My point, which doesn't seem to be connecting and that is ok, is that it seems folks posting about politics on this elf sim forum are basically giving themself dopamine hits of confirmation bias. They are expressing trained responses to trained inputs. The folks with different polarized politics respond in kind. A predictable crossfire begins. It's like a tennis match that doesn't stop but doesn't help anyone except the person who thinks they'll win the argument in that fleeting feeling of being 'right' when they hit the post button. This of course ends up looking like a trained input that will then generate the opposing sides trained input.
I don't understand why so many can't see through that.
It's informative the first few times you see the interaction if you can tease out the pattern, but overall I don't find it that informative after seeing play out again and again and again. Rather I find it as a means to figure out if a person is trapped in a particular ideology.
