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.

idk man thats not a weird thing to say and the average layman really might not understand how they can support their favourite content creators without the ads. i feel a bit bad for this person now because they were dehumanized over such a simple statement and innocent sentiment. you yourself confessed to having right wing beginnings so maybe chill out with dehumanizing people and being so quick to give up your empathy.
