Does liberalism make people dumb or only dumb people believe it? That’s the question.
The former, I think. I know plenty of libs who are otherwise quite intelligent, especially in their chosen fields. But once politics comes up, it’s like a switch flipping
Mostly the former, there are plenty of smart people who are avid liberals who just have aligning class interests (labor aristocrats), and there are tons that just get so pumped full of propaganda, for example one might think “smart people read and believe the mainstream media, because they are the arbitres of truth, therefore anything contradictory they’ve said must have either been corrected because they are so responsible or I must be remembering incorrectly.”
Both. It’s like egg and chicken question of stupidity.
People may be fooled into it and get dumbed down by it, or they may be dumb enough to believe it
Love how libs are now like “hehe China having issues with corona” my brother in Dog, you’ve asked for it
Cake day
Let them eat bread!!
Apt comparison. A lot of liberal worldview is that of a child
Meanwhile, I had Trotskyists telling me, a Chinese person in 2022, that I should discard my so-called “bOuRgEoIs NaTiOnAlIsM”… in a time when I have to deal with rampant Sinophobia and the sheer amount of people who participate in discourses around China in bad faith.
Trotskyist try not to interject obvious dogma in a way that is also racist challenge: Impossible
I’m just surprised they’re not going full mask off (ba dum tss) cheering on that Chinese people are dying.
