Ever wonder why /r/conservative sometimes seems like /r/conspiracy and that no one seems to understand how the world works? Well part of that is that the 3rd most senior mod is only 14. (np.reddit.com)

Where does it say he's 14?

Also, I love the signature added at the bottom of everyone's comments.

[–]Shredder13* HAARP meteorologist 30 ポイント31 ポイント

Ohhhh I get it. He can be anywhere from 14-16.

[–]DL757 25 ポイント26 ポイント

If he's a freshman now that makes him either 14 or 15.

[–]Shredder13* HAARP meteorologist 20 ポイント21 ポイント

True. Though he could have been held back.

[Insert joke about this being likely, as it would explain his political stance]

Doesn't reddit not allow those under 13 to have an account? His account is 2 years old, so...

[–]my_name_isnt_clever 35 ポイント36 ポイント

That is enforced as well as the 18 age limit on porn sites.

"Why do these sites have age limits when all a horny teenager has to do is say 'yes, I am 18'?" -Dr. Gregory House M.D.

[–]Biffingston 8 ポイント9 ポイント

Covering asses.

Basically its plausible deniability.

[–]DanParker001 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Nah, my brother was never held back. You guys can keep this thread up. I'm cool with it.

[–]BenjaminJacobGrimm 35 ポイント36 ポイント

Well, golly, I'm glad we have your permission.

[–]robotevil 7 ポイント8 ポイント

I found this comment insightful. You have my permission to keep it up.

[–]robotevil 7 ポイント8 ポイント

Is this a joke? What exactly do you believe would happen if we didn't have your permission?

Generally curious.

[–]Biffingston 2 ポイント3 ポイント

I hope he's saying he thinks his brother is an idiot, too.

[–]DanParker001 10 ポイント11 ポイント

Only in politics, religion, and sports is he an idiot. He's smart elsewhere.

[–]robotevil 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I found your comment funny. You have my permission to keep it up.

[–]DanParker001 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

If I was mad about this, I'd kindly ask the mods to remove it.

[–]robotevil 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Is this something that happens often? Have you found this technique to be successful?

If I don't like a post in /r/conservative, will you take it down for me? I don't like this one: http://np.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/26spuc/steven_seagal_if_the_truth_came_out_obama_would/ because it's rediculous conspiracy nonsense quoting Steven fucking Seagal (I mean seriously) and it makes me angry.

Remove pls. Kthnx.

[–]DanParker001 2 ポイント3 ポイント

no, I'm not in it so i don't a legitimate reason to ask for a posts removal. Plus, those crazies over at /r/Conservative would ban me the moment i disagreed with them. Even though I'm the older brother of a mod.

[–]Macbeth554 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Yeah, because it is impossible to trick those age checks on Reddit, or any other websites that ask how old you are.

[–]Phred_Felps 0 ポイント1 ポイント

It's also impossible to use a name that isn't legally yours.

[–]AverageJoeAudiophile 25 ポイント26 ポイント

The better question is how he is also a mod in /r/90s when he wasn't even alive during them.

[–]SmugBlunderer1st Assistant to The Undersecretary of Shill Affairs 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Of course there's a sub for the 90's. Baby Spice fans represent

Yeah, but when Alexander the Great was "only" fourteen he had already predicted that the Zionists would one day destroy the great library in the city he had yet to found.

[–]cant_dox_me_now..[S] 112 ポイント113 ポイント

I guess it helps explain the bengazi conspiracy, people believing obama is muslim, the racism, ect.

It is just angsty teenagers in control of the subreddit's direction.

[–]rsh412 64 ポイント65 ポイント

Unfortunately, this doesn't explain those beliefs in the greater population.

[–]Occamslaser 38 ポイント39 ポイント

Groomed channels of information and exclusion of dissenting views does.

[–]andygates2323 5 ポイント6 ポイント

CONSPIRACY!

[–]Occamslaser 15 ポイント16 ポイント

It's not a conspiracy if you do it to yourself.

