    People with extreme views are also more vocal, so that’s what you see. That’s why social media is bad for you. If gives you a very distorted view of the world. Most people are able to look at politics with nuance.

    Social media politics is confirmation bias by design.

    A few of my opinions that are less popular here:

    • Unions are not a perfect solution.
    • landlords are not inherantly bad and it’s not a “sit back and cash in” type of job.
    • Bridled Capitalism is a better system than the comunism we’ve tried so far.

    I have no desire to debate any of those here. I talk politics with friends and in person and I try to remain skeptical especially of facts that happen to go my way.
