And I’d imagine that this applies to politics as well. Given the popularity of /c/autism, there seems to be a correlation between autistic people and political beliefs on Lemmy that seem resistant to propagandized beliefs, though it may that other propaganda just hadn’t kicked off here in earnest yet.
I’d love to get your subjective opinions on this with caveat that correlation does not imply causation.
Also hope this isn’t sensitive. Figure this would help me the autistic community
The overwhelming trend from Americans here seem to be far (for america) left political views.
There are outliers, and this could be a correlation or Lenny’s own form of propane’s, but there’s still a lot of disagreement in the comments over the finer points a lot of the time (as Reddit once was like) so imo there is some evidence of broad resistance to at least some forms of propaganda here. Given also how much of it is outright critical of many of the more mainstream forms of propaganda.
It’s admittedly a weak correlation based on personal experience browsing /r/all so it would be absurd to imply anything causal re: autism but thinking about that got me thinking about this and also a better chance to understand some members of another type of neurotypical so I figured I’d ask.
