i feel like u guys don’t understand how this is also how gerrymandering is able to be done. like these people aren’t “stupid”, they’re intentionally given less resources for education because it keeps republicans in power. its not their fault.
Y’all can keep that ‘this is when artists get to work’ bullshit. I’m not shouldering the weight of societal stupidity. I saw how the masses treated the creative working class with the championing of ai. I see how game developers get treated on a daily basis. Naw, I’m cool.
like, i can't claim to have much experience with organising or anything either but i do know that most folks who aren't Terminally Online™ aren't as informed as we'd like to think/ people often mistake the shit we see on our feeds as commonsense
the leftist position is that people’s positions, even if horrific, have roots in their material reality. the liberal position as best i can tell is that 20-30% of the country has an irredeemably evil soul. i guess im going with the one you could actually do something about.
