This is the internet… You might have to throw a /s after your comments, even if it’s obvious

It sucks that we live in a world where it’s impossible to tell if this is real, complete nonsense, or a false flag operation.

That average probably includes white people murderers getting a slap on the wrist. I wonder what it is if you just take the average of black/brown people’s sentences for murder

It’s almost like Hamas is a puppet for Israel, designed to keep giving Israel an excuse to continue their genocide.

If you go back will you be forced to fight in the Israeli army? (Deal breaker as far as I’m concerned)

Technically the choice exists for them… But if they’re never introduced to it can they be expected to know it exists? If every single person in their lives… Their parents, teachers, preachers, everyone they see on TV… Only ever feed them the same crap, and any dissent is not just discouraged, but dangerous. I’m not sure they really CAN choose you know? Now, there is a lot of willful ignorance as well… Don’t get me wrong. And obviously there’s a difference between not knowing you have a choice, and actually not having a choice.

Yeah…I guess I just meant that average liberals tend to blame average conservatives instead of the rich (while average conservatives basically blame everyone who doesn’t conform to their exact ideals instead of the rich).

Not sure I agree that conservatives can both “choose” to be like they are, and also be the victims of their upbringing in a toxic system. These 2 points you made seem to be contradictory.

I agree many liberals fail to see that the average conservative is also a victim of this system, and that conservatives are brainwashed to think what they believe is a good thing.

I don’t think I made the comparison you’re saying I made. I’m sorry it came across that way. Calling out asshole conservatives for being assholes is fine as long as it’s with the understanding that they don’t know any better because the rich have them so brainwashed. And then follow it up by trying to convince them that the rich are the problem, not the immigrants etc. But to stop at blaming average conservatives, without recognizing the rich as the fundamental problem, I think, has the same end result as conservatives blaming everyone that’s even slightly different than them… No one points at the rich.

That’s a big part of it… For me the smoking gun is building 7

Wes4Humanity , 3 months ago to asklemmy in What is the most unhinged conspiracy theory?

That’s certainly a part of it
