the anonymity of the internet and the proliferation of the "hot take economy"? i see shit like this all over twitter and even here too, it's not just a liberal thing lol.
like it's a little embarrassing to be called out or corrected in person, but you can say whatever you want on the internet and no one's going to remember you're the one who doesn't know the difference between Uyghurs and Uruguayans, or how you spouted off some dumbass take without reading the article/knowing the context. and if you're somewhat famous your followers will just make excuses or ignore it. people don't get that it's ok to just not say anything sometimes
Libs are constantly jockeying to be on the right side of history so they won't apply a critical lens to the information they absorb if it's morally shocking. In this case even reading one of the articles or learning to pronounce 'Uyghur' is tantamount to being a tankie genocide denier. Just internalize and move on!
Internet socialization is mostly about repeating and internalizing what people in your in-group say and crapping on what anyone outside of it say. Learning and humility are secondary at best.
Absolutely, I mean it's really about internalizing and repeating what people in your in-group say and crapping on what anyone outside of it say. Humility and learning are secondary at best, comrade.
White cishet guys who have always been rewarded socially for saying whatever cognitive diarrhea pops into their mind.
Combine that with the internet’s “hot take machine”, :freeze-peach: brainworms, and the :cia: using :reddit-logo: as a propaganda machine… perfect conditions for chauvinism and arrogance.
Everyone has to have an opinion on something. You know how when you were a child and thought being “political” meant you were mature and intelligent? Yeah some people never grew out of that phase
Like I know I have low self-esteem, but why the hell do people have the confidence and hubris to weigh in when they literally don’t know shit?!?!

unwarranted confidence in things they know nothing about is a liberal trademark at this point
