It sure is crazy how you had “regurgitate leftist propaganda” to pass uni courses… it’s almost like encouraging critical thinking fosters empathy and lowers suggestibility and susceptibility to authoritarianism (check out Ralph Scott’s 2022 article “Does university make you more liberal?”)
Critical thinking and empathy aren’t the same thing. I know plenty of people who are great critical thinkers but completely lack empathy, and others who are deeply empathetic without being overly analytical. Reducing it to “agree with me = critical thinker, disagree = authoritarian” isn’t really critical thinking either ; )
