Basically, a test to see if someone only knows conformist ideas or if they're capable of seeing alternative perspectives?

To add onto this, some people aren't just conformist, they're retarded on top of that. I have a coworker who would be best described as "NPC-lite." He will believe most things unquestioningly. That includes when I push back on his occasional NPC-like remarks, we will often discuss and he will admit he isn't super knowledgeable and that what I'm saying is probably more close to the truth
And then a couple weeks later the same topic will come up and he will spout the same NPC talking point that we had already came to a mutual understanding were BS. He will just completely forget entire conversations. That's just a specific example, but I've had similar experiences with multiple people. It's like they don't even have the baseline mental capacity required to be non-conformist.
One of my friend's wives tried to understand the "Lets Go Brandon" meme when it was mildly brushed against (Somebody on a show had the name Brandon). Her conclusion was "I thought they were against censorship, it's ironic they can't just say fuck biden".
It's frustrating when so much of the time it isnt even just them disagreeing with us on fundamental issues, it's just them being blatantly retarded. Not being able to understand that that has nothing to do with the type of censorship that is normally discussed in the political arena means you are so retarded you don't deserve to be able to vote.
Funny that you say that though, because I literally just responded to someone on plebbit 5 minutes ago who said I'm advocating against free speech for saying it's a net positive if twitter collapses because it was a leftist cesspool before.
