In the past five years or so, reddit has really become a very hateful and bitter place. More than ever before are dissenting opinions met with snark and vitriol, and positive, charitable discourse has generally disappeared. I ultimately felt much better after deleting my account.
That subreddit is fine. It's documenting COVID deniers getting smacked upside the head with reality.<p>This post summarizes the spirit of the subreddit: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/psyp4w/for_those_who_say_the_hca_are_immoral_lets_see/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/comments/psyp4w/for...</a><p>The tl;tr version:<p><i>This sub Reddit is a consequence of the anger and frustration rest of us feel by repeatedly suffering because of your hatred, your ignorance, your irresponsibility, your lack of compassion and empathy and your childish defiance that you all wear like badges of honor. At least until you end up in the ICU on a ventilator, then suddenly it’s all “COVID IS NO JOKE!”and begging for Prayer Warriors.<p>All these things, as well as others too numerous to mention, have made this dark place we’re in possible and has allowed for the creation of the HCA. So, if you’re looking for someone to be outraged at, just take a look in a mirror.</i>
People who cry about others having no empathy having no empathy or those that rant about everyone being triggered little snowflakes being triggered. Its all the same really.<p>I know everyone wants to believe that the <i>other side</i> are worse than them, but they are all as bad as each other. The real problem is with how more and more people are clustering out at the extremes.
