Like, libs who think russian troops did all the things they’ve been accused of in western media. It kinda makes sense for them to cheer on Ukraine’s latest terror attack if they truly believe that russians are doing all the warcrimes at the same time. I know in my life it feels like an insurmountable challenge to get someone to read an article from anywhere else in the world.
So, what’s your tolerance for someone who truly thinks they’re basing their worldview on reality but it actually just regurgitating propaganda?
I’ve come to see it this way and it feels relieving, I’ll talk to people IRL who are essentially leftist radicals but still say the typical lines about Russia and China, but they will wholeheartedly agree that the US political structure is irredeemable and we need a proletarian revolution etc. Most of the people I talk to that mention whatever about these countries will admit that they don’t truly know the reality on the ground because of misinformation, AI and everything. People don’t have to know the whole situation everywhere, most people are focused on their immediate struggles and are relying on those more well-informed like us nerds here to guide them in matters like politics.
Right! And China takes are much easier to rework than the murky Russia stuff. At least they are under a left-wing government…
Like you said though, we need to focus more heavily on what’s immediately relevant.
