One night over drinks a friend was listing which conspiracies he believed in and I stopped to ask if he found it convenient that ALL of the conspiracies he believed were ALSO the ones that supported his already-established worldview and he thought for a bit and said "I think it just means I'm right" - ThreadSky

I've been around a normie for two weeks and he's said "democrats do the same thing" so many times to shut down any critical thinking.

And I acknowledge that neoliberalism is trash but for the most part they adhere to the rule of law

I had to re-read that poster like five times because i kept reading it as "There is no way back. He won all seven swing states." I don't know what's wrong with my brain today.

If you came to believe something that contradicted your current worldview, wouldn't it make sense for your worldview to change to fit the new information?

Point well taken. While it is hard to believe people would vote for such cruelty, they did. Perhaps they didn't think this would blow back on them, but it is hitting everyone.

personally i only have the worldview i have bc of the things i learned. if i learn something new i'll probably change my views accordingly. thats why the things i Do believe in match my worldview. is that... not how it should work??

Okay, but listen, I was told I wouldn't have to learn new ways to look at things or change my opinions that I formed when I was 18
