It's left me better informed than most of my cohorts, so I don't really follow. Voat is a website, it doesn't make you hate black people or jews, the people who hate them already did. It did make me look into violent crime statistics and put a more watchful eye on Europe, however. Honestly, voat has been an education for me because I'm no longer blinded by the "feel good" glaze of liberalism.

It does if you lack critical thinking skills or, like most people, are susceptible to confirmation bias.

That's the difference in being intelligent or not. I dislike Islam and I can justify my disdain for Muslims because they are an ideologically driven, identitarian group that actively subverts other societies. I can hate BLM and its members because they are a racialist group that actively tries to destroy society (or maybe passively, I don't know how aware they are of the damage they're doing). I can't justify hating a random black person, because I don't even know who they are.
