It's like the bullshit asymmetry principle. You can spend months working on a conservative, getting them to trust you, and nudge their world-view from "hateful" to "iffy". Meanwhile, they half-watch fox news for an hour and are ready to put {out-group} into a death camp.

It sucks. It feels unfair. Why do we have to do all this work when they're the fuckups?

    I do it because I work with them every day and, if you've seen me around Lemmy enough, I can't keep my mouth shut.

    I wouldn't work on these people unless they were in my family, coworkers, or otherwise.
