They’ll agree with absolutely anything those people say, because they believe the celebrities are their superiors: the epitome of civilized society, fashion, morality, and mental superiority.

This also occurred to me yesterday. I was surrounded by leftists at work as they fawned over Anderson Cooper. I thought to myself that Cooper and all the other news readers are nothing but celebrities. I suppose people on the right do it too to some degree. Maybe seeing Tucker show his true side made many of us see this point, that they are nothing but empty headed celebrities.

I’m sure we do it, to an extent. But, with Tucker or whoever, we liked that they said exactly how we felt. Instead of getting our views from them, we liked that they said what we were already saying. I wonder if that was maybe the whole point of their operation, just to act as our pressure valves, to angrily rant about all the injustice, so we would feel pacified, and not act on it. Anytime they said something contrary to our beliefs, we noticed right away, and were vocal about it. Like, when they would never mention pedogate, or they did the misleading stories about Biden “standing too close” to women, we were fucking pissed, because why were they trying to practically cover for him? We figured that for some reason, they weren’t allowed to go there, but assumed they knew all about it. And then, when they thought they had gained our trust, they deviated even more from our core views, that’s when we completely cut off all of it. That’s the way we pay attention and react. The left seems to follow blindly along, forever. Seems the only point of left wing msm (which is almost all of it) is pure propaganda and brainwashing, to insert views and beliefs into empty headed people, who wouldn’t know what to think, otherwise.

Yes....but also no.

I usually come up with my opinions first, then seek confirmation.

I also test my bias regularly and allow others to test it for me. If my beliefs or opinions are weak and/or without merit, they crumble under even the lightest of scrutiny. Echo chambers are not good for personal growth.
