A few years ago I was only semi red pilled. I have been libertarian for ten years however I was not really on the Trump train. I cared more about TV shows and tv criticism than politics. I was interested in being a TV critic.

I started to get really pissed off cause the "consensus" of TV critics started to clearly fuck up in my eyes! There were great shows being ignored and ones with clear flaws or just weren't that special that were being called one of the best shows of all time. Now you may wonder how I can say that with such certainty such art is subjective, but there is a "margin of error" I think and in my opinion they were outside of it. I knew there's no way I was that wrong and it drove me insane for years even before I really started to realize US was turning Marxist. What's more is that it became obvious to me that the entire rating of TV shows was clearly based on what I would describe as twitter groupthink. You basically had 5-10 tv critics who were the "tastemakers" and like their own friend club like twitter. The were basically the ONLY ones that mattered when it came to deciding what the rating of the best shows currently are. Then like 50 critics who always matched the "consensus" opinion that were made by those tastemakers. These surplus critics are the rough equivalent of the people who write "_____ has a racism/sexism problem" articles, all they're doing is copying what's popular opinion on twitter and they're all the same. Then r/television which is basically the r/politics, basically a bunch of people with Marxist brains who place oversized value on following the "consensus ranking" and pretty much slaves to what a handful of top tv critics told them to think. It's basically a mini version of what's happening with MSM. Instead of the NYT and WaPo you have the TV critic versions of it with the 5 or 6 most well read ones deciding everything for people. They treat those selected tv critics like Dr Fauci where you're supposed to trust the science over your own opinion. What's more is it's almost like they viewed them as the "elites" and therefore better than normal people, much like the elitism we're seeing now. And all I can say is that r/television is exactly what you'd get if you took people with r/politics psychological status and made them talk about tv shows. I once made a thread asking if there was ANY conservative posters there and of course there was 0.

I thought I'd share that since it shows what's going on right now psychologically with the left on a smaller scale. My guess is that these people originally got brainwashed on political issues and then their same MSM type obsession carried over.
