    Yet another example of reddit being a joke platform that should never be taken seriously.

  2. Kind of alarming that it increases to 21% when you look at Americans under 45. Too high but atleast still a pretty clear minority

    Also, it’s only one poll.

    But people were telling me EVERYONE thought that way based off the scientific sampling process of posts on Reddit and Twitter

    I was seeking a lot of support on TikTok for it as well, it’s good that the majority of the public isn’t on board with it though.

    This lines up pretty well with the Yougov poll on how people feel about bad things happening to public figures they don’t like, but I’ve never heard of these folks. Google doesn’t turn up much. 

    I have very little doubt that Luigi’s act of revolutionary violence is probably a lot less popular than the reddit echo chamber says, but I’d like to understand this more.

    I encourage people to open the tweet. Really fucked up that the group that took the poll tried to highlight another result that it tried to frame as young people supporting Magione. Makes me think they were hoping for a different result. Kudos to the guy that responded by pointing this result out.

    The best meme was Reddit post saying all Americans would take him like he was Ann frank for only to have him turned in by wagie old lady working at McDonalds.

    I doubt male versus female were the most important categories. The more significant ones was probably Italian versus not Italian.

  9. Neoliberal oddly proves to be accurate to the mind of the average person and not the other way around.

    Bravo, maybe Dems will listen to us instead of twitter

  10. What did shock me was the gender polls. I thought women were generally into the true crime drama thing but they are by far less supportive of the killing than men.

    But then when you consider that Reddit posters are overwhelmingly men I guess that makes sense.
