#sorry for the rant but god I hate Cnews

[tracing-rivers]

I hate how the concept of parties and political affiliation just straight up destroys people's ability to think for themselves. "Well this person agrees with me on like two topics better follow them blindly on everything else" NO. Use your critical thinking skills, for fuck's sake. Use your values, whatever they are. A party, a TV channel, a newspaper, a blogger is not your identity, not your religion and not your law. You're supposed to pick it apart, and if you don't like it, you're supposed to change them. Not let them change you just because a blanket agreement is more convenient and less challenging.

But what am I saying. Targetting people too lazy to think on their own is the politician's mode of predation after all.
