    I don’t think it’s just right wingers, I’ve seen people that just regurgitate information in most social groups I’ve been in, including lefty communities.

      I’m just speaking from personal experience and using right wingers as the ironic example as the Manospere is what popularized the term. I’ve also had this experience with tankies as well. The Lazerpig vs Lira debate where Lira was absolutely running off a dialog tree he made is another example.

      Information is fine. A lot of people just regurgitate talking points and clearly have no idea what they mean. I call it bumper sticker politics, and both sides are guilty of it (“Go woke go broke!” “Corporations aren’t people!”). If your entire belief structure can be boiled down to one sentence that you don’t even understand, you are not helping.
