“You’re living in a bubble,” said the person who’d been exposed to exactly the same life-long indoctrination, education, media, and and propaganda as you, but never investigated further.
This is basically the last argument I made to my family before we stopped talking about politics
They were like hey, you seem to be going down these propaganda rabbit holes. But here's what I believe. And I'm like yeah, I know what you believe. I believed it for 35 fucking years too, I'm the one that did more research and changed my mind, You all don't even know the definition of socialism, let alone communism!
At that point, I decided that, yeah, I'm talking to brick walls. I'm not going to do this anymore. They'll have to research it themselves.
I love how every time I talk about politics with a liberal I provide historical events they are unaware of, and their counterarguments are the same tired garbage takes you see in mass media. "which of us is demonstrably more informed here, you genocide-excusing worm? I've read multiple books on this topic and you've read only headlines, and you dare to have an opinion? fuck you!"
