reddit believes everything at face value because redditors are sheep that trust false or incorrect content to be downvoted. I’m convinced that this system of trusting other people’s judgement has led to all of these people completely losing any of their own judgement

i agree with most of what you said, but calling them sheep is a flawed approach. they have good reason to absorb this propaganda

Westerners are willingly complicit in crimes because they instinctively and correctly understand that they benefit as a class (as a global bourgeois proletariat) from the exploitation enabled by their military and their propaganda (in Gramscian: organs of coercion and consent). We’re not as stupid as we’re made out to be. This means that we can be reasoned with, that there is a way out.

they lack Marxism as a tool entirely. the propaganda makes sense to them bc they know of the horrific conditions in the third world and are grateful to reap the dregs of superprofits

but yeah the ppl who use :reddit-logo: are some of the worst of the first world
