Just thinking of the communist Rick and Morty that Striker and Enoch debated last night. They honestly believed:
- The EU is pro Nazi
- Fascism is authoritarian capitalism
- There is no such thing as a biological male
- The alt-right is cop worship and Pinochet memes

- Communist China was formed organically by workers taking up arms and is an anti racist state
I rail on the right wing echo chambers a lot but the left is probably far worse. The benefit of the dissident right is people in it

constantly have to defend their worldview from every possible attack, from bogus science on race denial, to economic arguments to being accused of being morally reprehensible and advocating for genocidal beliefs. People in this space are thus forced to become competent in arguing
over science, economics, history, political and moral philosophy. Radlibs and leftists never have to go on the defensive to such an extent that every category they use is deconstructed. The point of their spaces thus seems more to come up with the most novel victim narrative
rather than hash out the most coherent positions through dialectic, like in the dissident right. Since the dissident right is genuinely challenging power they are held to a standard of truth insofar as only truth is capable of exposing the evils of a system based on lies.
Seeing as the left is defending power and attacking boogeymen, truth has no reason to be rewarded in their spaces. What is rewarded instead are narratives that justify their moral righteousness, which is the point of them having beliefs anyway. Therefore more conspiratorial ideas
that make their enemies seem more powerful than they are get rewarded in the long run more than empirically sound observations. Thats how you get a large community of people (many of them intelligent) honestly believing that CNN is pro Nazi, and why
as soon as they leave their echo chamber they get fucking wrecked by Nationalists
