@Spatza I don't think it necessarily means that you are delusional. I'm mostly agnostic but I kind of believe in god, it's just kind of sad if we die, we just die, and nothing else. That's why I like thinking that there's a god out there and that it won't just be oblivion after I die.
Once you go there, you can never leave. You see people with yellow shirts and assume their libright. You see it in Legos, in everything. It is the most diverse subreddit by political ideologies. It influences how you live your life. If you were auth right, now you approve of monarchies. Now if you were centrist, you love grilling. It changes your life.

I'd say that the internet is the wine, because it can be refreshing in small doses and dizzying in large doses. Drink enough of it and you'll want to puke. Frying oil is messy and gross and you don't like it, but it's necessary to make a wonderful meal, like how politics needs to exist in order for a government to exist or it would be choas, every man for himself. Drink enough cooking oil and you'll also want to puke.

this hits so hard because there is such an overproduction and overconsumption of content nowadays it’s nearly impossible for a teen to even begin to form their own ideas and beliefs. It’s just a jumble of all that is forcefully being spoon fed to them.
There's a lack of easily accessible raw information and a total disregard for teaching people how to find the information that does exist. Of course, it's a given that people, especially teenagers have never been given pure information - everything has always been filtered or processed through some lens. The difference with the Internet is that people can be exposed to more of them, and that the Internet could act as a medium to communicate raw information. Sadly, it's mostly the former and barely the latter.

I don't think you understand that this whole thing is an echo chamber. He watches louder with Crowder which gets him into an echo chamber and becoming a white supremacist. Then he watches one pro trans video which leads him into a major leftist echo chamber and spills into him becoming communist and soon anarchist. The entire thing is one big echo chamber. The last scene of the ping pong screen couldn't be more accurate. He is going in one defined direction politically but one recommendation/video changes that.

@@whitezombie10 politics is nothing but a never-ending back and forth between extremes who believe that they are 100% right and every one is 100% wrong. These people then go to political streamers and RU-vidrs who regenerate their own beliefs to them, eventually, someone does a crime, and then the people who agree with the perpetrator will try to justify or excuse their crimes and the people who don't agree with the perpetrator will use it as an excuse to push their agenda.

@Marcel3416 Ah yes. In the North America we will get to power in less than 5 years. Same will probably happen in Europe and hopefully in Australia and Oceania. In South America, our faction, known as Screensaveristas, will overthrow all local governments (Pinochet, Che and Castro would be proud).

Except depending upon which answer you give you’ll be classified as conservative or liberal because those are the only two political ideologies am I right
The thing is, people will automatically try to place you into a group depending on how many of your opinions align with a certain group regardless. Which is honestly what most people do to themselves nowadays.
I was exactly like this. And I gotta say it's more of an advantage than a problem, because you know exactly where to stand and who to stand with after knowing all the profiles and motives

@some random anime bunny I believe I'm centerist because I see the value and flaws of both. Just because people from both extremes hate on me, doesn't mean it stops me from believing in my view/opinion.

People who can only see extremes do not have good intentions or are mere pawns and fools to those bad intentions from others.

Propaganda only becomes useless when you've been taught about it which is why old soviet propaganda would be easy for most people with a high school education but now propaganda has evolved and is everywhere and everyone falls for it constantly
Everything is, and always was to some minor o mayor extent, political propaganda. Everyone has thought like that in their lives, because that's what growing up looks like. The big rule of thumb that still works to this day is asking yourself "Who am I not publicly able to criticize?"

Just do it. There is no moral obligation to argue with people on the internet. The politics you see on these websites typically don't pertain much to the real world issues anyways. If you still care, get involved in local politics. At least in my state a lot of the legislative measures have to be approved by the people in an election. With enough support, the people can outright skip the state legislature and get a bill passed democratically in the initiative process. On the national stage, care more about your representatives, and place less importance on the president. The president is influential, and has gotten more so as new powers creeped into the office over time, but the real change still happens in Congress, so make sure you pick a representative who you want to represent you.
just do you man, it not bad to have a political stance, just don't be an asshole, don't think you're better than everyone else bc of your political stance and don't have hate in your heart. The internet makes it seem like everywhere you turn there's a dumbass instigating a pointless debate or saying ignorant shit, the real ones don't really care what or who you support, they care if you are good person or not.
I wish sometimes more people would reflect for a minute and come to the conclusion that their knowledge about certain topics is not deep enough to give a fact-based opinion. I feel like a lot of people forget that "I don't know" is still a perfectly acceptable answer in this day and age.
Right, had a coworker turn face on me because we had a discussion about racism. It boiled down to they’re at their first job out of school and only know about systemic racism and have yet to navigate the waters of the real world. They called me ignorant on racial issues despite the fact that I worked directly with immigrants all during covid and am their coworker that has worked a place where with inner city black youth four years to their two months.
That's why from the beginning people should not adhere to completely to a single politicial ideology treating it like a football team , specially that it divides people and leads to making silly fights , as a person who loves reading in politics a lot , and actually started at age 17 , i found out that everyone or at least most ideologies have its pros and cons , adhering to any one would be annoying , so it's best to take the best flower of every garden, and learn political ideologies not to adhere completely to any but to learn the good things from everyone until you come up with the best benefits of all of them and avoid their mistakes .
It's because they're all equally braindead Edit: to be clear I meant the extremes of political standings, not teenagers. Teenagers are just going through a confusing time.
