Data is Beautiful

I feel like people consistently forget just how much of bubbles both we and them exist in - we see those videos because they are extremely optimal content for engagement on the left.

And they see only positive, propagandistic coverage of what's happening, and the dumbest caricatures of us and the people they disagree with possible.

That is the nature of how the bubbles we exist in shape our perception. Like you can scroll through a million top posts on r/ tumblr in action or kotaku in action and think that every liberal or leftist that exists is dumb as a brick and never makes any good points. We can scroll through a million posts of trump voters who are realizing what he's doing actually hurts them but that doesn't mean they're reprentative of the whole.

There are lots of those cases available because of the law of large numbers, and schadenfreude means those posts will always do super well and then people will try to post more of them
