      I think some people assume that conservatives are what they are because of ignorance and not malice.

      That is what liberals have told themselves to sleep at night basically ever since FDR died.

      You know, like how Biden rationalized being friends with Strom Thurmond.

      That’s just how I write when I actually think about my arguments

      But I would have done a semicolon instead of a period and line break between the last two sentences

    Ofc they know, bigotry and nationalism is something that’s explicitly taught by bourgeois superstructures (media/schools/leftover protected tradition/etc). If it was a simple deal people had been offered for “comfort”, there wouldn’t be a need for bourgeois to drill into peasantoid minds the concept of a nation for a hundred years, or for them to create eugenics as a pseudoscience to justify racial supremacy…

    This applies to every single nation in existence btw, not just US. Sweden still had state enforced eugenics until 2013

      Literally nobody is saying that or asking white people to do, except right wing trolls and propagandists.

      Who said you were supposed to, and not just not keep doing it?

      It’s like you didn’t actually read what was said and just put up some strawman to hide your pretensions of victimhood behind.

      Weird.
