reddit's a fat group of retards acting like they have some form of intellect
usually its the people who try to act smart that end up being retarded
I've been on reddit for 13 years I can confirm
...again most liberals nowadays are either low iq sheep or 600 iq elites that have a vendetta against freedom
I think it's worse than that
you have kids that are leaving a 17-year marxist brainwashing program to enter the workforce in leftist cities
consuming a steady diet of fake news CNN and the NYT
spending much of their time online unwittingly conversing in fake communities with bots and russian propagandists
thinking they're right but never questioning their ideas
the scary thing about this type of large-scale brainwashing is it is effective on almost everyone
I'm currently in california, and the way I've seen it happen is that it's a ripple effect here
it's a from father to son kind of thing.
Majority of the friends I've made here are hard core socialists, and ones that don't share that thinking are outright exempt from social interaction.
The one time I ended up in a political discussion with them, and they started talking about how socialism was rightous, the first thing I said was "are we talking about socialism or nazism?"
Then one of them pointed out that I urged people to vote trump in 2016, and then everyone started yelling some shit that's been debunked time and time again
"Parties flipped," "Republicans supported hitler"
etc etc etc
After the yelling match was over, which I stayed silent in
one of them decided to DM me an angry essay
which I responded and completely flipped her world upside down
the nazis are a great example of socialism and how socialists in academia have effectively rewritten the history books
thing is, while I was in the call it was nearly impossible to get a word in since someone would start yelling, or since we were in a discord call, I outright got muted sometimes
yes well the problem with entering a debate with fake and low information news is that you will always lose against someone informed
The part that is bad isn't that they are ignorant or misinformed
It's that they believe even considering an idea that isn't ingrained into them is a crime
And react strongly with emotion and hatred
The guys I was in a call with immediately went to personal attacks
at my intelligence, and siting a source that I consider laughable
I can talk calmly with people about all kinds of shit, but people that fling insults from a difference of opinion is nuts
Mhm, worst part is the one that was flinging the attacks personally knew me
Those people I rather not talk to about politics, because they are man-children
And it is a waste of effort
the devil was cast out of heaven for his arrogance and pride
I do feel bad for them, because they genuinely believe its the right thing
"Hell is full of good meanings, but heaven is full of good works"
I treat a lot of people with respect, but I find it hard to respect people that get emotional easily
@krakmonkey what made you think it's the parents teaching socialism?
I'm trying to learn to be patient with them though
@armitage I grew up in california, and a certain ex-friend of mine shares all his political beliefs with his father.
That wasn't a coincidence either, because during his birthday party his father shared his political beliefs with us and why they're right and just
