I try to make sense with my politics but then I remember it's imgur and the next guy is just gonna shovel over some more shit
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Oh fuck yeah, I've been criticizing the anti-Trumps due to their weird slips of logic and they think I'm a Trump supporter. Not even in USA.
CydonianCyborg
Take away the imgur signs and it'd still be true.

Americans and their silly 2 party system. WE have at least 10 different directions to get our autistic screeching from, thank you very much.
manicmalki
The only issue I have with this is my autistic son who rocks it in special Olympics make more political since then the average imgurian.

This has just been all of America. In my family, among my personal contacts and internet connections; I might kill myself.
Come to Australia, it's like theatre to us. We've even got popcorn. And koalas.
Axelord
Okay, I'll take this one. Get my argumentative-ass upvote. Slut.

Imgur really could do with longer comments, though. Multi part comments are so common, just have a "read more" button on 140 chars +

I like to analyse topics and discuss them so i find it frustrating that the characters limit on imgur doesn't allow you to offer proper anal

Arguing on imgur or Twitter is like that pic from police academy where two guys are yelling with bullhorns at each other

I'd only I had 141 characters I could say so much more
Sometimes, actually I'm used to typing much longer paragraphs and I subconsciously try to only say the most important things that need sayin

This is why I hate imgur. So many BS political and other posts flying around and can't even dispute them because 140 chars.
Sirrussel5
But can you dispute them in 140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140+140 characters? Why fucking bother.
posthuman001
Most people will just look for information that supports their initial hypothesis.
Confirmation bias. Not suggesting you don't know that, just putting it here for people that don't.
Vectorman2
That makes sense, I agree with this, going to repost this.
szepasszony
You shouldn't make fun of autistic people like that...
I have a heavily autistic brother, and I agree, but I've also accepted that it's just becoming a synonym for "retarded" for the masses.
Groznek
I guess this site gets to be unwelcoming for yet another subset of people then. That's kind of disappointed.
I agree, but let's not pretend it's solely this site. It's definitely a more widespread issue. Which is more depressing.
Ah, yeah, good point.

What is with all the autism hate?
ImObviouslyNotInYourShed
I'll see if I can find a link. It is a reference to an earlier post
TheDarkLordOfTrees
It's middle school all over again. "Ha ha! Retarded!"
msu14hockey
Because it's the trendiest way to insultingly disregard someone when you don't want to/can't discuss their opinions.
BabyGroot
I have Autism and i don't mind.
Well I do and I do
AnthonyPeterson
Seriously, I'm wondering the same thing. It's getting to the point that it's personally offensive. A part of myself is used as an insult.
joeyjojosharknado
Parts of everyone are used as insults.
Flakbadger
I think we all just find different things funny. I'm sorry that it's personally offensive to you, however.
ingelri
No hate, it's just slang for making a one-track faux pas or being socially inept
But it's used as an insult. Insults have negative connotations, so if calling someone autistic is an insult, then it's bad to be autistic.
...is IS a bad thing to be autistic. You wouldn't want to be be autistic.
I am though, and while I'm not great socially, I'm great at critical thinking. It's not like I can't function, and I'm not stupid.
Fun fact: I can poke fun at something without feeling hateful towards it. Pull the stick out of your keister and give it a try sometime.
CreamAndShit
I wonder where the expression "stick up your arse" comes from.
OhBuggerIt
Contempt, not hate. Too much experience of remaining polite in the name of tolerance sometimes means that frustration finds an outlet here.
Aren't those synonyms?

We have google at our fingertips and yet no one knows the facts

Showmeyourotters
The problem with google is you have to know what you want to know. It's wildly ineffective if you don't even KNOW what you don't even know
BronzeLeaguePro
Google filters based on your political leanings though. So reps and dems get alternative facts
I found a whole website full of lies that don't fit my narrative! Goddamn conspiracy theorists! https://ourworldindata.org/
pitbullboxershorts
That looks pretty cool. thanks.
ginastringr
Because they already have the alternative facts
It's nighttime where I am. Look outside. What colour is the sky?
Spartwo

No it isn't, it's black, it's an alternative fact.
Wait I didn't even need to finish that line of thought did I? Then again, some people don't far outside their conditioning.
