      hear about random claim from someone in passing.

      have absolutely zero evidence to support this claim, but decide it’s now a cornerstone of my belief system.

      instead of doing something sensible like researching unbiased information to critically analyze the claim, I decide that the best course of action is to only seek out information that confirms my pre-existing belief.

      this is because my brain operates on a monkey level of logic and stubbornness. once an idea nestles itself into my grey matter, the mere thought of it being incorrect would shatter my delicate ego into a million pieces. admitting I could be wrong is a fate worse than any cognitive dissonance I might experience.

        The far-right psychos running reddit were fine with the racism, misogyny, and homophobia; including all the discussion about how this or that person should be executed. What they finally objected to was talking about shooting police.

          I thought it was hilarious that they’d bitch about Twitter censorship in the most heavily wrong-thinked community I’ve ever seen. Like, the .ml mods WISH they could be that heavy handed.
