okay poll because i get very split answers to this irl vs on the internet

do you ONLY hang out with people of the same political affiliation as you by choice?

absolutely

no but i don’t really have a choice…

me and my friends don’t talk politics

i’d say we agree on most things

my friend groups are pretty evenly mixed

no, most of my friends don’t share my political affiliation

Voting ended onMay 23

depending on circumstance and environment people’s choices will vary. it’s a really interesting debate regardless and i’m curious to see what the results of this poll are.

Why internet debate-lord content is garbage and actively harmful

A recent example: I was watching a clip of two people debating a historical topic which is widely discussed in the secondary literature. Entire articles and books have been written about it, and instead of actually engaging with the topic seriously, one of them literally goes to the wikipedia page for it and starts reading it. The other person has never heard of the topic, so they can do nothing but try to deflect. So this was considered an EPIC WIN AND TAKEDOWN for the wiki reader. Is this serious? Is this how you obtain knowledge? Is this how you effect actual political understanding in people?
