Oh yeah, reddit actively tolerated The_Donald, doing everything they could to keep the sub as active as possible while "limiting" its reach to /r/all and everything else. And on top of maintaining the site traffic, Spez himself is an alt-right racist prepper who thinks he'll be a slave owner when society collapses, and likely supported half of the shit T_D got up to.... Whole site is a fucking mess all the way down to the roots.

He thinks he’ll be a slave owner? I’d never heard that before, but I’m not surprised one bit.

Yup.

Huffman has calculated that, in the event of a disaster, he would seek out some form of community: “Being around other people is a good thing. I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”

I gotta say, I thought your first comment was some kind of madly wild, baseless, bitter accusation stemming from heavy disillusionment with reddit and assumption that spez must surely represent the worst of us.

The fact that you actually have a source for that madness and interpreted that source accurately is the most mindblowing thing I've seen in a while. That really is quite an article.

You and me both chief. When I first heard it I also did a hard double take.
The affluenza class really do live in a completely different world than us. To the point where their reality sounds like absolute absurdity to us "normal people".

I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.
