It doesn't matter how long you make them read Lenin and break rocks in the gulag, the second you let them out they'll see an AI generated meme from a CIA holdout posting from a bunker somewhere and immediately revert to being a burgerbrained fash.

I think we need to just dump them on an island somewhere and put them under continuous naval blockade and internet blackout till they revert to a Hunter gather society.

Ones mind being up to the task for anything is made difficult when you live in a culture based around exploiting you, gaslighting you, and withholding from you. The chuds know things are wrong, they just have had decades of being told that they’re seeing things, or alternatively that they’re right, but it’s the minorities whose fault it is.

I think it's also worth distinguishing disengaged/ignorant chuds from like, baying CHUDS who will triple down on everything because they just want to hurt people. I definitely know people I can't talk to about anything political because there's literally no point, they aren't attached to any political ideal or position beyond fucking with people they hate.
