Or they just know that and are purposefully playing blind to it.
I know what you mean. Often it is hard to see if one person is purposefully blind or like really don’t understand it.
Often it is like if they don’t care for history, ignoring what happened before. “Before” not in the sense of two weeks, but years, decades etc. I often stop arguing at such points, because it is exhausting to explain history. Regarding agitation this is ofc important, but Jesus Christ you need 100 more times to show them why they are false, when they need 10 seconds to write the weirdest shit.
Yup. Doesn’t even have to be past history. You can point right now that they aren’t putting a single finger up against the genocide and they’ll start brunching and calling you a single-issue purity tester and report everything you say. Half of them straight up accept and embrace the brain-worms while the other half is taken for a ride because they’re so insulated from other takes by their own smugness, echo chambers and failure to yes, read into the past.
In the entire time I’ve been organizing, been online, etc I have a handful of liberals I’ve managed to convince rather than the far more reactionaries that expanded their way of thinking when I present them with alternatives. It is fucked up when I’ve had conservatives and libertarians be more open-minded and accepting of socialist views when presented properly and mindfully.
