    There’s definitely a media bubble, early childhood conditioning, social pressure, and other forms of brainwashing going on that can take a lot to break through and unlearn, not to mention relearning newer, healthier patterns. And even then there might be lingering assumptions and biases that just haven’t come up yet to be examined in the light of reason.

    Traveling for a week or two at a time can only do so much. And then they go back to the US where people treat them like they’re weird if they don’t conform to the USian ignorance. A person really has to live outside the US for months or even years to fully recover from it.

    Rebuilding one’s whole worldview takes time and effort, and it can be really uncomfortable. Also, without strong social support with a healthier worldview to emulate, it can be really disorienting and difficult to find the way forward. Basically having to build one from scratch, whereas most people learn theirs from growing up interacting with peers and role models.
