This meme kind of sums up a lot of my Reddit experience and why I left.
Not because people shouldn’t question themselves or accept they might be wrong. That is healthy. The problem is how often that idea gets turned into a performance.
A lot of Reddit now feels less like people having a conversation and more like people trying to prove they are the only enlightened person in the room. Every joke gets dissected. Every casual comment becomes a debate. Every disagreement gets reframed as “you just didn’t understand,” “you’re emotional,” or “you need to question your beliefs.”
It stops being curiosity and becomes status-seeking and ultimatly boring as fuck. Been so nice to have actual convosations where if I have my view challenged and changed it's not a huge reaction.
It's not Reddit. I know quite a few people who seem to think anyone will agree with them if they just explain it properly.
Because it is entirely impossible for someone to disagree with them, so if you don't hold the same opinion, it's because you don't understand things well enough.
This is intrinsic to idealist thinking. Liberals literally think history is a struggle of ideas and the most correct ones will win if everyone just sits down and thinks about it.
They would! Unfortunately, that's not how humans work. Why sit down and think about it when you can just take the other guy's stuff?
And if you're not good at thinking, how are you supposed to know when the guy you're sitting down with isn't just bullshitting you?
The liberal would probably say something like "the social contract prevents this kind of behavior, enlightenment thinking, etc." The materialist would point out that behavior is exactly what society is organized around, because we have mutually exclusive class interests with the people doing the taking.
Yeah, sometimes you just gotta kill those who disagree.
You're emotional
