The amount of propaganda they believe and are certain of plus their unending love for capitalism is just mind blowing. I'm done trying to convince people of the opposite, they will either arrive at the truth themselves or never will.

You can have the most level headed discussion about something, cite sources, evidence etc. and still get called "chinese/russian propaganda" or "show me where socialism works" or "I will not live under a dictatorship like they do in china" or "If we let china dictate our lives we are all working in sweatshops or 996".

Sorry for venting, I'm just more and more realising that people straight up believe something without ever challenging that narrative and it'a frustrating.

I used to be friends with a guy that thought that anti-monopoly laws against Google and other Big Tech companies was unjust because they were the first "innovators" and that all-day public education was bad because schools become open grounds to "drug dealers".

It doesn't help that he's also a massive homophobe and denies that evolution happened.

He lost a business and is stuck doing gig jobs for now. Petit Bourgeois brainworms are hard to kill, I suppose.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
