Seeing tweets about how epic based Ukranians are tying up people in public and labeling them as “looters” and everyone is just going fucking wild about how good they think this is.
Telling someone that Azov are state sponsored nazis requires 20 citations, is still untrue because Zelensky is Jewish and the nazis lost the election, and even if its true you cant care about it because that benefits Putin, yet random vigilante justice requires no fucking evidence at all that the victims arent just literally random innocents, all because its the epic Ukranians doing it.
Americans think Chris Kyle is a national hero and he made up a story about sniping black looters during hurricane katrina so this tracks.
This is always the way it goes when you go against the grain. One side can claim ‘common sense’, ‘consensus’ and gut feeling is enough evidence for their point of view. The other side has to write a dissertation and use meticulous logic. And it will still be dismissed.
Don’t worry though, take it as a challenge in vetting information and sources, developing your rhetorical abilities and shaping your own syncretic politics. We have the advantage that our beliefs are not fixed and dogmatic, but change according to new information, and being well-read and un-biased can do wonders for being more authoritative and calm in discussions. Meanwhile, liberalism is built on half-truths and idealism, and has to constantly battle cognitive dissonance, which takes away from their persuasive power.

I upvoted and agree with your post comrade, but I think it could be further improved if you rephrased this part, since it could potentially encourage the same confirmation biased mindset that we’re trying to avoid.
They’re just living vicariously bc they really wish they could do that to “looters” here
Americans trip over themselves to excuse white collar criminals who pull off billion dollar heists but go absolutely feral over petty thieves who steal from corporate chains.
