    Yeah people do that a lot here. I remember people being disappointed in Greta because she said some lib shit a month after mentioning the word “imperialism” once. I don’t think people really get how much of an extreme minority their political position is.

    Most people don’t really think about and deliberately form their ideology as much as we do here, they just absorb disparate ideas based on their life circumstances and what kind of propaganda they’re exposed to. Even if you can coax a leftist viewpoint out of most people here and there doesn’t mean they’re anywhere close to you ideologically.

        it’s more just whiplash. i think if he was just a baseline activist lib or apolitical party guy or even just an actual libertarian live-and-let live guy it wouldn’t be as bad

        nobody was expecting a marxist leninist or ancom.
