      I was stuck in that quagmire for like half a year. I remember one time I shared it with my super conservative boomer boss to see where he fell, because him and I would constantly banter about politics. He got like ten questions in and was like, "This quiz is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. All these questions are loaded, there's no way this was made objectively."

      It isn't even just that one thing. People will post here or on reddit about how their teacher had them do this kind of thing in high school. Personality tests and that sort of thing. And all that stuff is so meaningless and not at all a substitute for actual teaching about history or psychology or whatever. People get really warped understandings of the world from many different extremely oversimplified and maliciously biased questionnaire type things and models for thinking. I doubt any school in the US actually teaches about actual historical political movements with any clarity.

      It’s probably a fucking op honestly.

      American politics was actually really good until Reddit came along and ruined it.
