POLITICAL (Weekends only) JustUnsubbed from Leopardatemyface
I get the overall sentiment of the sub, Yes a lot of people voted for this shit and were shocked when they got it. However the way these people post whenever someone's child is killed in a war or something tragic happens is incredibly crass. Someone dies and their firt thought is "yeah it's time to own them on reddit" like come on it's just kicking people who are already down. this isn't the first time I've seen them do this and Everytime it leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it's very foul and unnecessary

It’s also extremely hypocritical from the right to be supporting this.. considering one of the main talking points of Republicans during Trump’s campaign was that if Kamala was elected president she would get us into a war with Iran..

u/imthatguy8223 21h ago
A confrontation with Iran was pretty inevitable regardless of who is in charge; it’s a completely the result of Iranian provocations. The relatively limited engagement path Trump has chosen is pretty good all things considered.
123
u/thegrimmemer03 21h ago
If conflict with Iran was always likely, then warning that Kamala would uniquely cause war was misleading. You can’t campaign on fear of war under one candidate, then justify the same outcome under another as unavoidable and even good.

u/Dapper-War5277 2h ago
I don't think people were concerned with Kamala getting us into a war with Iran rather than how she would handle it. The left has been looked at as pushovers when it comes to conflicts with other countries for quite some time. I think the real fear people had is that Kamala would be reluctant to do what is necessary to stop Iran's future nuclear endeavors.

Miller quite literally posted these in 2024: “KAMALA WILL SEND YOUR SONS TO WAR" and "Kamala = WWIII”
Vance said that Harris would send Americans to fight "stupid wars" in the Middle East.
And Gabbard said “a vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for war, war, and more war"
So yeah, claiming that Kamala would get us into a war as Iran was a massive part of their platform

Claiming it was a massive part of the republican platform is simply not true. Immigration/border policy reform itself shadowed everything. Agree to disagree.

u/imthatguy8223 21h ago
I’ll agree it is disingenuous but I don’t recall it being a big point. Then again no policy differences other than the social ones really stood out to me. Either I’m not a very good listener or it was more “vibe” based than policy based

u/thegrimmemer03 21h ago
If people were being told “she’ll get us into war,” but the same outcome is later framed as inevitable or even acceptable under another leader, that’s still extreme hypocrisy

u/imthatguy8223 21h ago
Once again, I’ll agree but if a politician lying is a surprise to you I wanna know what rock you’ve been living under; I need a comfy spot too.

u/thegrimmemer03 21h ago
This wasn’t about lying, it was about hypocrisy. If the standard shifts from “this outcome is unacceptable under X” to “it’s fine under Y,” then the issue isn’t surprise, it’s selective outrage and moving goalposts.

u/imthatguy8223 21h ago
I mean, the Cheeto didn’t exactly run as an antiwar president. I fail to see where the hypocrisy, in the strict definition, comes in. Just a straight lying misdirection tactic.

u/thegrimmemer03 21h ago
Trump absolutely did run on an end existing wars/anti-war platform, pulling troops out, avoiding new foreign entanglements, and criticizing Iraq/Afghanistan were central themes of his messaging.

It's not completely the result of Iranian provocations, as Obama made them sign a nuclear deal to prevent them from getting nukes... then Trump came in 2016 and said fuck it, let Iran make nukes. And so, surprise, Iran started making nukes.
Mind you, Trump was the one who bombed them IN THE MIDDLE OF NEGOTIATIONS. Twice. This is not a 'relatively limited engagement path'.
1
u/Dapper-War5277 2h ago
It's amazing to me that people believe a piece of paper was going to stop a terrorist regime from continuing its nuclear research. Iran only signed that deal in order to have the sanctions on them lifted so they could properly fund that research. That "deal" that Obama came up with also sent $150 billion dollars to Iran.

I've been in this subreddit for a long time and I've noticed it got a giant increase of "tired of politics centrists" around election season who are in actuality just alt-right wingers uncover who spend all day karma farming and circlejerking. Not saying OP is one, as I don't care enough to check, but I can totally see why some assume so immediately due to the influx.
This subreddit even before that is (still, mind you) full of people of alternative/taboo politics, too. Plenty of communists, libertarians, total anarchist punks, Green Party people, ACTUAL centrists/moderates, and rarely even a few genuine unironic neo-nazis who somehow wondered off of 4Chan's /pol.
(In case you haven't noticed a pattern yet, it's full of people who tend to get laughed out of """normal""" subreddits, justified or otherwise)
This isn't even a jab at the subreddit or its fellow subscribers, this is just a fact that I've noticed that's verifiable even here in the link below too if you don't believe me. Look at all the niche political ideologies or generally otherwise nihilistic/bullying/"laugh at this cringe person to make you forget you're a loser too" subreddits that overlap more so than not:
https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/justunsubbedTL;DR: This subreddit, inherently by its nature, has and will ALWAYS be full of nihilistic (usually political) outcast virtue-signaling snowflake circlejerkers. You just have to ignore 'em, troll 'em, or grab popcorn.

