Given OAN's position as anything but the bottom-right of the chart, Imma have to call bullshit on this one.

Artimak
2. deservedly wallowing in the bottom right corner. That said, I'm not sure your call has validity without you having read the methodology
Artimak
1. It's a little surprising that they're positioned around the same area as Fox. Breitbart is further down, naturally, and Info Wars is
Artimak
6. Oh, and by "the source itself" I mean OAN. Now that they're on the Mango's radar, they're moving further & further right to please him.
Artimak
4. further to that corner, as the source itself has skewed further into conspiracy theory garbage. It's interesting that's your entire focus

The problem here is that it's not that they dislike evidence of their stupidity, it's that they don't understand how stupid they are, and -
RoseTheSpecialEdTeacher
willingly keep it that way. They are so dumb that they can't begin to comprehend the intellectual information given to them. However, -
RoseTheSpecialEdTeacher
their stupidty comes with arrogance and self confidence. So if they don't understand it, they think the intellectuals are the dumb ones.

By saying "they don't like evidence of their stupidity" you are giving them way too much credit and saying they are aware they are dumb.

Don't confuse socialists with social democrats, which is what modern European social parties are. The Nazis weren't social democrats.
everydayrobot
Socialism is a very broad term. Technically a Social Democrat falls under that umbrella
A2DY79
The Nazi 'social justice' program was a deeply collectivist one with no private life allowed. Everything was in the public sphere.
A2DY79
It appealed to many Germans, who are a naturally collectivist-leaning people. The error is confusing socialists with social democrats.

The Nazis were DEFINITELY not social democrats, and modern 'socialist' parties are social democrats, not true socialists.
