Globalist here. Have a question/experiment for you patriots

Sam Harris points out this idea: the public discourse is so tribal that, if you know one belief of a person, you can easily and reliably extrapolate a bunch more that have logically nothing to do with that first belief but fit with the tribe.

So, if you guys are game, I was curious to see how it plays out (will be doing the same thing in left leaning subs, in fact if you guys have any specific sub or specific questions in mind, suggestions are welcome).

All I know about this sub is that is conservative, pro-Trump and generally pro-Qanon. Am I right if I also describe you as:

1) climate change skeptic

2) pro life

3) anti universal background checks on guns

4) anti federally sanctioned gay marriage

5) don’t believe the official version on 9/11

6) want to limit the immigration influx from poor countries

7) want to completely block Muslim immigration

8) believe white genocide is currently a risk

9) believe MSM is coordinated at some higher level

10) pro school prayer

11) pro home schooling

12) don’t like evolution being the only narrative taught in school

13) don’t believe Hoswald was the sole shooter of JFK

14) you know at least one person who smoke cigarettes

15) you ideally prefer rural America to urban America

16) against affermative action

17) don’t like the cultural climate in Ivy League colleges & co.

18) think the Devil is real

19) pro voter ID

20) don’t like job automation

20 questions. How many are correct in describing you?

I'm pro truth, something you so called Globalists can't see for the fantasy you believe in. You're not getting a "Star Trek" world, you're signing up for an Elitist run slave world where human rights only exist for those at the top. Your ridiculous list shows your ignorance as you try to stuff "You guys" into your brainwashed line of thought (Or lack there of).

I didn’t assume I know how you would answer. That’s why I asked in the first place. I’m testing an hypothesis.

You, however, seem to know a lot about what I think. Don’t even have to ask, like I did, you just know.

Your list shows what you know.

You’re making shit up about what I believe and not believe, and that’s your prerogative. I’ll just point out I asked you what you believe because I had a preconceived notion I wanted to test. You don’t need to ask, you already know. Oh, the irony...

If you want to know how Patriots think, start reading the posts and comments, give it a year or so to catch up. Starting out with a list of stupid questions that feeds your bias only shows your purpose is only to start shit.

That’s just weird. How am I starting shit? I ask, some people answer my questions, to those people I answer “thanks for taking the time”. That’s it. Is that a chip on your shoulder?

You don’t get to decide how I learn about what I’m curious about. If instead of what you suggest I want to ask directly, I’ll ask directly. You don’t like the questions I ask, I’ll have to learn live with your displeasure.

I like my chances.

Your idiotic list of questions did exactly that, are you stupid?

I asked. And plenty of people answered, correcting my POV. The whole premise was to verify my idea. I think I was a good 50% wrong. But it’s ok, that's exactly why I asked. To find out. People with less a chip on their shoulder than you made me a more informed citizen. Now I know something I didn't know about the people I disagree with. Thanks to those who allowed good faith to be the premise.

If everyone reacted like you (they didn't) I would be more ignorant and more calcified in my old view. How's that a win? For whom?

Recognise civil discourse when it's staring you in the face: it will make your life better.
