Well.
Sad to let you know.
We all are indoctrinated.
The way we think is determine by the rule of language, aka grammar.
Nobody can run for it.
Our thoughts and desires and inner beliefs all make their way into the global interconnected grid of consciousness on this planet, and in a small way, yes, what we think and do influence others. But in my opinion, people's reactions to left wing radicalization is a plea for sanity. It's a reaction to the polarizing politics of today.

The comments on the news sites in Southern California are the same.
At the end of the day, it proves one thing. America is all on the same page. A few people are left leaning. When I say a few, it may seem like a good amount, but really the majority, we all want the same thing. America to be strong and invaders to get the Fuck Out.

We are more like an incubator of arguments. People come here and are exposed to things they don't get to see elsewhere. They see ideas and arguments they haven't before and some of them even take those arguments and ideas out to other people. We are not the free marketplace of ideas, we are the black market place of ideas.

bitch please, /pol/ has at least 100x our numbers; if any single website is influencing the public itd be them
I wonder if we can take these ideas and make them mainstream, taking us out of the black market of ideas and into the bright spotlight of some unknown platform. Perhaps a free speech video platform like YouTube might work. Or, take out ads in the local paper.

We dont even have encrypted networks of information distribution. We dont have known trusted brokers. We dont have a formal structure that isnt susceptible to organisational damage. We dont have a global political aparatus. We are relying on organic groups. We are a social groups created by environment, not drawn together by leadership.
We have many holes to fill. I dont know where to start.
Then again, its a bit chicken and egg. If we move into prominence then the information network becomes populated by our opposition. How do we prevent the political momentum from flipping this coin endlessly.
Edit: I wonder when i started conceptualizing this side as we
