My social media environment (mostly Lemmy for the last year, after I left Reddit) is very leftist. I'm finding myself floating more and more left because y'all have a point and there's not many counter-arguments in this social media environment. I sometimes wonder if that's how MAGA folks feel--floating more and more right because that's what they're surrounded by.

Of course, my floating is (naturally /s) based on reason and leftists making good memes/arguments.

Anyways, that's this morning's introspection.

Side showerthought: my convictions are based on memes. Anyone have nice, accessible resources for giving those convictions a more solid base? I'd love something like a graphic history of leftist thought (similar to Queer: A Graphic History). Something approachable but with citations. Thanks :)

If I told you [documented facts]

Those things are true, but I wouldn't go so far as to say because some claims are true that any and all claims have merit.

Also, you should reread the boy who cried wolf. The point isn't that the wolf is real, the point is people won't put up with bullshit.

Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.
