Looking at these liberals just confidently parrot whatever 10th grade “political science” education they got in school in response to any global event makes me appreciate the actual bourgeois intellectuals who have to hard carry these idiots.
It’s funny you should mention that because he claims to hate the government (after we had long, long discussions) and yet agrees with them on every adversarial foreign relationship they have; I asked him how it’s possible that a government we both agree is bad, is correct on all its rivals; I told him he’s being brainwashed and as a test, for him to name just one American rival that he doesn’t think is a bad country. Surprise surprise, he couldn’t, but he still doesn’t have even a single doubt that he might be brainwashed.
Heck, this guy who despises Trump was actually asking me ‘why DON’T we own Greenland? It’s much closer to us than Denmark!’
I’m so tired of trying. Even if I succeed, it’s one person convinced, versus over 300 million Khornites.
I think you’ve done good, and I think at least most of us have been in a similar position as you or even in the position of your liberal friend. Most people however dont change their minds on a dime especially when theyve invested so much of themselves into a position and defined themselves by that position. Unless your friend continues to surround himself in the media and refuses to think about what you said, how you got him to think, then that seed of an idea you planted will take root, and it will bear fruit, just not for a while.
It also seems like your friend is operating under some form of chauvinism e.g. American Exceptionalism, so in any future conversations with your friend I’d maybe do some research on arguments against this, Parenti in Blackshirts and Reds helped stamp out the last of that for me.
