I always wonder why does "natural" excuse pedophilia and not like... Every other crime?

"It's natural to take available resources that enhance your individual success, why do you call it 'theft'?"

"It's just natural assertion of dominance, how can you call it murder?"

It's facially asinine, but they keep going back to that well

Redditors are the worst.

On a side note I discovered I still have a Slashdot account from like 15 years ago and checked it out. Back in the day I think they were leaning libertarian but looking at all of the comments on the articles they're pretty solidly liberal and antitrump.

I'm happy about that.

I feel the same way about Fark. Fark was always kind of conservative leaning but never too far right. I was afraid they would all turn trumpy but as it happened the vast majority of Fark commenters outright rejected trump and republicans in general after 2016. It was a relief.

Have you met any of those people who are extremely anti technology, are trying to get rid of anything not based on doing it by muscle power from their lives, but wear glasses/contacts?

I get it, but you should probably be consistent in your ideology before you get all smug at people about it

Goes the opposite way too. People say "it just ain't natural to gaymarry another man" then drive their car to work where they'll sit in a cubicle for 9.5 hours pushing buttons on a computer.

Slashdot back in the day had all the Bad Opinions that now seen to have migrated to Reddit. I remember their obsession with flying cars (technology will solve All The Problems!), befuddlement as to why public and mass transport was ever necessary (just drive!), insistence that everyone's grandmother should be using Linux (mine loves it!), and one thread about how a million dollars "was hardly any money at all".

Like to think it's the same posters now, but they've grown up.

I think antiwork is just full of conservative hate-posters.

Yes there are fake text message exchanges that deserve mocking, but even topics like student loan debt forgiveness are half-full of dipshits making the same conservative talking points about responsibility and fairness or whatever. And these are highly voted comments.

Reddit sure is being weird and mad about people posting pictures of Iran before the 1979 revolution, I guess they just really like theocracy

I don't think they're mad, there was just a very samey trend of people posting "College students in Tehran before the revolution c. 1978" and it's always girls in bikinis or something, so people started parodying it. Weird maybe, but not likely politically motivated IMO.

Iranians and Muslims in general don't like it because it's a shallow way of thinking about Iran's history and the state of the country during the Shah's rule. They even make memes about it.

The picture above seems reasonable to me. It's definitely a shallow way of looking at a country. More cleavage=more freedom!

Any credential you can imagine can be earned by a right wing American, and almost every single one is an idiot.

Doctors you can't imagine graduating med school in a million years, professors you doubt could pass a 101 class in their program, judges you couldn't trust to read your cell phone contract. MBAs who can't calculate interest.

Just thriving mountains of what you'd think was career ending incompetence.

I think maybe some of the libertarian programmers know how to program.
