It does get a bit exhausting to have to memorize ever fucking country’s history in relation to capitalism, but you start to notice patterns and themes the more you learn and the more conversations you have. Without out even knowing much about a certain topic you’ll see the angle they’re taking immediately. Like the billions who have died under socialism when they’re talking about a fucking famine pre industrial times. Which is total different than geocoding a whole continent. Or the common well that happens all the time throughout history. All countries go to war. They all torture and steal and cheat so what’s the difference when we do it. Oppressors number one tool is cognitive dissonance. Call it when you see it and if they bring up a subject you’re not familiar with. Let them know you don’t know and then reframe it to something you do. It’s sounds like that’s what you did with health care and such, but when you’re done with that conversation do some research so you’re more prepared for the next.
