[Boring agenda serious post] The reddit mindset will be the end of western liberal democracy. Venting my probably r-slurred thoughts here cause who cares.

I have long realized that reasoning with redditors has no purpose. No, expand that on people online in general. If you are stuck in an echo chamber long enough, you have zero problems doing the most incredible mental gymnastics. The internet will unironically be the end of western liberal democracy. We are regressing to ape like mental mindsets, our group can do nothing wrong, our group is always right, the other group is always wrong and only commit evil. Debate, compromises, talking to and understanding each other which Form the basis of our democracy are fading. Was uncle Ted a psycho? Yes. Was he despite his methods right at the end of the day? Looking at the internet probably yes.

Well anyway if you got here thanks for entertaining a Schizo. Feel free to insult me and call me paranoid in the comments, I probably deserve it.

Reddit makes it seem like everyone is an extremist. My personal agendapost theory is that the extremists on both sides are making more extremists.

That Portland university public freakout video posted here yesterday sums it up. Like the professor said, these are fringe people in society trying to limit discourse. They call people fascists but they are the ones stifling any other opinion but their own. They even broke equipment because someone was saying something they disagreed with.

I thought it was refreshing to see that only a 3-4 people were being buttholes and the class clapped when they were kicked out, but reddit makes it seem like these people are the majority creating more extremism. Reddit stifles conversation because these are the people in charge. They have no jobs, no love life, and their opinion of the world is very negative.

I think you are correct in your assessment. I easily get along,and find common ground with, people IRL that have a different opinion. These Reddit and Twitter losers are just that… social reject, anxiety-ridden, shut-in, losers. Oh, and also teenagers, but teens are supposed to be stupid.
