i'll start. i saw a ask reddit post saying something along the lines of "men of reddit whats something women can't understand" and the comments were just. oh my god. the main one that made me want to puke was "when dudes walk by each other and nod" and the whole fucking thread was just fedoras with arms soypogging like it was some secret language or something. "when you nod upwards, it means respect!!!!!1!!11 when you nod downwards its aggression!!!1!11!!!!!" as if women dont do the same shit.

do you guys have something similar to share?

The shermanposting subreddit. Their hearts are mostly in the right place, but god damn are they severely hampered by nationalist and American exceptionalist brainworms. Actually that dovetails with another cringe redditism: libs calling people traitors and insurrectionists and shit. It's such larping and it only serves to make the target of your ire sound way cooler than you. You can just tell when you read those comments that the people making them are thrilled to have some kind of relief from ppst-end of history alienation, to have some kind of historical conflict to participate in and people to participate in it with through the medium of heroic speeches and shallow redditisms.
