm for some reason... lets see what that reason could be... Oh yeah corruption, and banks and lobbyists padding everyone in congresses pockets. No no one votes for the people any more they vote for whoever pays them the most. Our political system is bought.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
Bought and payed for, my friend. And it's despicable.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 2 months ago
Thank you, and yes. The problem lies on both sides of the issue. I'm a very avid voter, I just don't trust anyone on either side. But if I had to pick, I go conservitave. Mainly because I believe less govt leads to better quality of life. Our federal govt has become too powerful too quickly.
I just hate when people criticize conservitave beliefs because it's the 'cool' thing to do. Ex: I just got a reply to that comment by someone calling me a republican liberal basher. I just wanted to tell him to go to walk his bobs to starbucks and work on his novel on his MacBook pro that mommy and daddy bought. But I sent him this link: http://m.cbsnews.com/fullstory.rbml?catid=57400369&feed_id=3&videofeed=39 ....and promptly disengaged the conversation...aka 'dropped the mic'. Lol
[–]voyaging 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
Obama has had lower government spending during his first term than every president since Eisenhower. Yes, that includes Reagan.
[–]CountNoAccount -4 points-3 points-2 points 2 months ago
What's this? A Republican apologist/Liberal basher who is completely disconnected from reality and who spouts lies about the deficit? I'm shocked.
It's convenient that your little chart doesn't have a source. Did you make it yourself? I like macaroni charts better.
Like I said. Blind.
http://m.cbsnews.com/fullstory.rbml?catid=57400369&feed_id=3&videofeed=39 Here it is, from a liberal news source. Nice try though. And for future reference, just because someone is conservative, doesn't mean they are a republican. I forgive you though, solely on the premise that you are probably a college student; influenced only by the words spoken by your misinformed, self-righteous peers.
CBS is a liberal news source? Is everything except Fox News a liberal news source?
Would you really consider fox a news source?
[–]Kinbensha -1 points0 points1 point 2 months ago
When Reddit mocks conservatives, they're almost always specifically mocking religious fundamentalists, aka the current Republican party.
Reddit has a strong respect for fiscally conservative people who aren't science deniers. Sure, we disagree, but I've never seen Reddit mob up on a poster who was a rational conservative. It's just a major problem in the US at the moment that too many conservatives are actually homophobic or refuse to accept evolution. Those people, no matter what we call them, are the problem. It's just unfortunate that "conservatives" happen to be what they call themselves.

Time to start writing up some I.O.U.'s.
[–]PeeWeePangolin -1 points0 points1 point 2 months ago
I'm sorry that you feel lumped in with the crazies, but for the sake of clarity, what makes a conservative a conservative? Especially in the U.S.
[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 2 months ago
You act like up votes are a form of currency. Who gives a fuck?
[–]CountNoAccount -12 points-11 points-10 points 2 months ago
Those poor conservatives. So poor, so conservative, so put upon by Reddit.
Can we start a Reddit telethon to collect sympathy and upvotes for conservatives? After all, they've done so much for Reddit, isn't time that we give back?
faggotree, you are like the Sally Struthers of politics. Your parents must be so proud.

I'm a Republican and I make plenty of quality posts. Durp.
[–]SarahGracie -1 points0 points1 point 2 months ago
no offense, but your two highest scoring posts just say "I'm a girl" in /r/circlejerk ... hahah not exactly "quality" imo
[–]Pooters 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago
My comments are gold. IDGAF about submissions. And that "I'm a girl" post made you laugh.
hey, it did make me laugh.. Especially sense you posted it twice in the same year and got a shitton of upvotes both times haha
I just assumed when you said "post" you meant submissions
Nothing like the circlejerkers, lol.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago
I've finally found the expert I've been looking for. It's you! So what, exactly is your view of the chief differences between a liberal and a conservative? in your own words. I'll know because your vocab doesn't exactly stand out. And no links. Just a brief explanation. Let's hear that arrogant excrement flow.
[–]CountNoAccount -2 points-1 points0 points 2 months ago
If you are into watching excrement flow, you are in the wrong corner of the Internet, sir. I can't help you. I thought you already dismissed me as a college student without an original thought of my own. Don't you have anything better to do on a Friday?
Haha! I was at work. And from the sound of it, I hit the nail on the head. Enjoy your dreadlocked drum circle.