[–]zoicyte 3 ポイント4 ポイント

That's called masturbation

Fox News took Alex Jones' business model?

[–]Anosognosia 2 ポイント3 ポイント

More like Jim Jones societal model.

[–]Daemon_of_Mail 19 ポイント20 ポイント

Unfortunately, there are many adults, who have been adults for a while, who believe this as well.

[–]guy15s 8 ポイント9 ポイント

And none of them are actually interested in competent management of forums controlled by little kids on the NSA-bugged automated antichrist called computers. It supposes a weird dynamic where the kids control the cess pools and the adults pick up the aggregated information through the grapevine.

[–]henno13 3 ポイント4 ポイント

I was wondering what was going on with that "But most importantly, Benghazi" shite at the bottom of every comment.

Carthago delenda est

[–]zoicyte 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Also paid shills.

[–]Avakar 2 ポイント3 ポイント

That doesn't explain the median age of a fox news viewer being 65. I wanna know the average though.

[–]thepasttenseofdraw 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Well if 65 is the middle of the spread...

[–]zoicyte 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Smh...

[–]maxout2142 5 ポイント6 ポイント

As a subscriber to /r/conservative, I'm at a loss as to what's going on? What exactly is the problem?

Edit: Why am I being downvoted for asking a question? I guess I wasn't aware age was more important than political competence and voter education.

[–]thepasttenseofdraw 40 ポイント41 ポイント

People find it laughable that a sub which is about conservative political discussion is moderated by someone who has the better part of high-school left to go. He is inherently incompetent.

[–]masters1125 10 ポイント11 ポイント

Nah, his incompetence transcends age- it is just fun to feel vindicated.

[–]zoicyte 4 ポイント5 ポイント

How old are you?

[–]maxout2142 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント

21, why is that relevant?

[–]Letchworth 4 ポイント5 ポイント

The 15 year old mod literally has not yet had enough school yet. You have. You are streets ahead of that guy.

[–]Rusty5hackleford 4 ポイント5 ポイント

From his replies in this thread, I'm not sure.

[–]maxout2142 -4 ポイント-3 ポイント

You know nothing of what he reads or how intelligent this guy is. Its presumptuous to assume he isn't qualified if the community doesn't have a problem with him.

[–]Letchworth 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Age exempts a lot of substance from any first world boy's experience. It's freaking obvious that his brain isn't even fully developed, much less his cognitive ability to link cause and effect.

Edit: he's being qualified by a gaggle of equally dimwitted sycophants. There is quality, yes, but it is Buy Low and Sell High.

[–]SHADOWJACK2112 61 ポイント62 ポイント

Sadly, I am no longer allowed to post my wisdom on that sub. I made one little comment pointing out the similarities between /r/conservative and /r/forwardsfromgrandma and boom... they swung the banhammer.

[–]brahmide01 66 ポイント67 ポイント

r/forwardsfromrconservative

[–]FacehammerAltered the course of history by manipulation of reddit votes 12 ポイント13 ポイント

Amazing. The world needs to see this.

[–]damacu 5 ポイント6 ポイント

I was reading that for a good five minutes before I realized it was just a multi. Wow.

[–]__REDDITS_TOP_MIND__ 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Holy fuck, I was on page two before I realized what you did there. A++ bravo

[–]Felipe22375 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント

Just a little reddit tip! All you have to do is type the subreddit name with both slashed around the r, like so /r/. Reddit automatically links it for you, meaning for mobile users it does no default to a we browser!

/r/forwardsfromrconservative

[–]brahmide01 3 ポイント4 ポイント

It's a link to a multisub, not an actual subreddit.

[–]Felipe22375 0 ポイント1 ポイント

My bad, I had no idea.

[–]spook327 21 ポイント22 ポイント

Hell, they just banned me without giving a reason.

Though browsing /r/conservative+forwardsfromgrandma would be a not-fun game.

