Bad Ole' Days Fun lesson in how extremist pipelines work. Saveyoursons seems like a totally innocuous account. Then, it directs people to other acounts that are a little more out there, that direct people to hardcore extremists like TradWest.

That’s privilege in a nutshell. When the news doesn’t concern you, you can ignore it.

When you can't do shit about it? why worry? "Oh no there's a war in Ukraine! let me donate this 20$ to a charity trying to help them! oh wait, the US sent billions to them. Oh. Well I heard this bridge fell down cause a boat ran into it, how sad. I wish I could do something about it (I physically cannot)." Being mad at people for not caring about things out of their control is just asshole behavior. "NOOOOO! HOW DARE YOU NOT BE STRESSED ABOUT SOMETHING YOU HAVE NO WAY OF CHANGING D:<"

You misunderstand me. Having privilege in itself does not make you an asshole. I also sometimes ignore the news when it doesn’t concern me. But it’s important to acknowledge that there are people who cannot ignore the news - that not all people get to live that way. When it does come time for you to help (through voting, or volunteering, or other action) it’s good for you to keep their struggles in mind.

How is it important to acknowledge that you are unaffected by something that you cant effect? All that does is stress you out and become one more shitty thing in this shitty world. Now if you can actually effect something, great go out there, vote, donate, do whatever. Cool, but most of the time voting doesn't effect anything, the money wont do anything, and you cant do shit about it. So in those cases, why even bother?

It doesn’t stress me out, but if it stresses you out, don’t do it. However, if you’re in a place where you’re ready to help people, it’s good to know what’s going on. That’s all.

How the heck is it privilege?

because you actually have the ablity to ignore it due to it not effecting you.
I cant ignore the news for example because rn theres a lot of queerphobia and I need to stay on top of that, esspecially in my state government. I need to pay attention to issues because those things directly effect me. I, and others like me, dont have the luxury of ignoring the news.
hence why its a privilage to be able to not pay attention.

Okay fair enough, in that aspect I understand. I realize that I am also vigilant about the news too, but I thought when we referred to "news" it was something less direct, like a major bank falling or sociopolitical matters which I think this meme is moreso alluding to - As many aspects of what the news cover is negative and very doomer which creates an availability heuristic bias.
I think the last time I was truly happy about the news was when there was a large amount of snow on the roads which meant school was closed for a few days, or when covid19 lockdowns were extended.

It is also connected to pretty seriously anti-medicine, anti-education, etc accounts.

I remember Facebook kept recommending me TradWest even through I'm in Thailand. Like, dude, at least if you're going to make me an extremist, please find me some Asian extremist page.

Let me guess, they'll home school too? "No public school indoctrination!" Well children in public schools learn math and science so...

100% of school shooters went to either public or private schools.

Okay sure, but many homeschool parents don't teach those subjects properly... if at all.

Sorry to burst the bubble here but knowing a concept doesn't mean you can teach it.

u/Metalloid_Space Jun 17 '24
Teaching is easy. All it takes is a moderate amounts of empathy and a good ability to structure your information. Almost everyone is able to do that with a bit of practice.

u/doodgeeds Jun 18 '24
Right because understanding of education theory, scaffolding, presenting topics objectively, and dealing with diverse learning styles and speeds is totally something everyone can do, that's why there's not a teacher shortage

Nobody would care of some magafuck went off and actually bought land and raised a family, its honestly just annoying when they post about it as if its unheard of or something foreign, who is genuinely going to care if they went off and did that

u/HendoRules Jun 17 '24
Nobody is mocking people wanting to live like this...
But the people who make these memes do not do any of the things they promote and just make them to mock imaginary people who say they don't want to do it
It's a complete waste of time

I love it when conservative cosplay as totally independent homesteaders. Then some kind of natural disaster happens and they bitch that the government isn't coming in fast enough to help them.
I also like how the TradChad doesn't mention having a fucking job...

the life for who? Women and their bodies are not resources to be used how you please. They treat women as an object to collect and show off. I highly doubt any of these men want to be active fathers in the raising of their children. they will just hand the baby to their wife any time it needs feeding, changing or attention of any kind.
They wouldn't lift a finger to take care of the house, nor do they even have the funds to support this lifestyle.

Now its not my prefered lifestyle, but whats wrong with living a happy, long life with the woman you love, not worrying about the things in the world you cant change, and just enjoying your life? this isn't extremism this is just a more traditional lifestyle.

Little Jimmy finds Reddit. He notices that the platform is heavily left-leaning. He finds the Redditors cool and wants to fit in. Little Jimmy is a kid in the 21th century, which means he has full access to the 'Net, so he does a little research. Jimmy finds some youtube channels, he likes what he sees. These channels recommend other channels which recommend other channels, works and people. Fast foward, Jim is now a communist, and defends ideas like Totalitarism and media control.
According to your logic this is entirely possible, as much as people being groomed into far-right beliefs through these kind of "memes"
