@Jacob Yeah I don't talk politics with political minded people, there's very little point.
Honestly, I think it's healthy to listen to content that confirms your own beliefs as long as you do it in moderation. I would go insane if all I heard was liberal ideas.
But we can't stop driving it home
It's better to discuss politics with non-political people, to the extent when they are interested.
'The Muslims shouldn't be invaded by the Mongols, just as we shouldn't be invaded by Muslims' could be a good response.
Right now I'm listening to Adios America on audiobook. I basically already know everything in the book, but just hearing someone agree with me is therapeutic. I by no means live in an echo chamber. I literally take a "cultural studies" class and read more liberal media than liberals would ever read of ours. If I didn't tune into some right wing content I would explode eventually.
oh and I've already listened to the book in the past
Was Obama a better president than George W Bush?
Yes
Oosh
It's a great book. Helped turn me into the identitarian I am today. Read it when I was still a Bernie bro. @Jacob
ya it's pretty good
People say that Obama worsened race relations in this country, but I don't know if he personally had anything to do with it.
he didn't lol
It was probably more the democratization of information and organizational tools that came with the rise of the internet.
He literally just said some minor comment about Trayvon Martin that boomers freak out about
BLM would have been a thing with or without Obama
Yeah exactly.
George W Bush was way worse because he was all "people on my own side shouldn't be irrational bigots to Muslims for 9/11, Islam is a religion of peace"
Obama actually couldn't say that stuff because then people would accuse him of being anti-white and muslim lol
On the topic of echo chambers; I try to avoid these as well, even though I’m constantly ingesting far right media. Any recommendations for other material that is bearable and not just insane leftist drivel or big brained centrism?
Obama worsening race relations makes sense if you're a civic nationalist. According to civnat ideology, there's no inherent tension in multiracial societies. The default state of a multiracial society is peaceful and patriotic, it's just that politicians "create division".
@Grossly Incandescent Vox is really good
I'm completely serious
Vox has genuinely interesting analysis
The Erik Holder / Loretta Lynch DoJ and Clinton/Kerry State Department were glow in the dark globalists and deeply harmful
I actually met the cake guy
pretty good dude.
@Grossly Incandescent it's hard, but drudge is a good place to start since he links all around. he has his own biases but I think it's almost a bias towards trolling either his readers or dems, but it feels like Drudge is usually just looking to troll
I mean, you might consider Vox "insane leftist drivel", but, the articles show some pretty interesting leftist perspectives, even if I disagree with their conclusions
@Papa Pizzagate that's cool what was the occasion?
This is a good one, for example
Some faith based legal defense gala.
Alot of their issues elbow up against ours, ultimately.
Vox is also really whitepilling to read, because they always talk about how screwed the left is
Yeah I like seeing left wing perspectives, and in certain circumstances I can agree with their goals although their means of achieving them are wrong imo
oh I hate their goals most of them time
Yea I hate their goals.
I just think they have interesting analyses
What would modern left-wing politics look like if the left-wing bass actually worked against the interest of global elite’s?
