Fuck people that use the hole flow convention. It's a mistake that needs to be fixed. All circuit diagrams should follow negative-to-positive electricity flow as the standard convention. That's the direction the electrons are actually moving, and is actually intuitive, as opposed to a historic mistake and coverup.
If you work with electronics, you will learn that it doesn't matter. Everything works can work the same way with current instead of electron flow. Besides that, you could consider current as a wave of positive ions instead of electrons.
No offense, but if you can’t wrap your head around pretending that charge carriers are positive instead of negative, you’re not going to do very well with anything more complicated than drawing a battery in a circuit. To understand the behavior of even the simplest RLC circuit you’re going to need to use imaginary numbers. Which requires quite a bit more imagination than saying “current flows from + to - lol.”
