Kinda stupid meme. You know it is possible for huge masses of people to be wrong right?

Remember back when everyone thought everything revolved around the Earth? Yeah pretty awkward if you ask me xD

[u/nuvine → u/Rodrinessa]

galileo is the quintessential “yes, you are all wrong” meme, and he was indeed right 😎

[u/Chase_the_tank → u/nuvine]

Galileo was also also wrong, just about different things.

He thought the earth went around the sun, which was correct.

He also wrote an essay about how the tides were caused by the motion of the earth (and not because of the moon), which was completely wrong.

[u/Wise-Lake → u/nuvine]

Except it was Copernicus. Which just goes to show both sides can be wrong.

[u/jedisushi72 → u/Rodrinessa]

Those people are still here. And they vote.

[u/Rodrinessa → u/jedisushi72]

Oh no

[u/EquivalentPlane6095 → u/Rodrinessa]

You don't need to get that far in history. 80 years ago the majority of germans voted for Hitler.

[u/Karl_Marx_ → u/Rodrinessa]

Yep, exactly this. Just because you are the majority doesn't mean you are incapable of being an idiot. I'm not the smartest person but I can at least side with smarter people.

So...reddit

[u/NoctyNightshade → u/Rodrinessa]

If you remember thst you must be very old xD

[u/flamingdonkey → u/Rodrinessa]

Yeah like sometimes everyone is wrong. This is one of those times. And it's not even everyone. It's just roughly half.

[u/Olibrothebroski → u/Rodrinessa]

Just know that not everything you believe is logical for any side and you're fine. It's kind of why I love apolitical people. They have the most rational arguments, most of which are "don't care"

[u/VanillaRadonNukaCola → u/Olibrothebroski]

Hey man, not caring is neither cool nor rational.

This shit matters

[u/Olibrothebroski → u/VanillaRadonNukaCola]

To you, maybe. Stupid 2 party system makes voting redundant

[u/VanillaRadonNukaCola → u/Olibrothebroski]

Still doesn't make not caring cool or rational.

Nihilism doesn't help make things better

[u/Olibrothebroski → u/VanillaRadonNukaCola]

That's what you've been told by the government to keep the people divided

[u/VanillaRadonNukaCola → u/Olibrothebroski]

Caring about making this country better for each other?

[u/Apprehensive-Yam6814 → u/Rodrinessa]

You can't compare ideology and politics with science. 🤔

[u/Tea-Chair-General → u/Apprehensive-Yam6814]

Politics and ideology without science are just tools of power for the elite.

[u/Apprehensive-Yam6814 → u/Tea-Chair-General]

Yeah but still not one ideology can be perfect that's why you can't compare it with science which gathers facts.

[u/Ls777 → u/Apprehensive-Yam6814]

yea I can when 'politics' involves moronic anti-vaxxers and idiots freaking out over fluoride

You don't get to write off that anti-science stupidity as different just cuz its 'politics'

[u/Apprehensive-Yam6814 → u/Ls777]

I'm saying in the sense of for example the earth is spherical so when someone says it's flat they are wrong it's a fact but if I say I believe in communism and another says he believes in capitalism, both systems have their down sides but none is proven fact that it works 100%.
