        We should encourage free and critical thinking instead of just repeating an echo chamber. If you can’t tolerate that, you are as intolerant as your worst enemies.

            Saying 1+1=3 is not critical thinking, it’s being a dumbass. Just like all those “doing your own researching” antivaxers. However, doing your own research really is good. That’s how you develop critical thinking skills. Without them, you are just a sheep. https://youtu.be/nD6hS8WV3ic?si=tTZZV2PzS5q6wpDn

            There is a big difference between 1+1=3 and questioning bullshit from your politicians. If you can’t see that then you are already a useful idiot

      Then you either have a very small bubble, or don’t identify some because they happen to have agreed with you on some particular issues.

      My boss is one who identifies as a “moderate” and gets offended when people call him right wing or Republican. Yet, on 9/10 issues he sides with the conservative stance. We’ve correctly deduced that he actually is a conservative and votes for conservative candidates in every election, but he doesn’t like being confronted about his association with extremist viewpoints in a blue state so he claims he is just a centrist to take the heat off of himself.
