One of the most interesting aspects of reddit is how it is able to function as a perfect left wing echo chamber. The amount of times far left users will make the exact same comments, deflections, and whataboutism in succinct order is actually quite impressive. They have effectively created a perfect simulation for themselves on reddit where they do not have to actually think about or engage with opinions they disagree with.

We are in a sad state with US politics where we have extremists to the left and right of us who live with horse blinders on, and are so locked into their spoon fed narratives and rhetoric they can't tolerate even a shred of nuanced thinkin. TBH I think it generally is more disappointing coming from the left now because most people tend to have higher expectations of them because they often push education and critical thinking, but now it is just whatever their social media masters tell them and they have become just as tribalistic and cult like as maga. Which is crazy because they literally just lost a national election but feel more emboldened to alienate more and more people.

Seeing people on the left commonly saying things like "centrists/independents are just republicans who are scared to admit it" just shows how warped a lot of them are becoming. They really can't handle the truth that a lot of far left narratives are not popular with the general American public, even people who agree with them on otherwise issues that the left had as easy lay ups(environmentalism, healthcare reform, education reform). It is just the issues where things are a lot more black and white they double down on the aspects where they choose to be more polarizing or they push culture war bullshit that honestly is irrelevant in a lot of the moment. Thins like immigration or fire arms they just take a very black and white stance on, when its clear these topics require more nuance.

It is very telling how quickly the left goes mask off when they see people of color who don't follow lock step with all the BS they push and immediately resort to racial attacks or blaming people of color for their own failings; like saying Kamala Harris lost because black men didn't want to vote for a women; although black people in general vote overwhelmingly for democrats and black men voted for Hillary in her loss against Trump.

People on the left generally are either infantilizing non white minority groups or acting like these groups owe them something; and when they don't get it they resort to racial attacks that show they aren't much better than the right.

This character was ruined by Tekken 8 and they literally all play the same. Stance mix up slop out the ass, mixed with braindead evasion, and insane tracking. I used to generally enjoying playing against this character but now whenever I matched against a Steve even in GOD+ ranks I know its going to be the same gimmicky playstyle..

The amount of people who use other users promo posts as a time to trauma dump their personal grievances about the game is really tacky.

I just say congrats and keep it pushing lol.
