i'll start. i saw a ask reddit post saying something along the lines of "men of reddit whats something women can't understand" and the comments were just. oh my god. the main one that made me want to puke was "when dudes walk by each other and nod" and the whole fucking thread was just fedoras with arms soypogging like it was some secret language or something. "when you nod upwards, it means respect!!!!!1!!11 when you nod downwards its aggression!!!1!11!!!!!" as if women dont do the same shit.

do you guys have something similar to share?

I'll never forget the time I commented on a thread in /r/BreadTube saying simply that Abraham Lincoln was a liberal, and it quickly became my most downvoted comment of all time. There was a response that had like 300 updoots simply saying "nuclear level take" and shortly after I was banned from /r/BreadTube. To this day I still don't know what those people think Lincoln's ideology was.

Hearing the way Americans talk about Lincoln, you'd think they've got him confused with John Brown or Lenin.

"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that."

-Abraham Lincoln.
