I try to explain to leftists how we right-thinking people are BOMBARDED with far-left propaganda on a daily basis. TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, everything pushes the latest far-left talking points.
I explain that we're used to hearing 'opposing' viewpoints and used to dealing with them. It is the leftists who have never even heard a right-thinking viewpoint and are shocked to discover them.
They cannot grasp this, they think it's made-up. By doing so (rejecting new ideas) they prove it, but that too is lost on them 😋
I've been perusing reddit since election night. The extent to which they are insulated from any dissenting opinions cannot be overstated. They couldn't begin to articulate a real right wing opinion because they've only seen them filtered through their media. Then something like last Tuesday happens and they can't process it. It's pathetic to witness.
It's worse than just being insulated, it's reinforced by the scoring.
Any reasonable comments on reddit are at the very bottom marked with negative votes to reinforce that 'everybody' finds it reprehensible. Even if you sort by controversial and see a few rational comments, the next level boosts the most insane hivemind reply (also controversial because the sane people are there downvoting it).
Scoring should work where each upvote is worth say 5 downvotes.
They'd need 5x more hivemind voters (since each user only gets one vote) to drown out minority views and so what would happen is you'd see retard hivemind view and then not too far below it an actual sane, factual, reasonable view.
I'm convinced that the reason they actually hid up/down totals was to purposely encourage this hivemind.
That's before the comment gets removed and the user who posted it gets banned.
