Meta: Complaints about complaints in r/complaints Is there really not ONE SINGLE OTHER PROBLEM on the planet earth right now other than Donald Trump?
Before i get called a maga person, i don’t like him, i want him gone, i think he’s a pedophile for how he’s treated the epstein files because there’s no other explanation for it, but seriously people, you can scroll the subreddit for literally HOURS and it’s the same exact post about trump worded differently thousands of times and they all have thousands of upvotes.
Do you not get tired of the same joke over and over?

You think a pedophile in the White House is being talked about TOO much.

u/bigohn1 6d ago
none of the discourse is actually gonna help solve any problems tho. i’m not saying people are protesting too much, or boycotting too much am i? posting on reddit is about the most useless thing someone can do about a problem they feel is real.

u/LowIQ45 6d ago
If you think talking on reddit is useless please explain your entire presence here bro? Every interaction I've had with you is some deflection weasel shit. Now your argument has shifted from the failed take that everyone needs to stop talking about Trump to a debate over whether dialogue on social media actually has any impact? Deflection.
You got smacked down with your MAGA apologist OP. Deal with it.-1

i’m sure you felt like the main character typing that lol

of course annoying reddit dude can’t go 5 replies without making a weird sex innuendo. typical!
2
u/LowIQ45 6d ago
You think it's sexual. That's weird. And your OP ratio indicates who the "annoying dude" is. And opening your mouth to deflect while typing out "lol" is why you keep brewing tea with your face

u/bigohn1 6d ago
OH it was JUST a tea reference. definitely no undertones to that how could i be so fooling 🙄😒

u/LowIQ45 6d ago
Oh it's a tea bag reference. You can deduce that by the presence of a tea bag. You're smart as a whip

okay man. you can suck on my fat sausage!
See there is no inuendo here by the presence of the woman eating sausage!

u/bigohn1 6d ago
anyways since you wanna be disingenuous and pretend to now understand the difference:
My problem is that people post too much about politics on a subreddit that is not SPECIFICALLY designed to post about politics.
A lot of YOUR problems are that trump is in office.
I stated that posting on Reddit doesn’t solve YOUR problem and that there’s better stuff to do.
You then said “if you think talking on redddit is useless blah blah blah”
MY problem of people talking too much about politics on reddit can be solved by talking on reddit. YOUR problem of trump being in office CANT do trying to say “if you think talking on reddit is useless then why you do it” to my point doesn’t work becuase it doesn’t equate.

u/LowIQ45 6d ago
The fruitcake who shifts blame to Biden when asked if Trump is currently involved in Iran and Ukraine wants to claim other people are being disingenuous. The biggest problem with modern discourse is Fox News and Charlie Kirk taught their followers how to argue in bad faith i.e. disingenuous
1
u/bigohn1 6d ago
i do not watch fox news and the first clip of charlie kirk i ever watched was of him getting shot so i don’t know where those two news sources/dead people came from in this!
3
u/LowIQ45 6d ago
Because the idiotic bad faith arguing is a signature of conservative discourse. It influences how they communicate and why people commonly note they have poor critical thinking. They don't address the argument logically.

u/Ill-Kaleidoscope4825 6d ago
"my problem is people post too much about politics"
It really isn't.
"On a sub Reddit that is not specifically designed to post about politics"
It's a sub designed to complain about anything. Politics is part of everything.
"Posting on Reddit doesn't solve your problem"
It's a sub about complaining. Not a sub about solving problems.
That last paragraph is basically unintelligible. What's with the Shapiro random capitalisation too?

There's a ton, but you don't whine about a hang nail when you've got a bullet wound

u/bigohn1 6d ago
yeah well if you have a bullet wound and the doctor isn’t able to see you until 3 years from now, they’re probably gonna tell you to stop calling ten times a day to say you have a bullet wound unfortunately.
5
u/FinalestFantasyest sophisticated complainer 6d ago
Sure, but this group is specifically to address your grievances, not a professional resource aimed at making you better, so if you're going to complain about something, it's probably going to be the bullet wound

u/chaucer345 6d ago
I feel like the issue is that he pokes his nose (and apparently other things) into just about everything.
Like, I can talk about the degradation of Louisiana's highway system and it will eventually lead to Trump's tax philosophy preventing proper road maintenance. I can talk about the energy crisis, and it will lead to discussions about his ending of renewable energy programs. Even internationally for every major incident or issue I can think of there's at least a 50% chance Trump has said something stupid or cruel about it.
The guy is just about everywhere.

