In a civilized society people respect people with different opinions. And I can respect someone with a reasoned defense of their political beliefs.

But shit-posting memes? No. That's what I object to.

I agree it's not a good way to go about expressing your opinions, but let's not kid ourselves: this was a "Trump supporter" reveal, not a shit-posting reveal. Plenty of big names are out there funding and participating in shit-posting.

I'm not asking you or anyone else to kid yourself.

I'm personally pissed at Palmer Luckey for paying for shit-posting memes.

The fact that he's a supporter of Mr. Trump is his business. The fact that he's bankrolling people to troll reddit makes it MY BUSINESS, and I'm incredibly pissed off about it.

Don't spend time on reddit if you are so easily upset.

Fighting for signal to beat noise is a worthwhile way to spend your time.

And people who throw money to wreck a site that I enjoy are assholes.

And really, honestly, your argument is that only people who can dispassionately watch a site be exploited should use the site?

I disagree actually- it was a triple reveal, yes 'Trump supporter' was one, but secret finder and shitposting were arguably larger

So are you okay with the daily show?

I turn to that channel and watch that show.

Why on Earth wouldn't I be okay with The Daily Show?
