Regardless of what that community is about, a good amount of the members seem to be content with simply repeating existing talking points, making statements with nothing indicating say, maybes or showing another person's perspective. Is Reddit just full of Echochambers?
I admit, even a lot of supposedly leftist subreddits show barely anything more than black and white thinking, something that disturbs me, as a gray thinker. They seem to refuse to think of say, what would lead to someone to at first be a chud. In fact, a lot of those leftist subreddits show signs of being more liberals than leftists.
It makes me think: Am I closer to being a chud than a leftist, if I have gray thinking, which causes me to want to be informed as to why say, a non leftist would be annoyed with corporate run cultural wars? Am I wrong for being troubled by black and white thinking on supposedly leftist subreddits? Am I just projecting by thinking "I would not make so bold a statement."?
There isn't a lot of room for nuance online. Even if everyone involved is being genuine (which is usually not the case), discussions will often just turn into "I need to prove this person wrong" and not generate anything of substance.
For example, with the culture war stuff you mentioned, my first instinct on seeing a random redditor say "we should understand the chud mindset" would be that that person is probably trying to start shit and/or justify being a chud themselves. There is something to examine there, about how capital nurtures reactionary mindsets or whatever, but that is a very intricate issue for an internet forum.
Well, I sometimes wonder what would cause someone in better economic straits to develop a reactionary mindset. Mostly because I have trouble with reading people.
Their better economic straits exist because of the exploitation of others under capitalism. They understand this and support their class interests accordingly.
