Wow, you have no clue on how the world works, do you.
When you grow up being indoctrinated by religion, fed hate and fear, at school you learn how to hide from shooters, you are constantly fed bullshit from propaganda sources like FOX because your parents also never had an education, and the politician who claims to know a solution to all your problems probably is the right choice, because he claims he’s the only one with a solution and you don’t know better than just follow a leader out of lack of own knowledge.
Yeah but you’re right, even when the entire world around a kid is influencing him into becoming a hateful and fearing person, it doesn’t matter. Kids are totally not susceptible to outside influences and chose to be a good person. Right?
Right… Like tiktok, Instagram, etc. Yeah, all influencers know that they need to teach right and wrong. Like Andrew Tate for example, right mate? For fuck sake.
Yeah, they do. But being influenced by a horrible world while growing up, that changes.
Like being a criminal is a choice even when you grow up on the streets with no food because your parents died from an overdose, growing up in an abusive cult is a choice because you can just leave right? Being homeless is a choice, being a junkie is a choice, growing up in a dictatorship is a choice, etc.
What happens when a kid grows up in a cult? They start to believe in it. Guess where the MAGA kids grow up in. And where those MAGA parents grew up in.
If all of this was a choice, then why did you chose to not to understand how people and life in general work. Now you are the person without sympathy.
Yeah, but sometimes it’s others who make that choice for you. Or fear. Like bullies. They bully so they won’t be bullied themselves, as they have been bullied before and never want to be the target again. It’s a natural psychological defense people develop. Like personality disorders. A choice made by abuse, fear, hunger, etc. And now we’re back at the kid in the picture.
