I mean she thought of politics as something philosophical that doesn't actually effect people so I'm not sure how someone this sheltered exists while also being trans. But it's fascinating in a horrifyingly stupid way. It explains why she really thought they wouldn't actually arrest her.
She's actually not mentally prepared to do prison time so I hope they figure something out.
Florida ignoring her legal name change is goofy though.
Probably why some are non voters to, they don't think actually affects them.
It's beyond stupid though, laws actually exist and we live in functioning society because of them (lol). Laws are created through politics. This isn't a hard concept to grasp, does she think if she speeds she'll never get a ticket? That it's just in movies?
Very strange, scary honestly
Some people really do just don't think about it much. There's also plenty examples of stuff like "we can't legalize weed, it's illegal drugs!" and then completely missing the contradiction
I don't really know how they think the world works, like they think that laws are just part of the natural order or things? And so politics barely mean anything? Or is just symbolic? I dunno
Some people do think that the society we exist in is just part of the natural order and that it's vain to try to change it or even care about it. I had an ex that was like that: whenever I tried talking about politics with her she would just go "What's the point of talking about it, we can't change anything anyway"
It's really weird honestly, considering that, you know, literally all of society is built up by humans
Have they just never read any history at all?
I think some people feel like history is in the past, and if they weren't there to see it? Well it's no different than a fairy tale.
I guess people heard people say that we have "reached the end of history", and accepted it without question
Seems like history is very much still alive and well
