It's funny, if you go on most political subs on Reddit, a solid 3rd or more of posts are people asking "why do our opponents dumb and not agreeing with us when we are so smart and good?" (hexbear.net)

And 90% of the replies are people going "cuz they are dumb and bad!" and maybe like three guys heavily downvoted at the bottom trying to provide an actual explanation.

Not saying we NEVER get posts like that here. But the whole practice of making posts like these weekly/daily/hourly just screams insecurity to me. I feel like us HexBear commies are all pretty aware of why our opponents don't agree with us and don't need daily session of us all collectively reminding each other.

Right, but my point is that if they believe the NAFO-tier bullshit about Russia doing a genocide, why do prominent Democrats immediately accuse people opposed to the genocide of Palestinians of being Russian shills? This is the contradiction I am assuming some liberals are noticing. No idea if they'll just set it aside or if it will drive further investigation into the contradictions of liberal politics, of course.
