I get what you’re saying, but I just don’t feel like making excuses for dumb people. I believe that if you’re raised in a certain environment it doesn’t mean you have to end up a specific way…unless you’re kind of dumb.

This isn’t centuries ago where you’re born into a village and that village and its customs are all that you know, forever. All data is accessible now. If you end up stupid, it’s kind of your own fault.

I’m not trying to toot my own horn here, but I’m old enough that I lived the first chunk of my life before the internet became a thing and I’m WAY more intelligent with the internet than I was without it. I’m much more aware of what’s going on in the world around me. I know so much more about, just, random shit. And I didn’t receive some special education. I received a public education in the U.S.

There’s really no excuses. I believe the internet, or propaganda in any form, only corrupts if you’re kind of generally dumb.
