      these attitudes are carefully engineered in people.

      i wonder when (if?) we will snap out of it.

          you are complaining about peoples’s ideology and saying their ideology doesn’t matter on the same breath.

          this takes work to upkeep with a constant barrage of propaganda the internet unconsciously puts in the brains of people worldwide. and the hipnosis is going to dissipate when the ones maintaining this barrage goes away.

          the sooner it goes away, the most chances we have to survive through our problems.

              we are all still living in a capitalist hellhole where money is king but also scarce, and no one has time or money for a dignified life.

              it’s not about the individual’s ideology, but what’s collectively forced upon us. it’s not surprising people are greedy and ignorant in a system that rewards it.

              though being a big asshole doesn’t make you a good leftist when it’s all about fighting back, contradictions are common and have to be dealt with and ultimately material conditions determine how the fight is gonna be.

              again, this can improve once we don’t have the source of that problem anymore.

                  my brother in christ, people are already fighting back, hard. the fact msm doesn’t show it should be telling for anyone paying half attention, most lack of knowledge about most successful action is carefully engineered too.

                  i’m assuming you are from the western imperial core, and that’s why you don’t see it, but if you are not it’s just a matter of joining them and start seeing for yourself. history shows again and again in a very straightforward and concrete way our lives improve quite a bunch every time we push back against capitalism. removing capitalism removes the systemic incentive for being an asshole.

                  i’ll say it again because it’s worth drilling into: it’s not about the character of individuals but how the system is collectively set up. mistakes and assholes and all manner of contradictions will always exist, a society where they are the ruling class doesn’t have to.
