Basically op, some people are just stupid. They may think they aren't because they are educated in a discipline or have run a business, but some of those people have just mastered one aspect of intelligence and may lack general intelligence. Part of the human population is very stupid. I say this not as an insult. The ability to think critically and form your own values may have evolved last and not spread thru the entire population. These people can't form thier own ideas and thus absorb whatever ideas appeal to them emotionally, which is to say ideas and values where they get more power and whatever they were already doing is right. I feel this explains dark enlightenment, conservatives, Nazis, as well as some Marxists and liberals. Thanks to this modern age of specialization these people can gain enough skill in one area to become successful and powerful, which makes others and themselves think they are smart. Thus the social landscape changes .

Jazerus posted:getting into the alt-right is really easy, just post racist as gently caress things on your twitter and call people cucks Because they've somehow become a political force in the USA, and most people are uncomfortable with the idea of shooting fellow citizens to preserve democracy, so they convince themselves that these people can be studied, and thus understood and reasoned with.
