Why is it so hard for people to understand that there can be more than one cause of an issue?

[–] Donkter 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah. It's a very small group of some of the richest educated capital holders swindling the relatively very large group of ignorant yokels.

[–] TrickDacy 5 points 8 months ago

Well yes, but also the "them educated people are dumb as shit" idea is very real and doesn't need to be taught. probably goes back over 100 years now. I've heard my own family spout shit like that. It's not necessarily even stupidity in every case, it's just the idea that "you're not better than me" taken to an extreme
