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."?
If your definition of "grey" is the same as those promoted by Scott Aaronson, Less Wrong, etc. I'd suggest that you are falling into the trap of Naive Materialism. Humans are ideological beings and you're likely not engaging properly with the interplay of how material conditions lead to ideological formation and in turn lead back to progress on material reality.
But is that my definition?
Idk, is it? Sorry if this isn’t your intention, but you’re coming across as very
Sigh Why can't I ever read what comes off well to people? Am I that bad with people?
It's just that to Leftists that have been tech-optimist adjacent "grey-tribe" and "grey-thinker" immediately ring alarm bells.
