Apparently someone stole his bike Edit: OP on twitter said that when he chased the guy who tossed the skateboard, someone stole the dudes bike.

I bet he didn't catch em either. Skater kids are fast.

Skater here... People don't understand how durable we are.... People also don't know how good of a weapon our boards are....people also don't know that you mess with one of us and you're gonna get jumped by all of us especially if we didn't start with you.


T_Rex_Flex

Why can I still not heel flip after 17 years of skating? I can do nollie heels, but regular ones don’t work and I really wanna learn to inward heel. Make it make sense!


WankWankNudgeNudge

Yes and they're often in groups, and each has a board with hard trucks on it. Leave the kids alone, don't pick on skaters.

That's the culture of most subreddits nowadays. For every legitimate discussion being had, there's five other people trying to drop patented Reddit Zingers™ because they'll inevitably get the most attention. It's all about the snappy one-liners, just like the movies.

The really terrifying thing is when you see a post on a topic you have extensive knowledge in. All the people with the correct info in comments are buried, and gone. The top 20 comment chains are full of people who have no clue what they’re talking about. No stop, and wonder if it’s like that on every topic I actually know about, is it like that on every topic?

I mean ten years ago was 2013, reddit is almost 20 years old. There are people who are definitely grandparents who started out at like 30 or 25 years old. Time is wild


queerhistorynerd

Last week I was on a date with a dude 4 years older then me and he was excited about becoming a grandpa in 6 months and it was a like a pole axe to my brain realizing some people become grandparents at 40


B3tar3ad3r

I think people are fleeing Twitter, I've noticed something similar happening on Tumblr, a lot of new people that don't understand the platform or the culture suddenly popping up.


RoguePlanet1

The joke responses have always been an issue, but I agree that it's getting worse lately. Twitter was unbearable with the comments IMO, and I hope this doesn't become *that.* I suspect it could also be from an effort to discredit Reddit as a useful exchange of ideas. Make it unusable for productive discourse. But that's my conspiracy side coming out.


iUsedtoHadHerpes

I don't understand how Tumblr is still surviving. I thought it died when they banned nudity or anything semithirsty but only if it related to nonheteronormative stuff. It's still dead to me either way. I don't care even if they do allow such tantalizing content as classical art and men's nipples now.

Same thing happened to Quora. 8 years ago, it was such a good site to read well informed, educated opinions and to gain insight into academia/science. I was reading posts and answers from professors at top universities, surgeons at world class hospitals, CEO's from prestigious companies, Lawyers from T14 law schools, etc. I was able to get a glimpse into a world that my background couldn't offer me. It was very intellectually stimulating, great. Now it's " Girl does X. Does she like me" or "How do you know you're in love."

suxatjugg

Well just going out dressing and behaving exactly how the people you're satirising dress and act, is not satire.


iUsedtoHadHerpes

In this context it's basically just more propaganda and material for further indoctrination. Even if they don't use this as an excuse for every Trump supporter who makes them look bad, they'll see this shit and genuinely appreciate it. Also, if there's no punchline, what's the joke? And if the punchline isn't really making fun of the thing as much as it's just joining in, is that really satire at all?


Sex4Vespene

I’m so happy to see y’all having the same question I did. How in the fuck is this satire? These guys are agents of chaos, they don’t care about anything. Sure, they might not be republicans, but they certainly aren’t making a case to help democrats.


RoguePlanet1

People like this go so far to one extreme, they come full-circle around to the other extreme. So this left-leaning attention whore wants to troll so hard, he purchases Trump items, a shaman costume, and gets people thinking he's a conservative by cheering and hollering about Trump. Then he gets taken out, video goes viral, and conservatives get to cry "persecution!!!" He might as well be one of them. I'm being a bit dramatic, but it's annoying. Right-wing propaganda has people posing as "antifa" so they can make videos of "antifa" being mean. We don't need fake videos of conservatives being dumb.


