“The Horror Is That It Is Real!”: 38 ‘White People Twitter’ Posts That Are Sharp And Honest (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertYou know the feeling when the news won’t just stop, and at some point it all starts to feel exhausting, and repetitive. Luckily, the Internet always manages to come to the rescue.
We are talking about sarcasm, memes and those brutally honest posts that, let’s be honest, are basically why most of us spend time online anyway.
And what better place to get your daily dose of humor than the ‘White People Twitter’ subreddit, where the internet’s collective mood is on full display in real time?
Don’t worry, the screenshots posted here are less about race itself, and more about a cultural tone – witty, self-aware potshots at politicians, the rich and the privileged, as well as the absurd posts they post on Twitter (sorry, X) and BlueSky.

Education Betters Everything
Yeah, we actually believe that not only the 1% deserve a good education
Making good education hard to access means: missing talent outside more moneyed circles; the wealthy networking with other wealthy people; insular thinking from not learning about others and their issues.

Some historians call it "Hitler's Gift to the World" because all those scientists used their knowledge to help NOT GERMANY. The USA alone inherited a dozen or so physicists who worked on the Manhattan Project.
I've often wondered how many brilliant minds and imaginations we've collectively missed out on, because some people never have the opportunity or encouragement to develop in that way.
This is the investment we need...not buying stock in companies.

The double standard the Left in the USA is expected to adhere to, is obscene at this point.
Yep. Kilmeade made controversial remarks about mentally ill homeless individuals who refuse social services. He suggested "involuntary lethal injection, or something" or to "Just k**l 'em". He remains employed by Fox "news".

He's So Stupid
You are so stupid that if there was a stupid person contest you'd be second Why? Because you are stupid
Sarcasm and internet memes seem to be the most common form of humor in political content, because sometimes laughing at the chaos is the only way to make sense of it all.
Terry Hanley, Professor of Counselling Psychology at The University of Manchester, says that satirical content resonates more with people because it simplifies complex situations into something “emotionally immediate.”
“Humor lets people share opinions, frustration, or disbelief in ways that feel accessible and relatable. Online communities help people make sense of what’s happening in the world together,” he tells Bored Panda.
The Truth Of The Situation
When magas claim that "libruals" are showing no sympathy for his family, nor empathy for his "wife", I simply remind them that we are showing EXACTLY the same amount of sympathy that lil'dead charlie kirk EVER showed for the THOUSANDS of children slaughtered in the many, many...many...school shootings that he, and they simply ignored.
Plus his wife monetized his death. Imagine if Mary Todd sold photo ops with Lincolns skull

Yup
After Trump's remarks about Rob and Michelle Reiner, I'm totally fine with crude jokes about Kirk. What comes around goes around.
To Act Presidential
The current president's life, message, and legacy can be summed up in three words - "Look at ME!"
A real president wouldn't spend more time on social media than doing his job.
All Of This All The Time
Fraudster. He's currently defrauding the entire country and lining his pockets. He's also a huge failure, business failures/ bankruptcy are his forte and this time he's going to bankrupt the entire country.
Load More Replies...Let's talk about how the US State of Georgia rigged the election by fraudulently certifying 300k ballots...
And it's precisely that attitude that put Trump in office. Over 100 million people could not be bothered to vote, almost certainly many of them thought their abstinence was some sort of powerful political statement. And it was. The statement was that they were content to sit on their as$es and let other people bear the responsibility of choosing the governance of this country. It's a coward's choice.
Load More Replies...Political memes often come with their fair share of controversies, and this community is no exception.
Earlier this year, the subreddit was banned for 72 hours after some of the comments and posts angered Elon Musk.
The official notice on Reddit explained the ban was due to “a prevalence of violent content,” and added that "debate and dissent are welcome on Reddit - threats and doxing are not."
The comments in question were allegedly calling for violence against some political officials.
The controversy gained more traction after Musk had a public outburst on his own platform, X, saying that the online community broke the law.
I Remember And Knew That Wouldn't Happen Here. A Certain Party Is Choosing Party, Over Country Here
You're correct. This couldn't happen in the US. Party in power is far too corrupt, and their chosen Supreme Court has granted the president immunity from the Constitution and the laws of the land.
Load More Replies...and there is no way to get close enough physically to manifest this.

Almost 10 years on SSRI ( antidepressants) myself. Violence had nothing to do with them! I just don't want to feel down all the time.
Over 30 years here. Only violence has been against certain insects that won't stay outside. Oh, also fully vaxed. Just had a DTap because of an opossum scratch. I don't glow in the dark or forks stuck to my face.

Ever since the controversy, the community has become stricter, closely moderating comments and posts. They even pinned a PSA that reads: “Due to the recent climate in the US, reddit is interpreting these rules strictly.”
Ironically, the controversy helped more people discover the community.
And how did Reddit users react to all this drama? With plenty of jokes, sarcasm and memes, of course.
I Hate It Here
Was it the same group of judges? Or it it now okay to be racist because it's a bunch of blatantly corrupt Trump sycophants calling the shots?
Same judges. The first ruling was to make it harder for minorities to get into university. The second was to make it easier for minorities to be targeted in raids

Vance does visit countries that the Dοtսrd wants to invade for his Peace Prize.

