Oversimplified political thought that revolves around putting people into arbitrary “boxes” based on perceived political identity, rather than
trying to understand each
individual’s personal beliefs.
Spelled with 2 x’s to help
distinguish “boxing” (left hook, right hook) from “boxxing” (left wing, right wing). First appeared in an Alex Hexagon video.
An example of “boxxing”:
Shepherd believes that men and women have unique abilities and personality traits from birth, and that while both are of equal value, gender roles in society should reflect these differences rather than trying to force men to be women or vice versa. He goes into the “
conservative” box.
Andrew believes that women offer nothing of value to men other than sexual gratification, and that men should never invite them into their lives. He goes into the “
conservative” box despite having
absolutely nothing in common with Shepherd.
Marianne, a self-identified progressive, boxxes the two together and cannot see the difference between the two, despite there being nothing but difference. If you want to be able to have debates with people, you need to learn to think outside the box.
