Can't wait for every racist liberal to let me know I support baby beheadings because I want people freed from a concentration camp!

Why does the "as a person from X country" bit hit the liberal taste clusters so well? in c/[email protected]

I think what guided me towards an actual ideology over time was the ick from reading those types of posts, especially the China ones. I think if you care to understand why things are a certain way, the "common sense" statements immediately fall apart.

It's really this simple, unless you develop a materialist worldview your brain is just going to take the easy route of letting the "my family escaped communism" bits reinforce your established biases.

Attempts at nuanced discussions about topics like the Ukraine war or Taiwan that don't immediately tow the state department line seem to always get dismantled by emotionally charged responses like that.

When I see remarks like this I ask myself, why should I care?

It always come off like an attempt to refuse critical thinking and fall back into a Marvel good vs. evil worldview.

Hexbear, various lemmy libs want to know, do you unironically support Trump? Sorry for the tedious question and thanks if you bother to answer it lol. If you do respond please be kinda serious. in c/[email protected]
