Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

UnHerd? More like UnHeard cuz I ain't reading all that shit from a reactionary rag.
the article is written by a literal Marxist, refusing to read things because they're printed on a particular site is the most lib behavior ever
Even if it wasn't written by a Marxist, the analysis itself is solid and that's what matters.
Some people on the left seem to have this weird hangup where they believe that they will become morally tainted by coming into the slightest contact with something that touched a reactionary, like a germophobe not wanting to touch things other people have touched for fear of catching their diseases, but for politics.
Exactly. Good analysis comes from diverse sources, and limiting yourself to people you already agree with is a fast track to an information bubble detached from reality. There’s another benefit to exposing yourself to diverse sources as well. Engaging with ideas you disagree with forces you to test your own beliefs. When you encounter opposing views, ask yourself why you disagree. Working through that tension will expose weak points in your own thinking, and doing so sharpens your understanding going forward.
