Chuds don't listen. I totally agree we shouldn't mock them for being uneducated or dumb, that's not even their issue. It's willful ignorance. People aren't anti vax or climate change deniers because it wasn't taught in school. They just choose to ignore evidence, and arguments, and reason.

Another prominent example, abortion. They aren't "pro life" because of some educational misunderstanding. They've heard pro choice arguments. That its a bodily autonomy issue, we don't force corpses to give up their organs, etc. That messaging has been out forever. They just choose the emotional "reason" of "b-but its a baaby". They dismiss any education on a fetus, in fact, not being a baby. (do you think my mom is actually going to give a shit if I tell her the machine that you "hear" the heartbeat with just makes that noise up from the electrical pulses? That the "heart" isn't actually pumping blood around as young as they claim a "heartbeat" is detectable in? No, she fucking won't.) They don't care and idk how to make them care.
