Things that are so obvious and ingrained that no one even thinks about them.

Here’s a few:

All US americans can go to Mexico EASILY. You’re supposed to have a passport but you don’t even need one (for car/foot crossing). Versus, it’s really hard for Mexicans, who aren’t wealthy, to secure a VISA to enter the US. I’m sure there are corollaries in other geo-regions.

Another one is wealthy countries having access to vaccines far ahead of “poor” countries.

In US, we might pay lip service to equal child-hood education but most of the funding pulls from local taxes so some kids might receive ~$10000 in spending while another receives $2000. I’m not looking it up at the moment, but I’m SURE there are strong racial stratas.

    Well, you had a good education. I’m also skeptical of science, but mostly because our science can’t be fully separated from capitalism and its incentives.

    Why are you talking to me like I’m a teenager? Y’all always pretend to be the adults in the room, very cool very condescending.

    They don’t want to throw anyone in an oven, and that’s a fact.

    So you aren’t always relativist. You get to side with your buddies against the minorities that their tribe hates. Lovely. I don’t give a fuck about your friends. Your friend isn’t conservatism, conservatism is conservatism. He’s aligned himself how he’s aligned himself. With people who want to throw me in a fucking oven you dumb motherfucker. Go peddle your dogshit cowardly ideology somewhere else. People saying they want to kill me is a fucking fact. You are cowardice incarnate.

      Stop being such a victim, nobody wants to kill you, they just want to live their lives. I know lots of conservatives and not one of them wants to murder minorities, what are you even talking about?

      Seriously, go talk to normal people about normal stuff and knock it off. Yeah there is injustice in the world and we should talk about that, but you can’t always live in that space or it will drive you crazy.

        Stop being such a victim

        people will stop being victims as soon as other people stop being victimizers

        stop being this guy:

        go talk to normal people about normal stuff and knock it off

        let me guess, you’re one of the normal people. you have decided this for totally normal reasons, and your normality just exists in a vacuum and isn’t imposed by any kind of superstructure.

        eah there is injustice in the world and we should talk about that,

        no, we shouldn’t talk about it. we should put an end to it.

        but you can’t always live in that space or it will drive you crazy.

        people don’t choose whether they live in an unjust space or not. they are born into it, and it drives them crazy and kills them. Only people unaffected by it have the liberty of ignoring it.
