It’s republicans saying it’s bad. Because it changes the perceptions of people. Usually those perceptions reveal to people that conservative values are just the wrong way.

As in it’s actually a good thing to listen to foreign peoples viewpoints immigrants aren’t evil monsters they actually boost economies more than homegrown civilians. Bigotry is actually a bad thing. religion has been the largest cause of death in history and isnt really what’s needed to help people tax breaks for the rich doesn’t help poor people etc

When people have access to higher education, they gain skills to think freely and not just parrot what authoritative figures tell them. That’s why conservative republicans say higher education is bad. It puts them in the wrong and lowers their voter base. This is just a simple explanation but should get the point across.

You’re right. I just tend to see educated folks as liberal in my day to day. That’s my bias.

It’s fine for now. But I very much would prefer a general gaming community for major topics that anybody familiar or not with games can discuss, but also will need more specific communities for discussing:

PCGaming (including what components are a steal or required theses days, games that are only on Pc or to be ported,etc)

SteamDeck (just coming out last year it has daily information that needs to be passed around to users) l

TableTopgames (convention talk, deals, reissues of old games making comebacks, what games for party sizes, best snacks, etc).

And many more communities that aren’t just for me.

All of these communities end up getting lost in a larger group like Gaming. Cross posting is not a symptom of having too many communities. It is a symptom of moderating gone wrong and (for reddits case) karma farming.

This is speculation but:

Higher education is typically liberal leaning. Liberals tend to be less religious and far more free thinking.

Conservatives are far more religious and illiterate/less educated. Conservatism as it is now is a minority to progressive ideologies (frequently outvoted in populist polls).

To get more power they need more religious and less educated voters to sway with propaganda/media talking heads. Higher ups are certainly pushing the narrative of private education (run by unlicensed teachers; teaching selective conservative values in textbooks) and it’s parroted by every republican voter and their mothers.

An uneducated voter base will equally vote against their own interest. They just don’t know any better. I’ve seen relatives (grandma with Native American heritage vote republican; anti women’s rights/anti Native American rights/anti social programs) vote to harm themselves because fox told them to. Insanity.
