But like, go outside, you can use your own eyes right??? there's clearly no way that's true you can't run a fuckin organization under the conditions those books depict for any time longer than a month
Americans believe whatever sounds good to them at a given moment and "that thing I heard a couple months ago and never looked into" becomes, "I'm positive, bro, it's definitely true" when someone contradicts them.
I just - like - how. Do people just not care that they tell the truth, that they aren't just fucking making shit up ?? do people not care about their credibility on this shit?
Americans rarely have serious political discussions about things they care about. They either commiserate among what they think is a friendly crowd or they condescendingly shit on each other.
In the former case, there's no conflict and little risk to reputation.
In the latter case it's just pure defensiveness and trying to rationalize their own uninformed-yet-sacred views vs. those of the enemy. They don't care what the enemy thinks of them.
It's important to understand that Americans don't read and they acquire a lot of their social skills and knowledge from television, YouTube, and a toxic school / work environment. It's not normal to have read history or political theory. When they have arguments both "sides" are going to be wrong because they don't read and they both kind of know that the other person isn't exactly knowledgeable about something where they could build common ground, but is someone defending a belief system.
How do people believe this shit
