    people genuinely stupid enough to believe nato is defensive in nature have never opened a history book outside of their compulsory schooling

      In fairness, propagandists write books about history too. It is entirely possible for a person that isn’t very curious to pick up “normie” pop history stuff and think they are learning.

        that is true, but frankly i’m willing to put money down on most people who hold patently incorrect beliefs like “nato is a defensive organization” simply being deeply incurious people who have never investigated anything that’s not immediately relevant to their interests

          That’s probably true, but also quite depressing given the prevalence of the deeply ignorant. Hopefully the average person is better than that.

      I believe comments like this are the reason why people want to defederate hexbear.

      Self-opinionated, aggressive and insulting, all in a few lines of comment. I can’t deny there’s an art in there, but not one that makes one like the artist.
