    The meme is making the effort required to be educated or a fascist equivalent when they are not.

    Being a fascist is intellectually easy.

    Got a problem? Blame migrants Can’t get ahead? Blame Jews Can’t afford a house? Black people got too uppity

    It’s a one trick pony, all problems are caused by someone else and I’m perfect.

    Understanding the systemic reasons why women still aren’t paid the same as men or why a disproportionate amount of African Americans are incarcerated is hard and requires a lot of foundational groundwork to overcome the huge capitalist propaganda machine.

      you’re kind of saying that this school of thought isn’t for everyone?

      when, really, everyone would benefit from it.

        Not really, it’s a nice sentiment to be encouraging and educate people who are not familiar with leftist politics but that belies the truth that it does take effort on both sides (teacher and learner) to become educated about why they benefit everyone.

        I think everyone could learn this school of thought but it is a lot harder than being a fascist propagandist.
