    These people are victims too. Our schools were sabotaged for private profit. News was sabotaged for private profit, and these people have been swimming in “distrust your own senses” corpo propaganda for half a century.

    The capitalists that bought our government made these people. I don’t like them, they’re not redeemable, but they are victims, the capitalists want you to hate these people and keep buying their products.

    Be angry at the right people. The owners. Pity their pathetic, for all intents and purposes lobotomized rubes. They’ll still call capitalist made climate change a hoax when the CAT 5 has turned their home into confetti.

    You can’t expect people of or below average intelligence to just magically think and reason critically in a nation where such skills are taught at college level.

      Just no… Paraphrasing Sisan Sontag

      10% of people are evil, 10% decent and the other 80% will just follow along with whomever they think gives them what they want.

      Sure, but at some point you have to face the consequences of your own stupidity or you’ll never learn.

        They will get the consequences, whether people here mock them for it or not. Wasting time blaming these people doesn’t affect the consequences they will face. Instead, it takes time away from us blaming the actual culprits.

      We don’t expect that we expect them to not receive benefits and suffer. Gotta take the safety rails off and let the real dumb ones you know let nature nurture them.
