1 day agoFirst rule of fascism - rules, laws, traditions and norms exist for 2 reasons:
-
Protect the in-group (the fascists)
-
Subjugate the out group (literally everyone else)
It’s like playing poker with a toddler - the rules are irrelevant - it’s just “I win”
You’ve explained the mentality - people don’t particularly care to know.
Why would people put in the effort to solve a problem they’re barely aware of, and don’t understand - particularly if putting the effort in to understand and address won’t even solve that problem? If you want to add problems to people’s lives, you need to tone it all the way down.
Don’t get me wrong though - you’re fighting the good fight - and meeting people where they’re at helps, so I guess this is a decent place to start.
