progressives are starting to reckon with the idea that there could be 50-200M illegals in this country.
Right now they're mostly trying to say 8CW is stupid or has no idea what he is talking about

@sickburnbro >if it was real, why no one talked about it? Well except for evil Nazis, but it only proves that its false!
I had a lot of arguments with relatives, with "if it was true, it would be on TV" as the only counter argument.

@Marakus it's very frustrating, but I like to think of it as these are good people who had faith in a system that it would tell them the truth.
Most normies are people who the system keeps too busy to devote their limited mental energy to digging into bullshit.

I have to disagree, the system has them figured out which is why they're normies, call it a moral failing or whatever but most people are just content to vibe with the current regime

@MoralPanic @Marakus You should talk to those people then. Very few of them have been actually content, the liberal ones will lie, so you have to be coy - but I think unless you are straight up stealing with help from the government, people aren't happy.

@sickburnbro Its more insane, when you argue against it with "do you believe what you just said" and the answer is "no".

@Marakus sure, that means they wish it was that way, but know it isn't - but have no obvious offramp

@gucciloafers @Marakus I think back in the early 1800s when the system wasn't trying to force everyone to work 80 hours a week, men understood that voting was important and were willing to put in a little bit of effort to stay informed.
Nowadays though, the system generates tons of bullshit "content" which you have to wade through in order to be "informed" in the same way.
It's fake and gay the way most modern jobs are.

@sickburnbro @Marakus This is also why democracy as it's presented to us is fake and gay, because very few people will spend the time and energy to be an amateur philosopher, economist etc.
