And this was after you told me how happy people in Russia were.

This is why I told you several times to move to Russia. It was to shake you out of your stupor. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 13:05, October 24, 2023 (EDT)
This is why I told you several times to move to Russia. It was to shake you out of your stupor.
Have you ever heard of [[groupthink]]?
The case for being less partisan/political and being more objective:
The abstract for the journal article [https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691617746796 At Least Bias Is Bipartisan: A Meta-Analytic Comparison of Partisan Bias in Liberals and Conservatives] which was published in the journal ''Perspectives on Psychological Science'' states:
:"Both [[liberal]]s and [[conservative]]s accuse their political opponents of partisan bias, but is there empirical evidence that one side of the political aisle is indeed more biased than the other? To address this question, we meta-analyzed the results of 51 experimental studies, involving over 18,000 participants, that examined one form of partisan bias—the tendency to evaluate otherwise identical information more favorably when it supports one’s political beliefs or allegiances than when it challenges those beliefs or allegiances. Two hypotheses based on previous literature were tested: an asymmetry hypothesis (predicting greater partisan bias in conservatives than in liberals) and a symmetry hypothesis (predicting equal levels of partisan bias in liberals and conservatives). Mean overall partisan bias was robust (r = .245), and there was strong support for the symmetry hypothesis: Liberals (r = .235) and conservatives (r = .255) showed no difference in mean levels of bias across studies. Moderator analyses reveal this pattern to be consistent across a number of different methodological variations and political topics. Implications of the current findings for the ongoing ideological symmetry debate and the role of partisan bias in scientific discourse and political conflict are discussed."<ref>[https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691617746796 Comparison of Partisan Bias in Liberals and Conservatives] by Peter H.

Arthur C. Brooks wrote in his article ''Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being'': "A 2012 survey conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University asked a sample of Americans about their news-consumption habits, and quizzed them about U.S. and international political and economic events. They found that those watching the most partisan television news sources—on both the [[leftism|left]] and the [[right-wing|right]]—were often less knowledgeable about world events than those who consumed no news at all."<ref>[https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/10/reading-too-much-political-news-bad-happiness/616651/ Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being] by Arthur C.

*[https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0963721418817755 Psychological Features of Extreme Political Ideologies]
"In this article, we examine psychological features of extreme political ideologies. In what ways are political left- and right-wing extremists similar to one another and different from moderates? We propose and review four interrelated propositions that explain adherence to extreme political ideologies from a psychological perspective. We argue that (a) psychological distress stimulates adopting an extreme ideological outlook; (b) extreme ideologies are characterized by a relatively simplistic, black-and-white perception of the social world; (c) because of such mental simplicity, political extremists are overconfident in their judgments; and (d) political extremists are less tolerant of different groups and opinions than political moderates. In closing, we discuss how these psychological features of political extremists increase the likelihood of conflict among groups in society."
I hope you can see now that being in a self-imposed hyper anti-Western and hyper pro-Russia bubble is not helpful when looking at the world objectively. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 13:08, October 24, 2023 (EDT)
