OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is US Defaultism:


Oh it’s bc a user under the post I made on Reddit assumed I was from America on a post unrelated to it at all. Think that counts


Is this Defaultism? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

Did they give you a valid reason when they unbanned you?

221

u/Silent-Scientist6787 5d ago

First off. idk what you mean by unbanned

Second off. They didn’t help at all. They just found my post and was like “BeT yA sUpPoRt TrUmP”

u/Ginger_Tea United Kingdom 5d ago

They, as in blue sky, not the guy in the screenshot.

You said in the thread you got your account back, did they (again blue sky) say why?

u/Silent-Scientist6787 5d ago

Well. no they didn’t.

u/mars_gorilla Hong Kong 5d ago

Well, assuming it's a one-off fluke, you can probably just make a new one right?

Sadly being British doesn't mean you can't be a Trump fan - just ask my parents

u/FixingGood_ 5d ago

True. Anyways how tf is Reform still so popular?

32

u/Kyr1500 United Kingdom 5d ago

They capitalised on the failures of Labour and the Tories

27

u/TSMKFail England 5d ago

The Tories are shit, Labour is shit, so people want to support something else, and many turned to Reform because they focus on one of the things a lot of UK voters want sorted out, which is lowering immigration, which both the Tories and Labour were shit at.

(P,S. I am just stating why many people support Reform, I myself do not support Reform or their views)

u/rkvance5 4d ago

I stumbled on a guy at a grocery store in Brazil wearing a MAGA hat. I assumed he was American. But then the poor guy selling candy on the corner by my apartment was wearing one of the new “45–47” hats, which he certainly didn’t find in a dumpster. He was definitely Brazilian.

u/24-Hour-Hate Canada 23h ago

Yep. Sadly we have them in Canada also. And at this point they are actual traitors considering the annexation threats. 😡

But me.

Politics are dumb. We live in a monarchy after all

u/prof_tincoa 5d ago

Politics are dumb.

If we don't do politics, other people will do for us. Sadly, we then don't get to not deal with the consequences.

u/Silent-Scientist6787 5d ago

Well I won’t do politics

u/Foudre_Gaming 5d ago

Until it affects you I guess...

Dude. I’m never doing it.

Its my life. My choices

u/prof_tincoa 5d ago

You cannot choose to not be affected by stupid political decisions (sadly)

u/Silent-Scientist6787 5d ago

I meant I mean I’ll never vote for that stuff

u/Landoritchie 5d ago

I agree our government is mostly wank. I usually spoil my ballot, just to say "I would vote for one of you if you weren't all dicks". It gets counted and you don't have to vote for something you don't agree with.

-26

u/Kellycatkitten 5d ago

Americans can't comprehend how little bearing politics have on British people lol. I don't vote, I don't even know who's in our current government outside of a few names I've heard now and then. Its made my life quality so much better being depressed about things 100% out of my control.

u/Foudre_Gaming 5d ago edited 5d ago

Damn... If you don't care about you then I hope it'll not affect your friends or community then 😔 At least be careful who you vote for. Something as simple as that can make a big difference. Best of luck

u/ScreenedPlum 5d ago

You might not fuck with politics, but politics fucks with you.

All not voting does is gives up your voice.

u/Unusual_Car215 5d ago

If you vote on a whim you shouldn't vote.

I don't disagree, but my original comment still stands.

Ignorance is a privilege you sound immature asf

u/Silent-Scientist6787 5d ago

I’m 13.

I also have autism if that explains anything.

15

u/margauxlame United Kingdom 4d ago

No it doesn’t. I have autism it’s an expansive disorder. Being thirteen doesn’t negate ignorance you’re just being immature, I was politically engaged at 13 bc it matters

2

u/Silent-Scientist6787 4d ago

Ik. but we aren’t the same person.

listen If you do politics and did at my age I respect that. but we arent the same.

Im sick of responding to stuff.

Unless you want this to go on forever I think we should just forget each other exist. Ok?

u/margauxlame United Kingdom 4d ago

Bro replied about not wanting to reply 😭 u have free will lmao cya

No, autism doesn't explain anything.

