I hope that this is the end. r/Drama has a unique way of bringing out the worst in people. It really does, I think. The dynamic here is just so fucking toxic and it turns people into the worst possible people they can be.
Drama is an addiction. It should be classified as something more like heroine or meth than a game.
The legacy of Drama has been written large in blood, quite literally. Several Drama posters have committed mayocide, and this place enabled their downward spirals. u/DarqWolff's insanity was made far worse by this place. I've come to the conclusion that the internet, as a social platform, was a mistake.
It radicalizes people by isolating them with other people just like them and so they spiral into the worst versions of themselves. Drama made me a worse person, and it's made most of you worse people. It's been the breeding ground of pedophile groomers, alt-right killers, and suicidal narcissists. This place is a total fucking shithole and I spent three years of my life that I'll never get back immersed in it. It was a total waste and I'm going to regret this period of my life for the rest of my existence as will most of you.
Even the most moral people have been made worse for being here. I think that the fundamental issue with Drama is that due to the way reputations work, betrayal, secret cabals, two-faced bs, and bad faith negotiation isn't just prioritized, it's the only effective way to operate. Being a huge piece of shit to everybody around you and tearing them down like crabs in a bucket isn't just a viable strategy, it's actually the only viable strategy once Drama reached a certain size. It's all just a bunch of assholes circlejerking over how bad all the other assholes are, because it's impossible to do anything else short of outright genociding anybody who poses any sort of threat to Drama's security and dominance.
Look, if they don’t show up then-one day in the distant future-a Brooklyn trust fundie blue-check might have to go a full week without using the word “bodega” while making the Reddit face.
Maybe it's racist or... bigoted or... jingoist or whatever of me to say but I have to assume that plenty of these families are sold on the idea by coyotes. Basically them saying "you can't survive here, you have to go to the US. Look how good they have it over there. Your children will thrive! You want that don't you!?"
So like some of the immigrants are just using kids as media shields to get into the US but plenty of them are just families that got told shit was way less severe than it currently is while the coyote runs off with some sucker bucks.
I think the situation just kinda sucks for everyone at the border. But sure, let's let the people who are currently comfortably asleep in their beds wake up, furrow the most worried brow they can muster and continue to make no progress en la mañana.
Steve Huffman: Compensation, well... A few steps down the road what I would like to do is when I say empower communities, I think there’s an extreme version of that, which is where we bring economics into this. Allowing communities to have business models. And hopefully you can use your imagination there, but I think there’s a lot they can do and that would open the door to communities having money and potentially moderators having a share of that. So I think we’re pretty far off, but that’s one of my, kind of, fantasies, that we can elevate communities to such a degree that people can actually run a business or earn a living on Reddit.

Is it really a genocide if you can prevent it by not showing up

That might as well be genocide, you racist fuck.

Coyotes, unlike jannies, do not do it for free.

We force them with all the great Mexican food we have here. It's a Mexican Honeypot up here.
