The perception of bias from liberal tech platforms will lead to a large group becoming “conservative” when in actuality they are just contrarian and go for the counter culture underdog side. It’s a real phenomenon. The artificial religious right in bush era constantly pushed in our faces led to liberal values completely dominating mainstream society partly because it all felt too fake and suffocating it forced average person to think and the right turned into a joke. I predict liberal values that are mainstream today will be met with the same fate. They are filled with as many fallacies if not more than the religious right and the more suffocating almost religion like feel they get when someone tries to argue against one aspect, the more people will rebel and fall into the arms of conservatives.
- bassman9000 7y agoNote you got downvoted, but not debated. Some of the liberal values will remain mainstream. Some of them will be abandoned as passing fads. I think people are not against, subconsciously, to the evolution of some of these values, but to the rate and way they're imposed onto society.
- mcphage 7y ago> when in actuality they are just contrarian and go for the counter culture underdog side I'm not sure why you think this is better. > the more people will rebel and fall into the arms of conservatives So they're not actually "conservative", but they will be? Sure. Unless of course, that already happened, and they actually are.
- 0815test 7y agoThe values you are objecting to are not "liberal" values but radically collectivizing ones. Liberals value freedom and have always done so.
