This is what they've indoctrinated you as a teenager to think, doesn't make it true though. The truth is both exist primarily, if not solely to maintain capitalism and the status quo.

Indoctrination and having inherent bias are two completely different things.
Believe it or not, I’m capable of critical thinking and questioning of the status quo. Just because I’m arguing about two sides doesn’t mean I subscribe to any of them. Apples, oranges, doesn’t matter when the whole orchard is rotting and has been doing so for a long time.
How were we ever supposed to use a system designed to rely on popular opinion to support everyone, including minority topics. Doesn’t make sense.
Don’t confuse my comparisons and subjective descriptions with actual subscription.
