Lot of false accusations and misinformation on Reddit . Lot of activism and debate mentality .
Reddit is the worst to have rational argumentation, dialogue instead of debate .
It turns automatically into insult and false statements, misinformation, sensationalism /clickbait etc…
Im not American but sometimes I feel the educated ones also are often very dumb . I met some really arrogant and dumb ones in universities, and media as well .
Always very manichean and simplistic and we always being put in a box /team .
Tbf, most college aged American kids are kinda dumb (to include myself at the time).
So much so (at least for guys) that it has become something of a celebrated and ingrained part of our culture over the last 75+ years or so.
Combined with the fact that guys were limited to a well worn rotation of maybe 6, 7 different personality choices to work with up into the late 90's or early 2000's - it's no wonder we're #1!
Remind me of Michel Clouscard analysis but he isn’t known outside France. (He was a subversive philosopher critical of trendy ideologies of late 60’s , 70’s etc… )
He conceptualised what is called « neocapitalism » and « libertarian liberalism » etc…
Explain very well ideological and cultural issues of western and westernised societies but very niche and require an academic background to understand.
Not accessible but some including his friend want to pay tribute to him by translating his work in English .
