You wake up 4 minutes before your alarm going off after having a good 9 hour sleep. You stare at the window, to see a beautiful, sunny morning as you hear the birds chirping. It’s the 1st day of school! You get out of bed excited to learn the school of reddit, where you get to make interesting discussions with people from all around the world!
You arrive as the first person in the classroom. The teacher smiles and gives you a friendly hello. You say hello back and choose your seat. Everyone eventually shows up and class has started.
“Good morning class, welcome to reddit! Let’s first go over the rules, then we move on to our first discussion!”
The rules are given, and we begin our first discussion.
“1st question. If someone is accused of committing a crime, what is the first thing we should do?” Multiple hands are shot up “Yes, you there, what do you think?”
“Beat the motherfucker up, then throw him into prison evsn though there isn’t enough evidence to support the person committing the crime?”
“Yes, that is correct! You get 1 silver star!”
You stare there in confusion on what the hell you just heard. Maybe this is some kind of sick prank that was planned way before class?
Another student speaks up. “Excuse me, but I think it would be wise to not witch hunt. Remember the boston bomber?”
The teacher replies “Silly you, we all know it doesn’t work that way, you degenerate scum cunt!”
Everyone turns to the student yelling and laughing “Murder by words!” and proceed to throw their backpacks at the student.
You are in complete shock on what just happened, before you speak, another question is asked.
“2nd question. Is the orange man bad?”
A student is chosen. “Well, I don’t think he’s the best, but he’s not that bad of a president.”
The room goes dead silent, with all the students and teacher staring at the student with anger at their eyes. Without a word spoken, 4 students stand up and begin dragging out of his desk, silencing his screams and putting him in a straight jacket. He’s then quickly defenestrated from a 3 story building. The students sit down and pretend nothing had judt happened.
You suddenly speak up and had enough. “This is a place where we’re supposed to share ideas and have civil discussions!”
The teacher turns to you and says “Oh, that is true, we are open minded and tolerant as well, just as long if it fits into our narrative abd what we like.”
You sit there powerless as nobody stands with you. The rest of the discussion gets drowned, and instead turned into a place of sharing pets, memes, and a place to discuss anout our feelings. Any kind of proper discussion gets you downvoted and insulted, while continuing the political circle jerk, begging for gold and upvotes, and insulting those who are controversial.
