Not everyone can discuss without being insufferable

Take a good look at the thumbnail above. Would you say they are more conservative-leaning or liberal-leaning? If you guessed liberal-leaning, you are correct.

It’s become strange how easy it is to tell someone’s politics from how they design a thumbnail. There is a sort of style shared amongst those of the same political ideology. This is, in my experience, is easier to tell with liberals than conservatives.

There is a major problem with how politics is presented to us nowadays. Conservatives nowadays are far too comfortable just saying stuff, irrespective of how much hate and violence they can ignite with the simple order in which they articulate words. Politics for the far-right, especially in United State and the United Kingdom has not become about preserving traditional values, but it’s become a race to see how much they can lie to vulnerable people to put more money in the pockets of the upper class, by making life worse for everyone. Scapegoating immigrants instead of rennovating houses, privatising healthcare to make it more shitty for everyone who can’t afford better - these are all signs that everything is being made worse to line the pockets of the very wealthy, like Farage. They do this from any means possible, from factory-produced AI slopaganda to neo-Nazi dogwhistles.

Conservatives have more of an offline presence, but liberals have more of an online presence. The slop they output onto the TikTok and YouTube algorithms is so immense and innumerable that it’s hard to spend more than a few minutes on these platforms without seeing or hearing something mind-numbingly stupid or cringe. An example of this is a review of the Emoji Movie, seen below:

Seriously? That was the most pathetic attempt at comedy I have ever bore witness to. I am more likely to find raindrops falling alongside each other on a rainy day funnier than this. And the problem is, most liberal content creators are exactly like this. They have the same sense of humour, they have the same style of creating thumbnails, they all put too many disclaimers at the start of each video essay, they all speak and sound the same. They are all the same, and it’s annoying. I am convinced that this is all an attempt by many influencers to annoy me by producing the same type of slop over and over again.

This leads me on to my point. It is hard to bake politics into humour or entertainment in a way that feels natural. It is possible, as seen in The Dictator (2012), but most people cannot do it. It is the lack of self-awareness and self-judgement, primarily due to the amount of times they are jacked off by their fellow hivemind members, that encourages them to produce unfunny, cringe, insufferable slop. And I’ve used the word “slop” repeatedly to describe this because, it’s similar to kind of shit AI would produce. These videos don’t feel human. They feel mass-produced because of how strikingly similar they are to each other, and the amount of times that a new video of this type is produce.

A trait the liberals and conservatives share is that the modern ideologies for them have caused people to become close-minded and defensive. A criticism of their ideologies, and their behaviours, is a personal attack on them. This causes both the young and old to become severly radicalised as they are shoveled bullshit by those like-minded to them, causing a sharp divide between them.

TLDR: Modern politics is bullshit, especially American politics. Everything American and British is likely propaganda and you should approach them with skepticism.
