And 90% of the replies are people going “cuz they are dumb and bad!” and maybe like three guys heavily downvoted at the bottom trying to provide an actual explanation.

Not saying we NEVER get posts like that here. But the whole practice of making posts like these weekly/daily/hourly just screams insecurity to me. I feel like us HexBear commies are all pretty aware of why our opponents don’t agree with us and don’t need daily session of us all collectively reminding each other.

      I feel like we have a very solid idea of why our opponents think the way they do, and probably more understanding for conservatives and fascists than liberals have, since they view it as a moral/intellectual failing while we recognize the ideology as performing a materially useful role for the ruling class. We also have other views challenged constantly on all sides while liberals are particularly oblivious to even the possibility that they are wrong since it is the generally accepted ideology, seemingly only challenged by those brain dead, no-good Republicans

        I assume most of us were not only raised by our opponents, but also grew up feeling alone in communities composed entirely of our opponents.
