@JadedDLC@TheWapplehouse@afycso_jp@Bruhccelati@theneedledrop And I get the derision people project towards fans that get their opinions from other people, but critical thought can be hard to establish if, say, one wasn’t encouraged to think for themselves growing up, and finds their way by looking up to what *can* be said for insight
@phosphor_glow There are so many people out there who seem to fundamentally dislike music, but feel attracted to philosophizing as to why they dislike it, and they pick a few artists to lionize so that they can explain why every other artist sucks and is fake
@rnr04816@DixiePatriot22@nkulw@JewishCurrents You know, I’ve heard leftists say the same thing about the right. Do you think there’s a reason for this polarization to the ideological extremes?
@rnr04816@DixiePatriot22@nkulw@JewishCurrents Doesn’t he regularly interface with right-wing accounts and make conservative points? It doesn’t seem like he has a lot of kinship with liberals at all
@gothicdoll22 I feel like this is just biological essentialism designed to keep the patriarchy up — “women are good at reading and feelings, men work and support us but don’t talk to us!”
