    Thinking you are always right is one of the surest signs you’ve fallen down a propaganda rabbithole.

    What? …

    Do you think you’re wrong about things and not change your opinion to be the right one?

    This makes no sense.

    You should always strive to be right.

      Strive, yes. But thinking you’ve already arrived at such perfection indicates a fundamental weakness in critical thinking.

        Exaggerative jokes are illegal in “memes”?

        Dialectical and historical materialism is, in my opinion, the best way to analyze the world and therefore leads to the proper conclusion quite often. Definitely more often than other ideologies/ways of examining things.

        In comparison to people who follow other ways of examining things we are “always right”, this doesn’t mean I truly think following DiMat makes you omniscient.

          Omniscient is a bit of an exaggeration, I think, this is more about a belief in a philosophy, it’s about opinions. You can certainly have yours, no question, I would simply be wary and make sure the same standards of critical thinking are being applied to things we like and find agreeable as things we dislike and find disagreeable.
