When you converse with westoids you know some of them aren’t dumb as bricks and actually question some things. But when it comes to questioning the mainstream narrative it is like they turn their brains off.
I was watching kurzgesagt and The hated one and they have a few political vids that make you die of cringe. These two very informative channels are fucking braindead when it comes to mainstream narratives. Probably the same case with every other good westoid channel.
Are westerners inherently dumb or something?
Callous class interest. If I was a wealthy kid grown in the suburbs I might think differently, especially if my boss, coworkers, friends, family, and in-laws were of the same ideology. We’re also subject to the stains of the cold war purges where there wasn’t room for any ideological deviation without risking your middle class, intelligentsia, bourgeois lifestyle and community. We have lived in a highly repressive society for over a century. The only reason it’s more apparent now is because that society is falling a part. The US has always killed people who spoke against their hegomonic order, and if you weren’t worth killing they’d destroy you.
That’s for the middle classes these days. The proletariat are more frank and reasonable. I’ve always been openly socialist. I can easily relate to my peers on a class level. The people you’re talking about can’t.
