Everyone has different skills. Some are good at thinking, and spend enormous amounts of time at improving that skill. Others... don't. Which would be fine, if they weren't the ones in charge - e.g. claiming to be Pro-Life while killing people.
If you are interested and haven't done this deep dive yet, Innuendo Studios' The Alt-Right Playbook goes into imho the perfect amount of depth to explain so much about how people fall for such logical traps. And Ian Danskin is a fucking international treasure - his other series on e.g. Protagony I cannot recommend highly ~~though~~ (edit: WHAT, I meant to say ENOUGH - I cannot recommend it highly ENOUGH! It is a freaking AWESOME video!!!).
Anyway, my unasked-for thought is that I would guess that you feel frustrated bc you have unrealistically high "expectations" of them. Lower them - they simply are not capable of doing what you can do, and while yes a good deal of that is choice/nurture, a lot of it is innate/nature as well.
Ofc, do what you want and more importantly feel how you wish, but I hope this suggestion helps!:-)
It feels like you really shoehorned that excuse for an Alt-Right Playbook reference into a thread it really has no business being in, but imma upvote it anyway because it's just that important.
It’s weird how much it fits. I’m glad they did shoe-horn it in because my very first thought was about how conservatives keep yammering on and on about how x, y, or z doesn’t work while doing everything in their power to make sure that it’s as broken and half-assed as possible. All they do is moan about things they broke not working and the only solutions they ever come up with are the ones that don’t require them to think.
It’s easy to throw something broken in the garbage and it takes curiosity and skill to diagnose and fix the thing. Why learn, understand, and better your life when you can throw a tantrum instead?
