That's the worst part for me. This stuff is so damn easy to disprove, yet people eat it up. It's both a lack of ability to think critically and an unwillingness to. It sucks. I just don't know how people live. I've seen how my liberal friends live, they'll work then go home and watch tv. They just consume, consume, consume, and they're utterly miserable despite filling their homes with plastic junk.

And yet, they are totally hostile to the idea that this isn't a healthy way to live, because this is the "default" in our society. So they have to continue to be miserable, moving from distraction to distraction and keeping their brain switched off as long as possible. Yet the idea that this doesn't have to be the only way fills them with anger and frustration, probably because they don't want to feel like they've "wasted their life" so instead they will guarantee they waste their life by being yet another mindless consumer liberal.
