Politics aren’t genetic.

But they ARE communal. Where you grow decides 90% of what you believe in.

It’s actually why I disagree with the top comment chain that smarter means more left leaning. I think it’s more that left leaning communities have better education standards and lead to smarter generations. Cause and effect reversed.

I wanted to comment this on the why-google thread, but that was locked, so I’ll post it here:

"What you should be doing is converting this light complaint into an hard feature request: Let Lemmy posts include polls. I don’t doubt more would feel polls are a useful thing to have, and Lemmy is already very big on making things optional per instance and per community, so there’s an answer to those who may dislike them.

Also, give those polls some control, like, allow only users who subbed for X time, who belong to the local instance, and stuff like that."

WhitePeopleTwitter is the largest of all ragebait subs, and I’m tired of pretending it is not.
