gotten into that super Bernie bro attitude you see on reddit.

Stock ownership immoral. Real estate ownership (other than what you live in) immoral. Gendered restrooms immoral if no neutral restrooms exists. Making more than 100k immoral. Wont vote for Biden. Working more than 40h a week ever immoral. Wont stop harping on capitalism. White men are lesser people.

Just super liberal in the way republicans mock liberals for being. Like people on both sides seems to be polarizing to clichs. Probs just the internet making things like this more common. Ive been noticing some of my opinions morph slowly through the years to some of the subreddits I visit, so Im more or less surrounding myself with different media to change my opinions in different ways.

A few. Many was the wrong word, but like 3-5 friends which is a decent chunk of my friends still in grad school. I mean, friends influence each other so once one guy believes it will also influence you a bit. One guy mentions it on Facebook, others express their support for the ideas.

I never actually thought the attitude was real that I was seeing on reddit until Ive seen some friends starting to have it.

Kinda how I've always seen it, both sides have plenty of nonsensical extremes which is why the only right place is the middle. (And academia has generally always been able to detach itself from reality, which is one reason why it's more prone to extremes.)