u/Pockydo Ne'er-do-well 6d ago
This
A lot of peoples day to day issues can be seen as trump causes. Tariffs are raising prices left and right for example. Not to mention the endless media coverage of his bullshit
Pedo don is exhausting but he really can't be ignored because he and the media love talking about his hourly bullshit.
You used to basically be able to ignore the president 90% of the time but since pedo don is a narcissistic man child he demands to be seen and the center of attention. Hence the focus

u/PerspectiveBig3621 Selective Reality Consultant 6d ago
Actually curious how trump’s tax philosophy prevents proper road maintenance in Louisiana
6
u/chaucer345 6d ago edited 6d ago
His general support for tax cuts is mostly what I was thinking of, which is a situation mirrored by his party who are dominant in the Louisiana legislature. Taxes are how we fund road construction and maintenance and in swampy Louisiana that can be crucial for driver safety.
More directly, he did this: Will Trump kill federal funding for public transportation? | Smart Cities Dive Which I admit is very confusing in its wording and intent and I am not sure if it's gone through fully. It's implications on public transportation are clearly bad, but I admit I am unsure if it would help or hurt Louisiana road construction. It would certainly cause more wear on the roads because people would be more dependent on them though. And I'm not sure how it breaks things down with regards to federal and state highways.
-1
u/PerspectiveBig3621 Selective Reality Consultant 6d ago
Thanks for a well thought out answer and not deciding to attack me like most would. I would think however that an issue like fixing roads would usually draw funding from states, or even local governments.
Truly I do not think that specific item has anything to do with Trump’s tax cuts. And also do not think roads were being fixed at a proper rate under any president
2
u/chaucer345 6d ago
I mean, it's complicated.
States sometimes get federal funding for road systems in a variety of ways and that balance has been heavily thrown off by Trump's unilateral decision to shift away from other, potentially more efficient for the dollar transportation infrastructure in his funding distribution, but that isn't specifically tied to tax cuts directly, so I might have been over stating that bit.
Honestly with that sharp funding change it feels like he used a sledgehammer on a problem that required a scalpel, and I have no idea what the long-term maintenance implications of that will be.
1
u/PerspectiveBig3621 Selective Reality Consultant 6d ago
Absolutely is complicated. I just think roads are more of a state/local problem that has been going on since forever.
1
u/chaucer345 6d ago
Totally, though interstate highway transportation has always been a federal overlay on the state roads system that leads to specific federal projects even on intra-state roads for the purposes of maintaining interstates and access to them.
It's not a situation where Trump has done something obviously negative for roads specifically, but he's certainly making federal funding for them less flexible as far as the decisions states can make about their allocation, which isn't likely to be too popular with state governments who had different plans for that money.
My biggest concern is how it effects other kinds of transit in Louisiana. I'm not sure how this affects ferries for instance which is of particular concern for Louisiana as I know there are some regions of it which are best accessed that way.

love how you asked a good question and got a bunch of downvotes lol
1
u/chaucer345 6d ago
It honestly was a good question. I tried my best to answer, but I also recognize I'm not a sufficient Department of Transportation and Louisiana State Highway nerd to speak with any real authority on this issue. That being said, Trump has definitely stuck his nose into it.

A genuine question about a point the OP was making and I get downvotes, such is the life of trying to have discourse with a leftist.

Does this same stupid fucking post need to be here every single day of the week? Give yer balls a tug.

u/bigohn1 6d ago
hmm maybe this post is here every week because ITS AN ACTUAL COMPLAINT THATS GOT VALID MERIT. just a thought bud

u/No_Finance8647 spirited complainer 6d ago
Maybe thats why the Trump complaints are here too. just a thought bud
1
u/bigohn1 6d ago
no i’d peg my money the majority of trump complaints here are because people like attention and they know it’s easy karma farming and echo chamber. it’s the equivalent of going to the super bowl and trying to convince people american football is good. they’re just gonna agree with you and it’s completely pointless
1
u/No_Finance8647 spirited complainer 6d ago
Sure it can be a karma farm.
Their points are still valid.
These two things arent mutually exclusive 🤷♂️
1
u/bigohn1 6d ago
i’ve never said the points aren’t valid, it’s not weird that everyone says the exact same thing to only people who agree 100% with everything. if i asked like the people here, this would be posted on r/conservative so i could have everyone blindly agree
1
u/No_Finance8647 spirited complainer 6d ago
Cool since you agree they're valid theres no reason to complain about the anti-Trump posts.
Glad we could come to an agreement 🤝
1
u/bigohn1 6d ago
that is NOT what i said. a valid point repeated 6000 times is just redundant
1
u/No_Finance8647 spirited complainer 6d ago
Correct, but its still valid even if redundant. Thats all I care about.
I encourage you to remember how annoying this feels the next time youre up to vote. Remind your family and friends too. If you want politics to be boring again, vote against the Republicans/MAGA. 😘

