Do you tend to interpret current events through an ideological prism?

[Anonymous]

Like instead of analyzing current events objectively, you always spin them so they conform to a pre-existing ideological opinion. For example, take the price of eggs. The price of eggs were high a few months ago, now they are low. If the price of eggs mattered to you a few months ago, it should matter now. If it didn't matter to you a few months ago, it shouldn't matter now. But if you interpret the price of eggs through an ideological prism, their price will only matter when it conforms to an ideological bias.

Yes, I always filter current events through an ideological prism.

No, I judge every current event objectively and independently.

See results.

What if the reason for the event is political ideology with very little economic influence? How do you not view it as a result of ideology.

Example, none of the inflation we are experiencing from tRump’s tariffs has anything to do with economics. It is the whim of an imbecile with no understanding (or care) about the destruction he is causing. It’s not really even coherent ideology. It’s just a monkey throwing shit and hoping for a miracle.

No. I'm a historian by training and that's my paradigm. I really have to marvel about the fact that after 5 decades I have a perspective that was not there in my youth. It's remarkable the way you see patterns and the benefit of hindsight.

If you're bday begins with a 20 just STFU before you embarrass yourself. Sit down n I'll learn ya few things...

But historical paradigms are sometimes based on ideology.

Of course!! Overlapping, intertwining and even contradicting!!

Yes, the price of eggs skyrocketed because Trump was elected, Somehow he made them go up even before he took office. Now that they are less expensive it was Biden's policies before he left office that did this.

No, only through my philosophy.

No, I judge them for myself.
