Because I disagree they know shit about Gaza or USAID or DOGE
They don’t know shit about those things because they discard any information that makes them uncomfortably while privileging any information that affirms their pre-existing position or prejudices. I pride myself that I’m pretty good at arguing with people, and IRL, I tend to take a much softer tone because I have to deal with these fucks day-in and day-out. There’s no block function in meatworld if I find them too tedious. And let me tell you - you can lay it out in terms they absolutely understand, and in a week, a day, an hour, they will revert to their prior position. They don’t ‘forget’ what was said, they disregard it. “Well, it’s just my opinion. Who knows what’s true anyway? There’s a lot of lies on both sides.”
Their positions are not predicated on their knowledge, nor are they interested in retaining knowledge that contradicts their positions.
and we want H4A so how are we gonna get there when they keep voting in whoever’s on tv?
Fucked if I know. Really wish that ‘demographic destiny’ bullshit peddled in the late 2000s worked out better.
Wish I had that kind of optimism anymore.