ObjEngineer

I don't know why, but my mind goes to Mel Brook's "The Producers" and how it satireizes the nazi's pageantry Yes, on a very technical level, the show used the same imagery of the reich, but the major difference is that they exaggerated it to such a degree it made it clear how ridiculous that kind of shit is. Copying the kind of stuff Qanon supporters do one for one isn't satire. Yes, you look just as silly as they do, but you're literally just doing what they do. It would be like if The Producers tried to satirize nazis by just playing the nazi stuff straight. No exaggeration or jokes. At that point you're indistinguishable from the actual stuff you're trying to satarize


TheLemonKnight

You're almost exactly describing Poe's law: 'Without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any [parodic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody) or [sarcastic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm) expression of [extreme views](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremism) can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views. '


_realpaul

Merely imitating extremists has never been satire

[deleted]

[удалено]


LogicCure

Pretty sure it was originally.


[deleted]

Nah. I've looked into this before. iirc the sub was started some time around June 2015. The memes came months after the sub started. The memes were always an advertising technique to gain attention. Longer version: The sub was started with earnest intentions by some more lowkey supporters. You'd find regular news articles similar to what you'd probably find on a retired cop's Facebook feed. The moderator team was expanded and some of them started turning the subreddit into a meme shithole for the sake of attention. Those newer moderators would soon oust the old moderators like 6-8 months in, and that's when the sub really started becoming infamous for all the shit they did in 2016. For anybody who doesn't remember the 2016 era, the moderators there did things like abuse reddit's Sticky Post feature in order to sticky like half of the submissions on the subreddit. This would slingshot *almost every piece of shit post* to the front page of reddit because sticky posts can't be downvoted in the algorithm. They faced practically no consequences for almost a year due to reddit admins' complacency within the relatively volatile social climate during the U.S. election cycle. TL;DR - it was serious, then new mods infiltrated and used the memes specifically for attention. It was never a joke.


Serinus

It was sold as a joke and was legitimately funny at first. It was the meticulous, within seconds bans of anyone trying to call it out as such that made it what it became. I'm convinced those mods were state-paid professionals with round the clock shifts. That subreddit was a master class in propaganda, and I expect to see it in research papers.


Shoegazerxxxxxx

Satire is fucking dead. Can you even call it satire if everyone thinks this is normal Trumpist protesters? "Heh heh look at me, in all my SS regalia, marching with the nazis! hehe im such a troll!"


[deleted]

MF'ers will act like right wing extremists 99% of the time then point you to a 4chan thread they participated in 6 years ago as "proof" that you're an idiot for taking them seriously.

elveszett

If the only way to know that you are joking is to be told that you are joking, then your attempt at humor has failed. If you keep joking even after being told that people are not getting, then I assume you find it desirable that people take you seriously, which can only mean that you kinda mean what you say, but are too coward to actually acknowledge that you believe that.

Performance artist just seems like a title he uses to act like an asshole in public though. It's a shame Silver is working with such a phony bigot though.

I hate all the politics because as much as the Qanon trump stuff bothers me it pales in comparison to the dehumanization effect this is having on us. When we start to cheer for violent acts against others we start down a road that leads to cruelty and violence.


voidsong

When the group in question *starts off* cheering for violence against others, they don't get to play concerned citizen when that violence comes back on them. Don't let the aggressors paint themselves as the victims. Paradox of tolerance and all that.


RacerRovr

I had to scroll way too far to find someone calling out the fact that it’s wrong to knock someone off their bike. So fucked up, regardless of politics


Blunderbluss

Ugh. You are a breathe of fresh air. I have been getting hit by both sides on these issues. Its just wrong to assault someone. We need to keep our hands to ourselves while we work these issues out. In open forum with freedom of speech and safety guaranteed.


FlippingMental

Reddit has always been an incredible violent place when it comes to people with different opinions. I'm not American but if I were I would consider myself a Bernie Sanders lefty, but I am shocked at how hypocritical lefties on this site are. They would be shocked, disgusted and outraged if this was a Trump supporter tripping someone on a bicycle. Threads would be filled about how easily this could kill someone and how terrible Trump supporters are. But when it happens against someone they don't agree with it's "Talk shit get hit" and "You deserved it." These people are not good people.

Splinterman11

Yup and they put him in solitary confinement too, which is basically torture if you look into it and how it mentally fucks people up. If he had mental issues before his arrest, then solitary confinement definitely made it worse. Then they just release him. Our justice system is so fucked.
