You're just like the rest
With one big difference: I "was" a conspiracy theorist. To get out of this mindset, to learn, I had to humble myself. I had to acknowledge my biases, to question my beliefs and my material interests. Not just once, but multiple times, I'm not talking about simple political values here, I'm talking about accepting a complete lack of knowledge in multiple fields, that can hurt people. To be wise is to fight within first.
 
Case and point. Biases emerged for our survival. While they can still be beneficial in certain situations, they are detrimental in many aspects, like politics, sciences, and ethics. It's fundamental to ask ourselves, “Where did I learn that?” “Why am I supporting this?” “What do I gain from it?” "Am I really sure to understand this?" and most of all : "when is the last time I challenged my belief system ?"

Whatever dude, but i didnt deny any scientific data

Yes you did, multiple times, but I won't fall into the rabbit hole again. It's over for now.

The point is: One does not become wise by knowing, but by understanding that they do not necessarily know.

To challenge a belief is to go against our deepest pride. It hurts, so much and yet, the more you do it, the easier it gets.

He can’t fucking read, dude…he’s also not getting information from anywhere other than unvetted and unverifiable YouTube videos made by the only goons who are more delusional than him, and I’m sure none of them are telling him anything other than “DEMS BAD AND SCARY, LOOK OVER THERE WHILE DONNIE ROBS YOU BLIND AND YOU THANK HIM FOR IT” :few:
I'm not trying to be rude, funny, or condescending either. It's genuinely insane. They only care about information that validates their beliefs.

Professionally, that is called anti-intellectualism.
Casually, that is called conformation bais
Humorously, that is called flat earth pilled

Completely agree, but I definitely AM trying to be patronizing when it comes to Ravager in particular…he knows exactly what kind of reaction he deserves for this mindless bloviating, and I’m happy to oblige as often as possible :gokulaugh:

My only real issue is Rav is that he never explains or properly defends his stances. I can't remember if it was Rav, nameless or Herrera, but one of them claimed Benito Mussolini was a leftist because he was part of a socialist party. One of the first things you learn about Mussolini after like 5 minutes of research is that he abandoned the socialist party and joined the facist party, and target socialist during his regime. Insults was the counter argument to this. Just a quick example.

You can't see what you do not want to see. That's what confirmation biases are. I see something you don't. And I know this because I was seeing the world, in the past, precisely as you are seeing it right now. I since learned to open the window of possibilities.

Mussolini did have a socialist upbringing. I don't remember insulting you...care to quote the post?

You have mastered your bias, bro. :ihaha:

They can’t defend any of their beliefs because they are founded on and influenced entirely by their hatred of others, no point in pressing them for evidence because they have none to begin with. Even Herrera with his ChatGPT obsession can’t get it right because he doesn’t have the reading comprehension to realize how reality can easily contradict his opinion; even though they’re part of the crowd who started the “Facts don’t care about your feelings” movement, they sure seem to get upset when the facts don’t support or justify their feelings.

Funny you said that. I read your post explaining your political views to Zemmi. You said leftism always brought change for the better. So, all the dictatorships and genocides were good in your book? The excessive bureaucracy and taxation are also good for you, right? Millions of abortions, impunity promoted by loose legislation, uncontrolled illegal immigration, censorship of social media, crazy divorce laws, destruction of traditional values, and epidemic levels of nihilism caused by atheism are a couple of examples of the "advancements" promoted by modern-day leftism.
So, which one are you: anti-intellectual, flat-earther, or just biased? "All dictatorships are right-wing"—Uncle, 2025. At this point, you people are just gaslighting. At least put some effort into insulting others. As I said before, you (and others here) aren't much different from the likes of C4N. The CEO and Kirki incidents make it very clear what you stand for. You people are just better at hiding your hateful side. H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S!

Not at all. We can't really master our biases. They are the result of your material conditions of existence. But we can fight them and create the conditions to lower their impact and possibly make them weaker. What I mastered, on the other hand, is the art of accepting being wrong and adapting in consequence.

Very recently, I figured out I should distance myself from minarchist ideology simply because this isn't a realistic ideology for the Brazilian scenario. Brazilians simply don't want freedom. Keeping public administration's incompetence and corruption in check is the best we can hope for. Also, don't point fingers at anyone. You guys have historically been hateful towards any political opposition. The death count of Nazis and Fascists pale in comparison to what you left-wing nuts have achieved. Ahhh, ofc, all dictators are right-wing, right?:Rofl:

That's what I've been killing myself to explain. Biases are a strong thing. They completely blur the vision of one self, so Ravager defending horrible stuff, Herrera denying a genocide, Zenos denying scientific data, or the vision of majority about me.. . every of these things are based on biases and material interests. It's like a veil in front of the face. No matter how hard one try, it won't get through.
Do some soul searching. What are YOUR biases?

I have plenty. Too long to describe them all. The important thing is that I know them. I'm not afraid of them. I fight them every day and when they take me down, I look at the situation without trying to deny reality and I adapt. Also, biases are just one part of the cake, it's the same for the values, behaviors etc. For ex: I recently acknowledge the fact that I was boring. So I limit myself to 3 lines to fight that.

Okay, that is a fair response. You are not that boring. Unintentionally, you say hilarious shit from time to time.
Just starving foreign kids was wrong. Israel and Russia's lapdog, Trump, is putting American First, by starving American children, too.

Btw, we have starving children in Brazil, and the federal government spends millions every year on fancy parties. Biden wouldn't be doing shit for starving kids either, honey. Actually, commies like to kill with famine.

Whenever I speak in general, you talk specifics to claim a moral high ground. Whenever I talk specifics, you speak in general to claim a moral high ground. I was using American History as an example.

Didnt say nor imply any of that, but nice to see that you still assume to claim a moral high ground.

So, which one are you: anti-intellectual, flat-earther, or just biased? "All dictatorships are right-wing"—Uncle, 2025.
Nice strawman and ignorance. We already established that I was speaking on the standards of current day American politics which makes my statement true. You are the only one who keeps backtracking on this to make assumptions. Everyone else gets it, why cant you? We talked about authoritarianism before that as well.

At this point, you people are just gaslighting. At least put some effort into insulting others.
Nope. You are just so full of hate that you constantly misinterpret posts to claim a moral high ground.

As I said before, you (and others here) aren't much different from the likes of C4N. The CEO and Kirki incidents make it very clear what you stand for. You people are just better at hiding your hateful side. H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S!
I blatantly said that it was a bad thing that Kirk got murdered, and that I personally cant bring myself to feel bad about Brian Thompson. You once again just continue to strawman and assume to claim a moral high ground.

I have posts like this
The left is completely pure and without fault. If a leftist commits a mass murder, someway, somehow, it would be justified because leftism.
Yet you continue to assume and simplify 24/7.
