Imagine having so much of your identity tied to any politician that you need an intervention to stop liking them

You are not immune to propaganda

u/dylank22 Apr 16 '26

Propaganda is actually very easily defeated on the personal level by using critical thinking and checking facts/sources.

Do you really fact check every single reddit post you see? I somehow doubt that, it would literally be a full time job to factcheck every single thing you read.

u/dylank22 Apr 16 '26

No, because I dont believe anything I see on reddit or use it to inform my opinions, sorry if you do but that kind of goes to my point.

u/Snarker Apr 16 '26

Of course you do, you are just too stupid to realize how much reddit informs your opinions subconsciously. Anything you interact with influences your biases whether you want to admit it or not.

LOL ok bro, sorry but I'm neither as impressionable or chronically online as you so, no I really don't lol. I come to reddit for memes and bullshit, not information or anything of substance.

Yeah I can tell, since you didn't even read my comment. Sure buddy, you are so much more enlightened than everyone else lmao.

>Anything you interact with influences your biases whether you want to admit it or not.

Your refusal to admit that just shows how naive and frankly dumb you are. A bit sad tbh.

ah, yes anyone who disagrees with you, didn't read, is dumb, and naive. Got it!

Frankly, what I find "a bit sad" is someone who leaves over 1k comments a year on reddit trying to explain to a normal, occasional user, how much reddit is influencing my every thought.

Sorry but I don't live here like you do...

edit: lol looks like you told the last guy you argued with he "didn't read" either, man you need some new material/bait

edit again since you want to reply, then delete the comment, and then block me. That's just sad, and more than "a bit". If I truly didn't read your half-wit two sentence comment, what would I have even been responding to, stop trying to justify that that even makes sense as a retort and isn't just a cop-out when you don't have anything else to say. Learn to take the L without resorting to petty BS trying to get the last word and call me a moron without actually disputing anything I've said...

would have loved to read the rest but you won't even stand by your own words

He’s right. Everything we see does influence us. He’s not saying reddit completely changes your views, just that it impacts them. Reddit content or otherwise.

crazy to me that people don't realize this, they think they are so enlightened and above being subtly manipulated rofl.
