I'm staying with some friends of my wife and was talking to her friend's husband who said he was on the left snd had a pretty normal discussion. He's a mid 20s white guy and was kinda undeveloped in his opinions so I explained some random stuff, and he seemed receptive and able to discuss normally.
Then I hit the topic of anti white discrimination, and he went off. He started raising his voice and shaking. It was kinda odd, but I wanted to hear him out as a white man. After dodging for a while, he finally conceded that not getting a small business loan because they exclude whites is discrimination. He said that pointing that out is glorifying (?) and started ranting about the KKK and white supremes and said it was neo naziism. It was really hard to pin it down to that. He was so agitated and weird, you know I just tripped his programming button and he lost it.
I finished by saying: idk if he was mentally abused in school or something that he was associating pointing out white men are discriminated against with the KKK, and he cut me off and said "fuck you!" and walked out of the room to go have a melt down or something. My wife was upset because it caused them all to wake up cause he was in the common area and it was late.
I am sad whites are so fucked up mentally. Yet happy i can at least come here to talk with natsoc boyos instead of limp dick soyos.
I might say sieg Heil to him tomorrow 🤔
For a lot of people their personal beliefs are formed not through direct study via research, but are socially formed, and they get emotionally invested into them as they harden.
Take, for example, the "very fine people" hoax. We all know it is a hoax, but there are people out there who really believe it happened, to such a degree it causes them mental pain if you show them the evidence it did not.
Here is another thing: the current information landscape allows these sorts of people to blissfully go through life without being exposed to information that challenges their opinions. This is because all the major institutions are controlled by people just like them. The right does not have this luxury, because of how pervasively leftist all the institutions are, so naturally a conservative has their beliefs challenged many times over the years.
For me, personally, I don't bother engaging with progtards any more. I used to, years ago, when I was a regular on the Ars Technica forums, but the rise of Trump from 2015 on just absolutely broke so many people on those forums that I just could not justify the time and effort it took to engage with people who were so angry at me I could feel spittle flying from my monitor.
Ya he seemed a bit more receptive to logic until the media programmed white guilt button was pushed in his head and he lost it.