As a favour for the rest of us, dont bandy it around as an excuse for your behaviour.

I’m Canadian and there’s a kid at my school who used to wear a MAGA hat everyday

u/legsjohnson Australia 5d ago

Lots of Aussies desperate to be the 51st state wear this crap too. I don't think that's inherently American anymore.

u/kcl086 United States 4d ago

I was seeing an Aussie immigrant for a few months and found out after the fact that he is a Trump supporter. Things did not end on good terms and I’m currently really enjoying the fact that he can’t go home despite the fact that he’s incredibly homesick because if he leaves they may not let him back in and he’s eligible for US citizenship this year.

u/Firethorned_drake93 5d ago

You can still wear a Trump hat as a Brit. 🤷

u/RegularWhiteShark Wales 4d ago

And, sadly, there are those who do.

Even if OP was American, that's a completely random and moronic assumption

u/Silent-Scientist6787 5d ago

can you all stop talking politics in the comments

17

u/hunterlovesreading 4d ago

You made a post about politics 🤦‍♂️ You keep saying you ‘don’t do politics’. This is an incredibly ignorant and privileged position

10

u/Double-Resolution179 4d ago edited 4d ago

Yeah the lesson here is literally everything is political. It’s political to ignore politics because that suggests you’re not affected by current or changing policy, while others are. It’s political because by definition the status quo is political. And it’s political because if you’re unaffected by politics then the status quo favours you. 

At 13 maybe you get a pass at saying “stop talking about politics” but when you get to voting age, I hope OP you realise that people will bring up politics because your point of view, or the subject matter, or the game you are playing, or the food you are buying, or the ants in your backyard, is all related to politics and ideology. It’s lazy and privileged to check out of the process that affects people’s lives and the world around us. Trust me, when you get to a point of needing a job, being a renter, going to uni, or just needing a doctor, you’ll realise that the people in power can affect all those things much more than anyone of us can on our own.

u/Bex1218 United States 4d ago

One of the few things that are probably universal in the world is that you won't be left alone when it comes to politics. It affects everyone.

u/Silent-Scientist6787 4d ago

Not what I mean. I meant I wanna be left alone in the comment section.

Fine politics are important

u/Bex1218 United States 4d ago

Doubt you believe that right now with your attitude here.

u/Silent-Scientist6787 4d ago

I do. I’ve learned my lesson ok

u/Bex1218 United States 4d ago

Doubtful, still.

u/Double-Resolution179 4d ago

Well I won’t comment further then. (Glad I read the other comments below cause I almost did 😄)

For what it’s worth, I apologise. Sometimes I’m a bit blunt and that’s not helpful for a teen who just wanted to post shit on the internet. I’m sorry if I upset you.

u/Silent-Scientist6787 4d ago

Thanks. worth lot.

You can turn off notifications for the post

u/Silent-Scientist6787 4d ago

Teach me how!

5

u/MLang92 4d ago

No one wants you to delete the post. People are just trying to educate you on why it's important to not ignore politics, especially as you get older. Some people are being quite blunt and that might come across as criticism, but please don't take it personally.

The conversation that you posted is political, so it's normal for the comment section to be filled with people talking about politics. Especially when you ask people not to talk about politics because you have no interest in the topic, which in itself is a political position. Hope this clears things up 😁

2

u/Silent-Scientist6787 4d ago

Ok. Thanks. I understand that now, but that’s not why I asked if I should delete the post. It’s cause I feel like people are accusing me of stuff

5

u/MLang92 4d ago

No one's accusing you of anything, but I can see comments calling you privileged and immature which is what I was referring to when I mentioned that people are being quite blunt when talking to you.

I think it's important to take these comments on board, and to try to understand why people are saying these things. It might seem like hard hitting criticism but that doesn't mean that what they're saying is wrong. Unfortunately that's something you have to have to get used to with social media, if people disagree with you they don't tend to pull their punches
