The amount of propaganda they believe and are certain of plus their unending love for capitalism is just mind blowing. I’m done trying to convince people of the opposite, they will either arrive at the truth themselves or never will.
You can have the most level headed discussion about something, cite sources, evidence etc. and still get called “chinese/russian propaganda” or “show me where socialism works” or “I will not live under a dictatorship like they do in china” or “If we let china dictate our lives we are all working in sweatshops or 996”.
Sorry for venting, I’m just more and more realising that people straight up believe something without ever challenging that narrative and it’a frustrating.
I would say I have not talked to many people that were as bad as him. I never stop trying to like teach people., cause I’m like autistic about correcting people when I know they are wrong, (to the point my friends have to let me know when I’m “being me”) but I did give up on this person. He was more like a robot, and it was not worth the mental exhaustion to try.
I crossed so much people like this at work.
