>>6698492>no uThe meme is based on not having an inner monologue, making the person far more susceptible to the most prevalent and loudest voice (Because they don't question anything) which in our modern day is the media. The media is currently strong left leaning, which means those NPCs(people without monologue) tend to be swayed by the mass media. It's incorrect to say, "Right wingers are the real NPCs" as they do not have control of the mass media. They are the ones who, despite all the propaganda bombarding them everyday constantly, were still able to question the narrative and arrive at a separate conclusion from the mass media.
That being said, it is still possible for right wingers to be NPCs(And most of them are to an extent) within their own communities. It's a matter of how much you let yourself be an NPC (This could correlate to the fact that people use inner monologue to varying degrees in the study) When you look at the average r/The_Donald user you'll notice their NPC behavior begins where their tolerance for beliefs end. Some people believe everything with no question like leftists, some people question a little bit of the narrative and become centrists. Others will question most of the media narrative like Civic Nationalists, but Trump CivNat supporters will use the same NPC behavior they complain about the second you ask them to apply their "Critical thinking/ Questioning" to the Jewish Question. A good example are CivNats who have never looked into holocaust denial, versus those who have looked into it but still beleive it.
I think these varying ideologies may correlate with the rates of inner monologue discussed in the study. For example something like this ~, 0% Hard Left, 50% Centrist, 75% CivNat, 100% NatSoc.
