    Idk, that just seems like a person genuinely trying to find answers but they have been marinated in constant propaganda starting the minute they were born. Calling them stupid seems counterproductive.

      There is a limit to tolerance and patience though. If they ask for answers and we give them answers, and they respond with “I don’t like those answers, give me answers that agree with my preconceived notions.” over and over and over again, there’s not really anything we can do. This isn’t a person actually seeking answers, this is a bad faith actor trying to wreck shit by “just asking questions.”

      • Yeah, if someone wants to take the time to talk with them over DMs and patiently take them at face value, I’m not gonna claim it won’t be productive. But we do not have to tolerate that kind of dogmatic ignorance on the public boards.

      It’s why I attempted to answer in good faith, and give an actual explanation. They came back later and ultimately agreed with my assessment. Dunking on libs has its place, but it ought to be once they’ve shown themselves to be bad faith actors and not just someone working through a lifetime of propaganda.
