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.

baudrillard moment, theyre living in a fundamentally different constructed reality that has no relation to the real. its not about intelligence, its about subcultural narrative and the willful acceptance of a simulated reality that appeals to them on a fundamental level. their identity has been reconstructed around consumption of particular strains of media that appeal to their fantasy. They choose deliberately to re-enter the fascist Matrix where reality and imagination have lost any boundary, and if I had to guess I'd point to that as the main reason they love AI slop. stupidity is the wrong word, but burgerbrained is right. The burger, fries, the Amerikkkan flag have all become fetishes not to a superstitious religious population, but to a population that has embraced religious superstition and anti-intellectualism on the grounds of consumptive identity.

e: also I think they could be re-educated, I dont think its impossible

I keep trying to tell libs this when they keep bringing up how "stupid" maga people are and how the "education system has failed."

Very clearly, they have an ideological commitment to something they feel benefits them.

By removing the source of the superbasis genesis, many of the more beging and salvageable chuds will cease clinging to such behaviors.
