When you converse with westoids you know some of them aren’t dumb as bricks and actually question some things. But when it comes to questioning the mainstream narrative it is like they turn their brains off.

I was watching kurzgesagt and The hated one and they have a few political vids that make you die of cringe. These two very informative channels are fucking braindead when it comes to mainstream narratives. Probably the same case with every other good westoid channel.

Are westerners inherently dumb or something?

    To me it is just that they don’t apply the scientific thinking to politics because they don’t believe it is applicable there.

    I had a conversation with my centrist friend and he was like: “I urge you to keep an open mind when looking at China in order to see what is really going on there.” (He knows I am pro CPC)

    My answer was: “I accept your urge, but I urge you not to fall into nonfalsifiable orthodoxy and to look at history and the present in a materialist manner.”

    His response? “I can’t, because that would mean that I would have to say that for example Stalin was OK. And if you look at the world in that manner then the correct answer is that collectivism is better than individualism. All that goes against my moral values.”
