I’m not sure what that means. I’m interested though. Is it something you can explain here or is there some topics you can’t suggest I read up on

For me, it makes much more sense to think about it all as pop culture. I’ll use America but this goes for any country.
The right leaning party represents pop culture. A dominant culture. The popular culture is American Apple pie and blue jeans with letter jackets.
The left represents everything outside the pop culture bubble. It’s a larger population as a whole, but they’re like little bubbles they all contain their own culture. Those cultures can conflict or merge and compliment each other. But they’re individually separate.
The pop culture is always feeling threatened. It needs to maintain the status quo. Every outside sub culture is trying to fight their way into the dominant culture.
So this is why the right leaning voters trend towards rejecting things like immigrants, minorities, LGQTB and often other sub groups that are not wildly accepted by the pop culture. This is also why the left leaning groups do not. They trend towards infighting about how to do things but overall they all focus efforts on taking status away from the pop culture.
When I view politics as a clash between pop culture and sub cultures, it makes so much of it make so much more sense.

100%
I actually just wrote my thoughts before I saw this comment.
I challenge anyone to go back to the articles shared here on Lemmy when AI was taken off. Compare the headlines to headlines from right wing media towards immigration. It’s uncanny how similar they are, at least to me.
They often deal with some appeal to pathos like
They will take our jobs They threaten our culture They will sexually assault children They will contribute to the rise in crime
- Comment on AI Could Be the Most Effective Tool for Dismantling Democracy Ever Invented 2 days ago:
But they have to be used.
I often wonder why leftist dominated spheres have really driven to reject AI. Given that were suppose to be more tech dominant. Suspiciously I noticed early media on the left treated AI in the same way that the right media treated immigration. I really believe there was some narrative building through media to introduce a point of contention within the left dominant spheres to reject AI and it’s usefulness

- Comment on doctors 5 days ago:
I heard Dr Mike saying the other day how we a doctor, prescription drugs suck. End of the day, they have serious risks vs benefit. But the one thing known to give you the benefit of drugs without the risk is lowering your weight. Like across the board it improves so many things. I don’t envy doctors who know what the answer is but are told they’re assholes for trying to help

They’re tired because they’re losers. Losers are tired before they start. Losers are too tired to even try. They’re losers. The left are full of losers. It sucks being on the left with people who are absolute nerds who would rather ride a bike and think benching is bad for them because they don’t want to get too buff. You all keep framing it like “don’t wrassle with pigs” “we all lose” but that is the most absurd bullshit excuse I have ever heard. There’s no finish line in anything we do, just do it. Stop making fucking excuses, make fucking content and play the game. First learn the game. Second, play the game. Stop with nonsense justifications. We’ve all been pushed into these dark recesses of the internet because of these excuses. Share content. Make content. Stop spreading defeatists nonsense like “there’s no point maaan you can’t get them to admit I’m totally right and correct in all things that I say because I’m always totally right and they never admit it no matter how hard I try to show them I’m right.” They don’t care to convince you. So stop it. Take their bullshit and shove it back in their face. The amount of content we could be making daily to show their hypocrisy is insane. I just listened to Tim Pool give the stupidest explanation for what he thinks war is. Just absurd foolish ramble where he starts going off about this definition that ends with him saying people who argue online is basically warfare. Cut, Clip, Post. Boom. Yet nobody does that. No one on the left is working. We’ve been calling them facists for decades. We’ve called them nazi’s for decades. We need to wake the fuck up and put in the work. Boost names. Share content. Create content. Do not stop until your grandmother is quoting the meme you saw on facebook that was shared from lemmy and posted to reddit from X. Everybody needs to stop acting passively.

- Comment on CEOs when an AI agent ($5/hour) can't output the work of five highly qualified human workers (250$/hour) 2 weeks ago:
The role of CEO might actually be one of the most fitting for AI. In a co-operative business model, where employees collectively own the company. An AI could serve as the neutral, data-driven decision-maker. Instead of relying on a single human executive who may be influenced by ego, bias, or personal gain, an AI could analyze performance metrics, market trends, and employee feedback to guide the company strategically. It wouldn’t replace people, but it could coordinate them efficiently, minimizing politics and maximizing long-term success. It’s not about removing humans from leadership, but rather redefining leadership as a shared, optimized process.

- Comment on Researchers secretly experimented on Reddit users with AI-generated comments 2 weeks ago:
Just in my own understanding of life. There are these political think tanks. They are staffed by your old professors professors professor. These guys make big bucks to sit around and do this stuff then figure out attack points. I really think they had this research probably 20 years ago. I figure that’s what the guys do all day. Eventually the results end up in the firm that handles Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, that guy living in the Philippines.