[–]masters1125 31 ポイント32 ポイント

They banned me yesterday for calling out /u/Chabanais for lacking class in celebrating Maya Angelou's death, even though he went bananas when people did that about Thatcher.

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if that guy was also in high school.

[–]its_the_perfect_name 16 ポイント17 ポイント

I just had a conversation (if you could call it that) with that guy earlier today - he completely forgoes even pretending to read other people's comments and just skips to the disagreement. Once you're wrong in his eyes, he's going to find a way to tell you you're wrong whether it makes any sense or not.

I also wouldn't be surprised he turns out to still be in high school...

[–]zoicyte 6 ポイント7 ポイント

To be fair most partisans on both sides do this.

[–]INSIDIOUS_ROOT_BEER 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Every body is always equally culpable. Seems like a wonderful excuse to be a bully.

[–]psirynn 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Holy shit, I didn't think even they'd stoop so low. Link?

...Welp, I'm in need of a drink. Anyone else?

[–]DanParker001 1 ポイント2 ポイント

What a maroon.

[–]Crankyshaft 3 ポイント4 ポイント

I am certain that /u/chabanais is mentally unwell.

[–]aedeos 24 ポイント25 ポイント

I got banned for complimenting Ann Coulter's dick. Oops.

She has a handsome adams apple too.

[–]anonmus 9 ポイント10 ポイント

[–]Brodivh 6 ポイント7 ポイント

/r/forwardsfromgrandma ?....why is that link purple and yet I'm not subscribed? That's some golden stuff there.

[–]foxh8er 7 ポイント8 ポイント

Actually, there's a surprising amount of overlap. I'm considering karmawhoring and just cross posting from one to the other.

The drama when /r/con members go to /r/forwardsfromgrandma expecting their images to be taken seriously is amazing.

    “Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.”

    -- Winston Churchill

    I like this quote because it angers everyone who doesn't have a sense of humour.

    [–]HildredCastaigne 110 ポイント111 ポイント

    It makes me pretty angry though I think that might have less to do with lacking a sense of humour (or humor) and more with people horrifically misquoting something that Churchill never said. The original quote was about republicans (as in "I don't like monarchies" republicans), for god's sake.

    [–]Dirtybrd 85 ポイント86 ポイント

    Often attributed to Winston Churchill ([9]). The phrase originated with Francois Guisot (1787-1874): "Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head." It was revived by French Premier Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929): "Not to be a socialist at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head."

    [–]Y3808 5 ポイント6 ポイント

    As for the subject of the OP...

    "Young republicans don't get laid"

    About 5 minutes of considering that fact should change his mind.

    [–]Letchworth 7 ポイント8 ポイント

    On the contrary. Young republicans are the reason why Grindr has been wildly successful all these years. Especially close to CPAC and R Natl Con.

    [–]DrGobKynes 30 ポイント31 ポイント

    Also the assumption that old liberals are idiots.

    TIL the Greatest Generation which lived through the Great Depression and World War II, and gave us the greatest era for the American middle class were a bunch of morons.

    [–]SmugBlunderer1st Assistant to The Undersecretary of Shill Affairs 2 ポイント3 ポイント

    That's nothing: I've read many comments (usually in /r/canada) where morons complain about how old people are ruining everything and voting for the wrong party. Something something, never trust anyone over thirty, Jack something

      When I use that quote, I just don't assign it to anybody. I find it quite amusing.

      [–]Clovis69 6 ポイント7 ポイント

      I like the version - "A liberal is someone who has been in jail, a conservative is someone who has been robbed."

      [–]15rthughes 7 ポイント8 ポイント

      How is that anger inducing to a conservative?

      [–]MaturinTheTurtle 5 ポイント6 ポイント

      A variation on that I like a lot is "A conservative is someone who's just been robbed; a liberal is someone who's just been arrested."

      [–]moose_man 1 ポイント2 ポイント

      Yeah, in no way would Churchill be complimenting a liberal at any age.
