By now, people who grew up in the early 90s and late 80s have probably heard of the Berenstain Bears controversy. To surmise—there's been debate over the correct spelling of Berenstain, with many disagreeing about how. Some believe it's how most materials depict it, while others are adamant that Berenstein is the correct spelling. The argument itself has gone past denying one side or the other to the point that people believe reality is glitching. A minority of interested parties subscribe to the Mandela Effect theory, wherein they concede facts, places, or events transpired differently than history dictates. Reddits, forums, and YouTube breakdowns dedicated to every instance that points to a quote-unquote glitch in the Matrix rack up insane views. We're obviously not living in a simulation—or at least not one that's verifiable—although some Mandela Effects are rather convincing. The Berenstain Bears are a perfect example.

Lana V LynxPublished 4 days ago in The SwampWho You Might Be Based on Who You Sympathize With: PALESTINE, UKRAINE, RUSSIA, ISRAEL
UKRAINE & ISRAEL: The Liberal You might prefer relatively liberal societies that have a reasonable amount of social norms and expectations, and a certain degree of censorship and bad reactions to (some) protests. You may be center-left or center-right, possibly a neoliberal (or possibly, but less likely, a Trotskyite or nationalist) of some sort. Also includes neoconservatives, and some other (pro-establishment) "elitists" from almost every part of the political compass. These people are mostly afraid of something really "different" (in their government). They are afraid of change. They are probably also afraid of too much chaos and extremes. A lot of them might just want to live their lives (or think that), and would like more people to follow their "majority", "normal" stance on this issue. In addition, you might also have some ancestry or heritage that is Jewish or Ukrainian.
