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.
