His username is a literal Ayn Rand reference, I don't know why anyone would bother wasting their time with someone with an Atlas Shrugged username quite honestly.
So a free market education leads to illiteracy, interesting. Do you hate the poor because of lingering odor and frequent mental health issues or because you have an "I got mine" mentality?
/r/drama is the nasty smelling guy that sveems to follow you to all your classes. He hangs out with a bunch of other similar guys. He will sit next to your table at lunch and with his greasy friends he'll loudly complain about you, and make a lot of meme-like jokes that you kind of half understand. He thinks he's funny but he's really painfully sad. You assume he has a bad home life, is probably bullied a lot for his looks, and lacks the grace to ask how to get along better.
Let me tell you this-- /r/Drama is one of the most malevolent, cruel, coldhearted online communities you'll ever find, and even as a supporter of free speech it appalls me that Reddit would allow such a vile, festering hub of bigotry and sadism to exist. You think [slur]town was bad? That subreddit, if you pick up on the dog-whistles (and many don't even bother with that-- say want you want about Stormfront, at least it bans "n[slur]"), will reveal itself to you as Reddit's number one hub for the web's most hardened Nazis, Klansmen, Fascists, and Gamergaters. You'll notice on the sidebar that it encourages members to be as dramatic as possible. That's intentional. They encourage arguments in the comments section. That's intentional. You know the Three Minute Hate (it's from this underrated book 1985, give it a read, it's scary how much it parallels our society)? It's like that, they want to stoke the flames of reactionary rage so they continue to dogpile every progressive and minority who enters the subreddit, normalizing these evil feelings. They brigade from subreddit to subreddit, having an entire cabal of mods spanning hundreds of communities, gaslighting lived experiences of the oppressed and unashamedly bolstering Reddit's homegrown white supremacy movement. They've kink-shamed hundreds of people too, some even... to death. I fear that /r/drama may be producing an entire army of Dylann Roofs and Elliot Rogers, and I highly suggest that nobody dares visit that horrible subreddit, lest you potentially fall victim to its corruptive aura.
Aw, I feel a little bad now for possibly being misinterpreted. My point was just a little joke about the fact that the first Dresden Files book is named "Storm Front", which I'm sure the author (a genuinely wonderful person) would never have chosen if he'd had any hint of what Stormfront is on the internet.
I'd stick with reading other people's comments about the site, rather than the site itself. It's kinda the same thing I do with comic books! Not because they're genocidal hate speech, but because I often enjoy the predigested summaries more than I enjoy reading all of the comics. (Not always, some comic events are great.)

They're such an obvious troll, which is why they are so successful in politics subs.

Oh sure today they're just telling you to install sprinklers but in 5 months they'll be droning you for not having your grass cut at the right length

I didn't manage to read all of that, but I have to remind people that even /r/dresdenfiles is a major proponent of Storm Front.

I'm fairly certain the book predates the subreddit.
n/a KennyFulgencio 2017-06-15
Wait, you do know that stormfront is a website, right?
n/a cleverseneca 2017-06-15
I did not, but now I know that I'm stuck between curiosity and not wanting to have such a hateful site in my browsing history.

Is Faith of the Fallen a superior rewrite of The Fountainhead, or just quality fanfiction?
n/a WikiTextBot 2017-06-15
Faith of the Fallen
Faith of the Fallen is the sixth book in Terry Goodkind's epic fantasy series The Sword of Truth.

Maybe poor people should try not being poor. Or find Jesus that always works. But stay away from Moloch.

But that's the problem with Moloch, you see. You don't choose to stay away from It, It chooses to stay with you.
