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 :)
Don't swing too far in either direction. Doing that is what creates radicals
My advice is to get news and info from all sides. If you're able to identify what the dramatics are and are able to exclude them from news you absorb, then that's where the real truth is
That's a false dichotomy. Centrism isn't inherently noble, either.
When the far right starts questioning arithmetic the way they question climate change will it be noble to doubt 2+2 = 4?
You need to think for yourself rather than expecting the correct answer to be some average of the prevailing ideas.
"How about just a little genocide"
Ironic you're telling me to think for myself
maybe if someone tells you not to think for yourself now you'll think for yourself a bit
I'll think about it
