That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that

With enough mental gymnastics and/or a complete disinterest in analyzing the way you see the world, it is absolutely possible to end up finding that sort of meme funny while also being against the right to abortion.

yeah good point, not everyone is thinking very hard about why they believe what they believe.

Lenin's Bourgeois and Proletarian Democracy

Huh, I've read some of Lenin's essays, but I didn't know about that one. Thanks for namedropping it.

The only situation in which democracy as a whole would be rejected under a Marxist program is when false consciousness is too powerful to overcome

that feels pretty instructive for the US, lol

Yeah I know who Moldbug is. I was giving him as an example of a belief that I don't agree with.

Yeah you're right. Furthermore, the graph that they show for "Did Joe Biden drop out" isn't even in absolute units, so we can't actually tell how many people are making this query. They normalize it so that the maximum is always represented by 100, but that still might only be like <1000 people.
