The idea of being able to laugh about yourself is entirely foreign to leftists. Compare e.g. Stonetoss' portrayal of Trump and Biden to the gross and offensive Trump "caricatures" done by leftist publications.

I must emphasize, absolutely this is the case.

There's a thing called the "ideological Turing test," (I think the term was developed by Peter Boghossian, but I may be wrong) where a person is asked to argue a position that they do not agree with, such that someone who does believe in it would think you're one of them. Liberals/progressives routinely fail this dramatically. They genuinely do not have the slightest idea what anyone who disagrees with them actually thinks.

One the early moments that had me leaving the left was in 2012-2014 the big push of what is sometimes called "accountability journalism." I first noticed it on NPR. Basically, journalists decided that their job wasn't to report the facts, but to get their readers to accept the Truth™️. This meant you couldn't just let "both sides" talk, you had to let the "right" side speak, and then tell your audience what the other side's wrong opinions are (being sure to emphasize that they are wrong). You would see this reflected in Wikipedia's "Reliable Sources" and "False Balance" policies.

During COVID, this strategy was openly discussed when there was talk of a governmental "misinformation" department. They talked about implementing what was called, in propaganda studies, " inoculation" (rebranded as the only slightly less dystopian sounding "pre-bunking"). Like in an old-school attenuated live-virus vaccine, you purposely expose someone to an intentionally shitty version of an argument ("they want to build the wall because they hate brown people!"; "they think eating horse paste will protect them from COVID!"; "Trump doesn't support escalation in Ukraine because he's owned by Putin!"; etc) so that when the inoculated encounter something that sounds like the version they were exposed to, they'll respond to it as though it were the weakened version without actually interfacing with what they're hearing. " Oh, I've heard this before. This is about how you're racist." The important thing is that a distributed idea-suppression complex gives them these inoculations before they ever encounter a contrary opinion. That is the primary function of lefty social media influencers, from John Oliver to Vaush to PhilosophyTube (hell, a few years ago there were leaks from the UK government showing that Olly there was on the dole for being part of a program to design and distribute content custom-made for his particular audience to prebunk them against anti-[COVID-]vaxxers. All of BreadTube is a literal psyop with receipts).

As a result, most liberals/progressives have never actually heard an opposing viewpoint from a person who genuinely holds that viewpoint. They are the most propagandized creatures on Earth, and believe any deviance from their incredibly narrow set of allowable opinions is the product of something on a continuum between stupid and evil. They genuinely don't know how anyone else thinks.

In probably the 8th grade we had to do a short presentation attempting to persuade the class about something. The twist was that after we turned in the topics were were going to present on, we were told to argue the opposite position.

It was a good exercise and one of the few school assignments I still remember

How many excel spreadsheets do you keep for the reports you file and escalate? How many moderator code of conduct complaints do you file a year? Ever learn Python so you can process tens of thousands of ban appeals modmails to independently determine that the rate of bans issued in error in large subreddits is approximately %0.02? Did you ever spend six months hauling a sugarpost subreddit from the brink of being banned by reddit just to gauge whether the effort is worth it? Ever set up a database to collate user accounts that frequent multiple hate group subreddits? Did you know that Reddit AEO first tier drops the ball between 25% and 33% of the time?

This is exceptionally retarded even by the extremely low standards of the average reddit user.

I have no idea wtf gender this is. I'm guessing "detransed F2M"? Regardless he doesn't want to fuck you because you can't decide on a gender, honey.

I think it's one of those "I don't owe you masculinity!" trans men, since she says she usually binds still. So a woman who claims she's a man, but she's a man who likes to wear sexy women's lingerie.

In that case, exact same result: gender nonsense is relationship poison.

I'm getting my masters in CS rn and I immediately learned to never browse that subreddit because it was literally just all doomposting from lazy idiots who thought getting a bachelors in CS and nothing else would be easy money and are now distraught at the idea that they have to make themselves look competitive in a competitive market, especially in the current job market being raped by biden. Literally zero helpful information or insightful discussion.

I'm not sure how it is for other majors but generally employers want someone who is actually able to prove they can do the things they say then can do. If you have nothing on your Github, don't know VCS, never did internships, and show basically no interest in skill development or learning things beyond what you're forced to learn, you're not going to beat out the guy applying for the same job who has actual industry experience.

These people have no theory of mind whatsoever. Redditors have no idea how their opponents think and act and it shows every time they get felted. They’re completely incapable really think were all cousin fucking Neanderthals that didn’t graduate high school and can’t read more than one paragraph.

If this is their prevailing mindset from the bottom to the top, it’s no wonder the american left is struggling to win young men back.
