I can’t wait for the internet to crash and burn. It started out as a niche hobby for dorks, and it’s heading back that way
It’s a liberal thing because liberals are fully grown diaper babies with no real political knowledge and get all of their opinions from liberal comment sections or CNN.
So, yes it’s a maturity problem but part of it is that liberals are all immature.
The ones that aren’t end up becoming socialists. Or they become neoliberals because they’re genuinely evil pieces of shit.

And chuds aren’t? There’s a weird tendency to blame libs and libs alone for things that conservatives also do in spades.

This is another version of “no reasonable person can possibly disagree with me,” which is exactly what “who hurt you,” “OK Boris,” and calling people bots is. Plenty of libs are mature and have thought out their opinions – they just have far different priors than we do, and/or have strong material incentives to believe what they believe.
liberalism is the dominant ideology so it makes sense that we spend the most energy trying to dispel their wrong and contradictory beliefs. most people aren’t ideological fascists.
priors
lmao.
libs aren’t mature people with well thought out opinions. they are people who hold contradictory and wrong opinions and lack the critical tools necessary to examine and break down and develop those beliefs. they uncritically think their beliefs are Right and Good because that’s what they are told by the dominant ideology. but they can learn. that’s why we focus on them. it’s fair to say lots of libs are “close to getting it” they just need an injection of dialectical materialism.

Some certainly are. Shit, some conservatives are, too. “Everyone would agree with all of my correct, true opinions if they grew up and read what I read” is not a good take, even if maturity and education do help.
Plenty of people know how their bread is buttered and consciously support it. Writing off virtually all non-leftists as immature or uneducated is a serious mistake – other groups can make smart (for them) decisions, too.
