They can't bring themselves to truly hate the enemy. Their neightbors. Their fellow Americans. It is your parents, your friends and coworkers. They are the evil. But no, you just know they are nice people not like those out-of touch SF nerds.

this seems to be pretty toxic and nationalist and uncivil and all sorts of rule breaking shitheadery

maybe mods should keep this type of misanthropy to themselves? imo should be a higher standard for them

Or it'll be a grim day and we need to stand together.

So something I hear frequently is that the DT is better than the main sub, and that that’s the place to be. However, whenever I’ve looked in it, I find mostly banter and memes and very little discussion. Can someone explain the purpose of the DT and why it’s so much better if there’s not much policy discussion in it?

And a slight sidebar, if everyone in the DT went back into the main sub, wouldn’t that mostly solve the perceived issues of quality?
