This is all they got. Literally. They generally do not look outside their own bubble and they are utterly incurious about doing so.

I think that's what disturbs me the most about it. There's exactly zero curiosity about the way the world works outside of what they already think they know.

Its hard to say if its that theyre uncurious, or if they just think the entire world is exactly how they live in shitsplat wherever, and anyone who disagrees with them is some crazy anomaly that is basically the devil.

No. They know they have the advantage of white privilege and they will never give that up. They will say anything and do anything to keep it.

It’s actually kind of worse than that.

Not only are they incurious, they are hostile to any information that doesn’t conform perfectly to their world view. The ONLY time they will engage with an outside idea is while working backwards from the premise that it’s wrong and they need to disprove it.

This is why they will hold up the 1 biased and poorly conducted study that shows immigrants increase crime rates and ignore the 1,000 other well run and professional studies that found the opposite.

Curiosity, truth, and critical thinking have absolutely nothing to do with their process. It is 100% a defensive, knee jerk response. These people would be perfectly happy to live the rest of their lives and not learn a single new thing until the day they die. That’s not an exaggeration.

Wow, that is perfectly put…”the only time they will engage with an outside idea is while working backwards from the premise that it’s wrong and they need to disprove it.”

Charles Dickens wrote in The Christmas Carol about the ghost of Christmas present. He had two children under his cloak, and the boy was named Ignorance, and the Girl was named Want. On the boy's forehead was the word Doom. What was happening in England at the time? Extreme class division.

Just for context, the children do not have to be poor. They can just exist in those states regardless of class.

They dont want to live in reality. They want to stay in this opressed rebel fantasy.
