    Reminder that most of these people's political theory comes from whatever the last marvel movie they watched or whatever childhood videogames they've put the most time into.

    So it's either brainwashed russians/non-whites or npcs (bots) through that lens.

    Like there's a good chance the worst material "harm" that these people have experienced in their lives is the inflation of gold prices on the market on their world of warcraft server.

      I get the impulse towards extreme cynicism but most libs afaik are still one or two paychecks away from the street, making decisions about when they can afford to get medical care, etc. The general public is mostly ignorant, alienated, and disenfranchised, completely trapped in the hegemonic power of a propaganda regime they don't even suspect exists. You don't have to be nice to them but it's worth remembering most of them were probably perfectly decent when they were six and it took years of indoctrination to turn them in to libs, just like it does for everyone else.
