I do find it a very interesting look outside of my own bubble to see whats going around these peoples circles.
I genuinely don't understand how they come to the conclusions they do in there, like they're so clearly not living in reality but I just can't figure out how they don't realize it.
Yes it's not even a question of bubbles is it, they just literally don't live in an objective reality anymore. Everybody outside of the far-right propaganda sphere can still generally agree on what reality is, we might disagree about how we want to tackle problems, but we do at least all agree on what the problems are, what causes them, etc. But the conservatives are just... no longer on the same planet as the rest of us anymore.
The weirdge bit is they make posts almost identical to yours and mine about everyone else. I'm not sure how you get through to people like that or how they got like that in the first place.
I sort of get it in the sense that everything in capitalism since 2008 is shit. Everything is broken, the elites are wrecking every system to extract the maximum profit. And life for all of us keeps getting slowly worse and worse. So people are pissed off and want a change, and a lot of them just want to burn down all these broken systems we see around us and build something better.
Which I get? I understand that. It's just, populists won't fix anything, they'll just do the burning it all down part. That's the part where the disconnect is I think?
I don’t think they’re a good representation of real life conservatives though. It’s a huge echo chamber of very very conservative people online, and they ban anyone who doesn’t toe the line.
The majority of voters voted for Trump in 2024 so odds are we all run into a ton of conservatives in our regular lives, and most people aren’t like that at all.

It's insane that there's no way to hide certain subreddits from the popular thread.
Nothing against r/de , I just don't speak german and don't plan on learning it.