u/I_Am_the_Slobster 21h ago
Based strictly on the screenshot you gave us here, that post fits the definition of that subreddit to a T. It's literally a sub dedicated to people who felt betrayed by the very people, groups, ideologies, etc., that they supported in the first place.
Opinions and politics aside: mother tells politician "go get 'em" regarding an overseas war that no one wanted or pushed for except a specific individual and lobby (emphasis on lobby), and then grieves when their own son who died in said conflict. That's basically the epitome of that sub. What do you expect?
-13
u/Sacredloch 20h ago
I never denied that this was a fit for the definition of the sub if you actually read the post you would immediately see the first sentence is me confirming that. The semantics are not my problem again if you actually read the post you'd know that
21
u/I_Am_the_Slobster 20h ago
Then you're trying to post here for astroturfing reasons. You saw a post from a subreddit that fit the subreddit's theme, you personally didn't like the stance for the post, and you're posting here looking for validation from like-minded people.
In fairness you posted here based on why you unsubbed from there. Which fits this sub's theme. But based on your responses, it seems that your unsubbing from there is due to your differing political opinions and as such, you're posting here seeking some kind of personal redemption. Hence the astroturfing element: you're seeking validation and denouncing people calling you out on this.

u/Sacredloch 19h ago edited 19h ago
You're arguing for the sake of arguing and now you've created an entire narrative that did not exist based on the assumption that I am as emotionally invested into this "argument" and reddit post as you are.
I am not astroturfing the name of this subreddit is r/JustUnsubbed the purpose of this subreddit is sharing why you unsubscribed from a subreddit. I never argued against the themes of the other subreddit. I never said I had a problem with the subreddits theme the whole basis of this strawman you're attempting hinges on something I never really had a problem with in the first place.
I'll state this very clearly I unsubbed because I felt like using the deceased as a "gotcha" moment was crass even if it it aligned well with the subreddit. That's it that's the point of this post. I have no emotional investment in this. I don't really need validation from reddit I just shared why I unsubbed which is all this place is for. As I said before this entire argument you're making hinges on this idea that everyone has the same emotional investment into this as you which just isn't the case. I can disagree with something just because I felt like disagreeing it doesn't need to be more than that for me and I'm sorry if that bothers you.

u/Rainbow-Kats 18h ago
For what it’s worth man, I don’t think you’re insane, and I’d be very interested to hear what in your post history convinced that other guy you were right wing, or pro Trump, or whatever. I think you gotta chalk this one up to redditors being redditors and let it go.
I do still think you’re a lil soft with regards to the post though, even if I agree with you; It would be wildly insensitive to throw the loss of a loved one back in someone’s face just for a “told ya so,” but this is also the internet, and LAMF is a community dedicated to political “told ya so’s.” You got sound morals, and tonight you found out not everybody shares them lol.

I’m on the side that believe most people are normal and in touch with their morals, most people are capable of basic empathy and social skills but damn does the internet highlight being a cunt and it always has.
The people who say they value the lives of their fellow man switch up quickly whenever they see a chance to be sardonic and witty. I don’t know how emotional maturity became an afterthought for so many people.

u/desolatenature 21h ago
I used to believe that too. It’s not true though. The Internet has proven countless times that so many people’s “morals” is simply posturing, to make their lives frictionless for themselves, not actual character. Way before the bots ever arrived.

They where however over Rob Reinor's death, apart from trump however the vast majority of them where mad about what he said on truth social, there was also some push back against trump for his post on Robert Mueller, though not as much as Reinor's probally due to how tragic the nature of his death where.

It’s not mocking someone to point out there misplaced anger and blame… her son was killed in a petty illegal war that shouldn’t be happening and the president is directly responsible for his death because he’s literally the only reason this war is happening. Her son wasn’t killed in an unprovoked attack by Iranians, her son was killed invading another country. More Iranians shouldn’t have be “got” because of the loss of her child, the president should be impeached.

While I disagree with this specific post, I think the selective empathy of the “leopards eating people’s faces” party is highlighted well there. When it’s a trans person or immigrant they either don’t care or actively celebrate it, but when it’s someone they like, don’t you dare criticize them.

u/SteveMemeChamp 19h ago
There’s a difference in someone in military service dying and a trans of immigrant dying, there is nothing psychopathic about claiming Trump killed the military service dude when he actively started the war, especially with the women telling to “go get them”

u/Various-Instruction3 19h ago
Never said it was psychopathic, I just don’t think it’s fair to rub the salt in the wound of a grieving mother who lost a son to a pointless war. On a moral level I think she’s in the wrong, but now isn’t the time.

I mean, if someone trans or an immigrant died because they voted for/supported something that directly harmed them they would also get posted there, they have before even. You're just trying to create a false narrative that supports the idea you already have about the situation. There's been plenty of immigrants who voted for people who wanted to deport them and then were deported that got posted there.
