Capitalists can just be like “dude look at this NPR article socialism is bad”

Meanwhile I have to have an extensive understanding of philosophy, history, science, economics and politics in order to justify my worldview.

Sometimes I forget that people don’t have comprehensive world views, and accidentally say something’s CIA propaganda, then have to go through that whole process of explaining how the CIA having fronts and interfering in global affairs isn’t a conspiracy, it’s just reality, and that finding sources about it isn’t the same as finding sources for an 8th grade book report, because it’s the goddamn CIA! Shits exhausting and sucks balls, I just want to be dumb I know I’m right bitch, get off my dick

    I dig the righteous anger but they are clearly being ironic. Unless you are ironically attacking them, in which case I am in over my head in the levels of irony. Good response though to whataboutism, definitely using that.