When He’s Allowed To Cook…. This Dude Is One Of The Best!
And yet, to get a Democrat elected in 2028 , we need to listen to Republican voters, treat them like humans , and persuade them to change their minds. Bullied, despised people don't change their minds, they hunker down in their silos and resist persuasion. We must not become animals, we must stay human if we want people to believe that we are human.
I wholeheartedly agree, the problem i have encountered is reasoning and attempting to find compromise with trump voters is an act of futility. I have tried numerous times, walking away feeling generally sad for my country and like I lost a few iq points in the process. Many seem to believe that humanity should only be afforded to certain groups of people and it's not like they try to hide who they believe those people are. When the cruelty is the point and equality is a dirty word, it is incredibly difficult to have a productive political discourse.
Load More Replies...Gee, a popular governor who was the vice presidential nominee in '24 and looks to be a strong contender in '28 is suddenly being "investigated" by the government that fears his candidacy. What a coincidence. Oh, and they managed to drag in people who are both immigrants and black. That what they call a Trump Two-Fer.
Load More Replies...Imagine Having That Kind Of Time
I don't even know what happened to the Cracker Barrel logo. Nor do I care.
I've never been to a Cracker Barrel. People who get emotional about restaurants scare me.
Load More Replies...Up until that whole thing, I did not know it was a restaurant chain. I always thought it was some sort of knick-knack shop.
But even in these communities, humor can easily drift into hostility if the norms are not clear.
Following the controversy, the subreddit’s new rule states: “Do not post gifs that are or can be interpreted as being violent in nature, for example of guillotines.”
Professor Hanley says what resonates most online is not always what is most accurate — it is often what feels “emotionally satisfying” in the moment.
“When people feel confused, angry, or overwhelmed, a sharp joke can feel clarifying and relieving. But that same simplicity can also flatten nuance, reinforce existing beliefs, or reward outrage over understanding,” he adds.
That is why moderation decisions often need to tread the delicate line between user rights with community safety.
“When these ecosystems are well connected and well moderated, online communities can be a genuinely helpful part of how people cope and learn,” the professor notes.
I Wish It Were Surreal, But It Is Not Surreal. The Horror Is That It Is Real!
It is necessary for this point to be made repeatedly, until it is understood by all. No self-censoring .
The corruption is so open that you either can't believe it or your too stupid to understand it.

Expect some MAGAt with hurt feelings to deep dive you and send the FBI your way. Happened to me. Watch your lamguage. Drumpf is like Felon Muskrat, easily hurt
Load More Replies...South Park is a really rude show. And yet if you can get past the crude humor you realize it has some very honest, very accurate opinions and commentary. The creators never backed down from their political and social opinions. What a great way to reach younger people.
Yeah, South Park is a trash pizza cutter show (all edge and no point), but I really appreciate what they're doing lately.
This Is... Disheartening
The problem is they don't realize how lazy the average american is. If the civil war could be waged from a couch, oh baby it would be going on right now.
"Make America Great Again", all the while Vlad and Xi are deepfaking things and even sucking in POTUS.
At least they already achieved that the USA is pissing of their allies.
Am I the only one who is seeing the 'bots' in that picture as resembling male génitalía ?
At the same time, humor can also be used to soften the online dialogue in general. Funny content can diffuse tension and anger, something which is all too common on social media platforms.
It gives people a much-needed breather from the typical comment wars and heated debates.
“Reddit communities can offer both information and emotional support, particularly for people who may feel isolated or overwhelmed,” Professor Hanley believes.
He says these groups are part of wider ecosystems of support and learning, alongside journalism, education, professional services, and offline relationships.
Gdi The Simpsons Really Predict The Future, Don't They?
Call me what you want, but unlimited access to p0rnography for anyone is MUCH more acceptable to me than surveillance state and censorship.
Unlimited access to dangly-floppy bits and maybe it won't be such a weird taboo and people can worry about things that matter and not whether a papilla mammaria (because BP censors the usual word, proving my point...) is showing by accident.

No. That was Lenin. Stalin used the churches to promote his agenda. Drumpf, same. Church goers are stupid sheep, which explains why they fear wolves. RIP Canis Lupus
Load More Replies...Studies also show that humor mixed with politics somehow manages to grab our attention and makes all the messy, confusing political stories easier to understand.
“We often hear a lot about the downsides of being online, but these spaces are also where many people now get news, support, and a sense of connection. Used well, they can help people cope and feel understood — but they work best when paired with critical thinking and good moderation,” Professor Hanley adds.
It is no wonder then that these spaces feel more united — after all, laughter really is contagious.
Like Kirk Or Hate Him, This Is Absolutely Unacceptable!
Oh, it wasn't POLITICAL violence. It was merely someone upholding their "God-given right to own guns" - which from is a direct quote of Kirk's.
Plus the guy was one of Nick Fuentes' Goypers.
Load More Replies...Well, on the other hand, the US does have a history of assassinating political figures that anger people. Just sayin.......
Charlie Kirk was not a politician. He was a podcaster who liked to antagonize people.

I hate how Disney has a stranglehold on a significant chunk of the entertainment industry. Hell, even in my country you cannot access a lot of content legally because Disney somehow became the only ones to buy the rights to distribute it and then doesn’t renew anything so a lot of foreign shows and movies are lost here
They got the idea from the newspapers - buy the story and then bury it.

Nope. Just 'anti-turning America into a dystopian hellhole'. Many of us like America and Americans - we DON'T like criminals and narcissists ruining the lives of millions for personal gain. Unfortunately, since criminals and narcissists are in charge in America, the image of the country as a whole is suffering.
