I used to like this guy a lot back in 2015, and I think he’s got a good heart but just swimming in ideology. He wants to imagine himself perfect rational and robotic and ignores a lot of ideological assumptions, but I think he does just want to improve things
It's really sad when people have unexamined biases and aren't aware of their own ideological positions. They're never going to be able to really engage with the world, and they'll never really understand what happened when things don't conform to their presuppositions.
everyone is equally unaware of their own ideological positions and absolutely everyone is equally unable to engage with the world
:doubt:
It's like the dril "no difference between good and bad things" take mixed with the XKCD "the important thing is you found a way to feel superior to both" take.

Ignoring or denying ideology doesn't remove the ideology, it only reinforces it by way of ignorance. :zizek-fuck:
Of course, that’s my point. He’s a fish swimming in a sea of assumptions
Some "rational" people just keep swimming, while others go deeper and plunge into fascism by any number of renames or masking labels.
Can’t see this guy going fascist, he’s as squishy and humanitarian as possible. He will either flee somewhere else or just keep his head down
I agree. He'll just keep swimming in the vapid "rational" waters, as centrist as can be.

except me of course, i'm all knowing and all seeing. and normal.
Irony doesn't hide the smug that well if those kinds of takes keep getting dished out.
the takes will continue until praxis improves
For all the talk on Hexbear about how no one should go on :reddit-logo: , sometimes the :reddit-logo: comes from here.
yes
equally unaware? maybe not. unable to engage with the world? yes. what you experience is not the real, but the real filtered thru your sensorium.
So it's a grander and more academically celebrated version of huffing one's own farts, then.
i am immune to propaganda actually, guess im just built different
:wonder-who-thats-for:
hes the eternal liberal, when he dies he should have his brain scanned, so that we can analyse the liberal brain
It'd be cheaper to just buy the complete Blu-Ray collection of The West Wing.