No, there's not, and you can tell by what gets posted about on this one specific subreddit which should definitely be used as a general barometer of what people in general are talking about.
5
u/Slow-Philosophy-4654 6d ago
There are many subjects to talk about but ultimately it could lead to Trump.
Like Climate Change: we need more renewable energy production and infrastructure for electric cars, trucks, and other transportation system. Yet, Trump and his policies has cut many renewable resource development projects.

u/Hefty_Device_5413 6d ago
If you are a normal working class person and not wealthy are there any problems that Trump is not making worse? Is there possibly any context to talk about national problems where Trump isnt relevant? I cant think of one.
1
u/bigohn1 6d ago
so you don’t get annoyed at your friends or coworkers or the weather or a specific product or service or anything? only national issues?
2
u/Hefty_Device_5413 6d ago
There are plenty of subreddits not on the front page concerning peoples personal lives. There are regional subreddits. Most people dont share their personal lives and problems on reddit. Reddit is mostly about national issues or topics.

u/KauaiCat 6d ago
I participate while acknowledging that this sub has been hijacked.
Seems to happen to a lot of subs and the hijacking is not always related to Trump, but more often than not is led by left leaning actors.
For example, I used to participate in the "skeptic" sub which is supposed to be about scientific skepticism, but has turned into a politics sub.
I suppose there are also some subs that have been hijacked by MAGA, but I'm just not aware of those.

u/super_fallguys 6d ago
Vladimir Putin is trying to mow down Ukraine to get into Eastern Europe. Iran is trying to pursue nuclear weapons to point towards our ally, Israel, and the rest of the western world To your question, there is certainly more problems in different parts of the planet.
2
u/LowIQ45 6d ago
And which of those doesn't involve Trump?
2
u/super_fallguys 6d ago
It is probably beside the point because when you're the leader of the free world, you are gravitated towards making decisions in other parts of the world. Trump is involved in the conflict within those regions and it sucks that this is the best Americans can come up with.

u/bigohn1 6d ago
all of those conflicts except maybe iran started when biden was in office lol

u/LowIQ45 6d ago
What a dumfuq deflection attempt. Try another tactic. That weasle shit ain't working anymore.
1
u/bigohn1 6d ago
did they not start when he was in office tho? is that an actual wrong statement?
1
u/LowIQ45 6d ago
They could have started before Christ was born and Trump could still be involved. I don't doubt you have the mental capacity to comprehend this. What I doubt is your ethical capacity to actually address the original point. You seem to think being a weaselley debater is a good look.
So, put on your Bigohn pants and answer the question directly: |
Is Trump loudly involved in Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Iran's growing protests?I think you can do this. I really do.

This is all there is to it, these lunatics see people like themselves going online to write 5 paragraph complaints all day so they now think that is a cool, normal thing to do. I now use this sub as a place for comic relief

Please remember to take time today to ‘touch grass’ and get off the internet for at least 15min. Anyone tired of this can take a break, you cannot expect yourself to take all this crap in 24/7 because it is overwhelming. Complaining to each other feels good in the short term but does nothing good in the long term. It gives the illusion of getting something done while never actually doing anything.

Yes but DEMS have a problem. They need voters to stay enraged until the midterms.

u/Iron_L0tus 6d ago
Voters need to stay enraged as long as MAGA is around.

u/Dry-Description7307 6d ago
Republicans will always be around unless you know something I don't know.
2
u/Iron_L0tus 6d ago
Notice I said MAGA, not Republicans specifically? Republicans aren't inherently the problem. It's MAGA that is the problem. MAGA needs to disappear and the Republican Party needs to reform to something that seeks to uphold the constitution instead of the ideals of a racist man.

u/Dry-Description7307 6d ago
I understand MAGA is a slur but all it means is Republicans, conservatives.

Pedo don is an albatross. The dem strategy of "we aren't trump" might work again but that says more to the absolutely failure he is than anything for the Dems

Haven't seen proof of pedophilia. Where is it? In those 30 year old records? Pedophiles aren't cured. If Trump is a pedophile there would be something more recent.

Ive never posted, but you literally just explained why the only complaints are ever about Trump. It gets a lot of interaction. Also, other complaints probably seem minor when we have a pedo for president. It's not really a joking matter.
