Whose responsability is one’s ignorance?
A ruthless individualist would place the blame only on the person, ignoring the world wround them and the community or lack thereof.
I think everyone has a duty to be the best they can, and everyone is responsible for themselves, yet it is undeniable to me that we all live, and especially the people from the US, in an information system that aims at eroding the truth and our capabilities to gather it.
I also think an important part in how this corruption of information works is by also eroding our empathy for the people who are “dumber” than us.
You dehumanize ignorant people. You can deny it, but so many like you repeat this.
You will justify yourself, which is understandable, no one wants to be the cause of suffering. And yet.
Dehumanization is the weapon of the enemy, we do not need it, we will not use it.
These people won’t magically get smarter if you hate on them, in fact, they will take refuge on those that present themselves as loving teachers, but are actually ruthless abusers.
I guess it’s cathartic to hate those ignorant bums, see where that leads you
I mean, this is on me for not mentioning anyone in particular, but you can’t tell me this site hasn’t been erupting with rage and judgment since the election results.
Congrats on pointing the finger right away instead of thinking about what you read btw.
Only you are allowed to be judgemental, it seems. Doesn’t feel nice when it’s you?

What makes you think this is about hatred?
Are you so full of hatred for others that you think everyone is like that?

What a silly lie. No one said you can’t be judgmental. I certainly never even implied only I can be judgmental.
However, you are not above criticism.
And before you decide to put more words in my mouth, this does not mean that I hate you. I don’t know you.
You’re the only one who put words in my mouth. Never have I said i am above criticism, or that anyone is. Maybe you’re projecting
You must be new lemmy.
