Stones, glass houses, etc

Anyway, it's incredibly annoying and reactionary, and the influence it seems to have on politically active people in our age group is also rather annoying.

absolutely

MSM has us split as far apart as possible. Divide and conquer. Left and right voters hater each other because of the lies and insane hype each opposing news outlet puts out. It's psychological warfare and the PTB putting out all these lies and deceptions know it.

It's well beyond fucked up. As a loving, social species we can not thrive and be happy without UNITY. It's easy to get there though; quit listening to the bullshit and start talking constructively to each other again.

I wish biden was being honest when he said he is going to unite us but I highly doubt it. He's more like a dictator (rather, the puppet masters pulling his strings and manipulating him are) than a vision of unity. Trump appeared to have a libertarian mindset but he had too much ego, drama, and bullshit which only further divided us.

I know a bunch of candidates, both R & D that could make a truly great president. I don't think the evil PTB will ever let them run or win though. :(

Leftist Twitter was co-opted by the Big Oil billionaire machine just like all our ideas and institutions were. To divide/conquer the people so that we don't automate Maslow's hierarchy of needs with the technology we have available already.

Can you give us an example of this? I don't doubt that there's a lot of reaching to get to more extreme outcomes the further left you go, but I want to know what arguments you've seen that come across to you as people trying to make 2+2 equal 5.

Its always funny when they "pick their post revolution jobs", and they say they are going to be party leaders or head state departments.

Like, you get social anxiety from going to Walmart and refuse to get a job because you are "depressed to the point of being disabled". You aint doing shit besides starving.

I can't be bothered to look up the details again, but what I've seen was the standard bullshit. Our mathematics and science standards are rooted in colonialism, imperialism, and white supremacist patriarchy. So, to say 2+2 must equal 5 is oppressive to other ways of knowing.

Think there was a relatively big thing that blew up where popular right wing figures were comparing modern sociological theory to claiming 2+2 can equal 5, and then a bunch of mathematicians and scientists essentially said, "yo dumbasses, it can"

That would just suggest to me those mathematicians and scientists probably didnt get the reference. That is to say, 2+2=5 being a statement about people being expected to believe something that is obviously contrary to reality, presumably on threat of punishment, is a George Orwell thing. And it has been used in Stalinist propaganda.

Granted, I may be generous in supposing the right wingers get the reference too.

The best part of leftist Twitter is the shitposters. There are some really quality shitposting accounts out there. For the rest, I refer to this tweet:
https://twitter.com/orgy_o_agamben/status/1363363946833526784

The amount of backlash that poster got is insane, for essentially just saying that Twitter isn't the ideal place to really learn theory.

Yeah, this is the issue with a lot of leftist/liberal causes, I find. It's an issue with "too many cooks".

Whereas conservative and right-wing movements tend to organize easier because--at least in Western countries--they tend to focus more on the issues of White people, White men in particular.

I don't understand how 2+2=5 is a complicated or controversial subject.

We choose the symbols we want to represent abstract concepts. In this case, if 2+2=5, what that would mean is just that we are saying the physical symbol for representing [o, o, o, o] items is 5. 4 would be the symbol for something else, maybe [o, o, o, o, o] in a world where we choose for an arbitrary reason to count "1, 2, 3, 5, 4" instead.

This doesn't change that math is objectively true or correct. We know it is, and we just need to figure out more math. There is no case where changing our symbols means that, say, some set (a, b, c) joined with a set (d) creates a set with fewer items than (a, b, c, d).

Well, as I see it, the thing with Conservatism is that it is about, at its most basic, maintaining the status quo. At most, perhaps trying to reverse some progressive successes.

Compared to Progressivism which seems to be about a constant pull to the left. And actual goals can change each generation. Yesteryear's progressives are today's moderates, and the moderates are today's conservatives. And, as you mention by "too many cooks", there are various interests basically competing for attention and resources.
