I deleted Reddit from my home screen when the mods did the fake strike and I've mostly kept off of it since then, but in the past few weeks I've opened it out of boredom and holy God is it just a truly awful place. My only explanation is that it's a window into the psyche of the American middle class email job worker and they're so fucking brain rotten that it hurts to even look at.
I thought I was misremembering or that 
was just a good meme, but that site really does represent the absolute worst of American liberalism. I don't even have anything specific to say, I just need to scrape out the festering mass that a 15 minute scroll session there created in my brain.
Yeah, I come from the area and it was a breath of fresh air seeing people mocking the everday situation here, where there is just a shitton of xenophobia baked into the culture. Or at least that’s how I saw that subreddit. It made it easier to cope with dealing with the everday casual xenophobia.
But yeah I understand that it’s a lot at the same time and that it isn’t for everyone. Honestly it’s probably for the best that it went down do people that didn’t go on there for the irony, but took it seriously don’t have a large platform like r/2balkan4you for their antics.
