the response that got banned was "If black people from around the world are suppose to be united all because some guy in America got killed by a cop then surely white people can do the same over the demographic changes"
On paper he makes a really great point but I have yet to see any White people actually do anything meaningful about being demographically replaced
 
The subreddit R/ PoliticalCompassMemes has been completely taken over by leftists. There was a post talking about the demographic changes in the U.K and there were a lot of leftists comments doing the typical "Who cares about who the majority of people of a country are. As long as they share our values". Also, someone was banned for responding to a comment saying "Good luck getting Germans, French, Brits, Poles, etc to unite on these demographic changes". and the response that got banned was "If black people from around the world are suppose to be united all because some black guy in America got killed by a cop then surely white people can do the same over the demographic changes" and that was enough to get the user banned.
It used to be an amazing subreddit, where you could often have incredibly reasonable political conversations with people, and the memes were very often really good. Eventually it was co-opted after a bunch of the non-PC/hive mind subs got banned or subverted.

Halfway racist political meme subs like 2westerneurope4u are one of the few places you can still have some sort of critical discussion these days.
 
I've developed a fun new game I like to call Reddit Whaling. The goal is simple: block accounts with really high karma.

At first, this just started out with me blocking really obnoxious people. True believer NPCs, obvious paid propagandists, bots, that sort of thing. You only get so many blocks per day - something like 30ish, I want to say - and you can only block 1000 people at a time total. There are more than 1000 redditors whose every word is a waste of the electrons it takes to deliver them to the internet. Probably closer to 100,000,000. So I've been saving my blocks for people I'm likely to see again. Random idiot with 50 karma unironically using the term "drumpf"? I'll never see him again. Why block him? Nolife loser screeching for 6 paragraphs to supplement his 100k+ karma? The odds of seeing them again are too high. Block.

Over time, I noticed that I was having fun with it. I'd look forward to opening someone's profile and seeing hundreds of thousands of karma. It feels good to block someone knowing they spend day in, day out on Reddit, mindlessly repeating the worst takes you've ever seen, all in the endless pursuit of karma. And now you'll never see them again. And there's nothing they can do about it.

The only real rule - aside from "one's value as a human is inversely proportional to their reddit karma" - is that you can't seek out karma whores intentionally. We all know people like gallowboob, we know they're the biggest whales of them all, but you're only allowed to harpoon them if you see them in the wild. Otherwise it's just unsportsmanlike.

I also stay out of (and in fact mute) karma whore subs like pics and politics to make it extra challenging. And because while whaling is fun, not seeing any posts from r/politics is much more fun.

I just wish I could sort blocked accounts by karma so I could admire my biggest catches, like a fisherman putting The Big One on the wall.
reading all this was extremely and utterly satisfying thank you i am having a good day now.
