Study History and You’ll Never Spend a Day Working Because it Doesn’t Support Capitalism
(lemmy.world)
Ngl this is what every single one of you fucking liberals calling me out about my substandard research practices makes me feel .
I had a similar run in with a friend who grew up in mid-western PA who had never heard of red lining and refused to believe that something like that happened in this country. He hoped on the crazy conspiracies train around the time COVID and I haven’t talked to him since.
I genuinely think that a lot of these “great again” folks don’t understand what things were like “back then” and that all this social progress actually happened. It’s sad.
You don't need to worry about whether your thoughts are accurate. These people quite literally don't know how anything works. They're at the "ignorant enough to be dangerous" part of the dunning-kruger curve. Intelligent people don't solidify opinions about topics they've never researched, and know nothing about. They don't consider Fox News or their social media bubbles as research. They change their opinion based on evidence.
I don't think I've ever seen someone on the MAGA spectrum of mental illness produce anything resembling a sound argument.
