you realize they are a circlejerk subreddit? The people who post in /r/MURICA don't actually want to invade Norway for oil, the people in PCMR don't actually want to commit genocide against console and mobile gamers.
It's not a particularly amusing joke but its still a joke.

The difference is that when /r/MURICA jokes about invading Norway for oil they don't actually send in a group of people with guns in an attempt to invade Norway. When SRS jokes about destroying reddit they actually attempt to do so by disrupting the community. Their attempt fails, because they are a minority in comparison to the amount of users that disagree with them, but they try nonetheless.

That's what I was thinking. I used to regularly lurk and look around in SRS and they often just made satire in the comments about the post, like it was all a joke. But usually I couldn't tell if they were being serious about stuff or not. But like when they say "Burn burn reddit to the ground" or other stuff like that in the comments, it becomes clear they're joking. Still though, are they serious about wanting reddit to destroy itself? Is that what they want to ultimately see happen?
