  • So much this - as someone who lives in the US, I find some solace discussing matters with people who don’t, because apart from a few exceptions, it’s exactly like you said. There is no critical thinking, only “winning”. I try to stay grounded and remind myself that I’m not insane by interacting outside of the US.

    It’s incredibly demoralizing watching the people around you actively support a fascist pedophile simply out of a complete unwillingness to admit they were wrong. Even people who I know are legitimately very intelligent cannot admit they could ever be wrong when it comes to politics specifically, and are willing to make a complete fool of themselves in the process of trying to “win”.

    And no wonder, we have a culture that actively conditions that into people. It’s all about “owning the [insert political party here]”. There is no compromise, no mutual understanding, no learning, and no changing of minds. Just endless, spiteful arguing while we slowly get fucked by the rich.

    I’m convinced it’s completely intentional. Americans are stupid because they’re trained to be.
