It seems that you’ve already answered your own question, so why are you asking it?

I had a somewhat similar experience as a teen with shitty gaydar. Fortunately my closeted friend saw a therapist, and then he essentially “broke up” with me and told me to stay away from him because I was “toxic.” Which TBF was true in that unrequited love is toxic.

People feel all sorts of things, but often they’re not even really about me, so I often don’t take it personally.

Rights aren’t real. They’re granted by the collective.

They’re not granted by the collective in capitalist states, though. They’re granted by the ruling class, which is the minority capitalist class. And those happen to be the same people under discussion to face the guillotine.

You personally know gusanos who are still butt-hurt over their comprador parents losing their plantations.

Everyone believes in conspiracy theories; the question isn’t whether but which.

There are two parties because it’s a first past the post system, but that is a red herring. It’s not the source of the problem. The problem is that the US is a bourgeois democracy, AKA an oligarchy.

it’s the rich continuously stealing more capital and destroying businesses that is the problem

The rich are rich because they own the businesses. They own the means of production. The problem is capitalism; it’s private ownership of the means of production.

The reason it’s in Republicans the duopoly’s best interest to keep people stupid is that stupid people are much easier to propagandize to.

FTFY

We’ve been propagandized to believe that “centrist” journalism is the most reliable, and that the further from center the less reliable, and given how far to the right the Overton window is in capitalist states, “centrism” is objectively right wing. And the premise of “centrist objectivity” doesn’t hold water.

Unfortunately I don’t have time right now to dig up my relevant previouslies on media literacy, propaganda, and Gramscian hegemonic theory.

Edit to add: even what the average person considers to be”ethical” is shaped by how he ruling class. In capitalist states, for instance, private property is sacrosanct.

What the propagandized perceive as “unbiased” is in fact the hegemonic bias of the ruling class. That’s what you’re asking for without even realizing it.

Is OC not answering the question? Belief in a “woke mind virus” is a popular toxic mentality nowadays.

Obviously that’s not how body tags work. Either you or your friend is making this story up.

I heard it was 20 TRILLION!!

I know it isn’t from past experience with this turbolib.
