Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

My social media environment (mostly Lemmy for the last year, after I left Reddit) is very leftist. I'm finding myself floating more and more left because y'all have a point and there's not many counter-arguments in this social media environment. I sometimes wonder if that's how MAGA folks feel--floating more and more right because that's what they're surrounded by.

Of course, my floating is (naturally /s) based on reason and leftists making good memes/arguments.

Anyways, that's this morning's introspection.

Side showerthought: my convictions are based on memes. Anyone have nice, accessible resources for giving those convictions a more solid base? I'd love something like a graphic history of leftist thought (similar to Queer: A Graphic History). Something approachable but with citations. Thanks :)

Yeah it's the pile on mentalities that every online social media seems to get.

If you're in the "wrong" on that specific site there's rarely room for calm discussion just a pile on of abuse solidifying everyone's echo chambers
