To an extent, yes. Outputs are largely controlled by inputs. I know it's easy to say "well, they're choosing to allow that to be the input!" Are they? A large portion of them grew up in house and/or community where it was beat into them.... day after day. They didn't have the skillset and/or willingness to go on to college or travel outside their own community to see how "the other side" lives.I mean, I get the brainwashed thing, but are we really saying this isn't their fault? This isn't like addiction. It's not a disease. Its stupidity. Brainwashed or not this actually is their fault...
It's much like religion. To a certain extent, it is religion. Why do you think the bulk of christian children grow up to be christian? Why do you think the bulk of muslim children grow up to be muslim? Well, that or non-religious. Sure. People can escape, but even then they typically don't change religion. Same here. These people grew up in a household where Rush Limbaugh (or someone similar) was the voice of politics in their house. It's not necessarily excusing their behavior, it's understanding that a good portion of it is beyond them.

At first I read this as Rush as in the band and when Neil Peart died. I'm just as confused as youI grew up with Rush and going to Presbyterian church. I chugged a beer when he died and now goto a Catholic church (not Catholic though). I also don't understand many of the words posted above

If this is the standard than why don't we say the same thing about racists? Can't blame them. It isn't their fault. They were raised that way.To an extent, yes.

That only works in some cases. In others there are factors that come into play during ones life where the balance shifts from "indoctrinated by family" to "I continue to choose to do this"

Unpopular opinion: racists are that way because that's the way the dice were rolled. Again, inputs and outputs.
Now, with that said, I'll stand by you to say that it is bad, they shouldn't act that way, they shouldn't think that way, they're a drain on society, they're terrible people, etc, etc. But at the end of the day, I don't believe it entirely to be on them. They are who they are, whether it be they're wired that way or were raised that way.

I suppose to put it a different way... I often have to remind myself that I should pity these people more than hate these people.

Influence is a factor for sure but there is definitely a time when they've had a chance and the resources to comprehend reality and they chose to ignore it. Racism. Covid. Whatever. They've had the time and ability to see what's real and what isn't and they are choosing what isn't.

Please do not take this the wrong way... but not everyone has a brain wired like you. Not everyone can jump head first into hardcore beliefs and then change those hardcore beliefs with a snap of their fingers. I know through your life, you've been militant atheist, jewish (I think?), hardcore christian. You've had more than half a dozen careers. You have something in you to just change. Most do not, especially with core beliefs. And that's what we're talking about here.

Militant Athiest? I'll admit to Christian but I've never been athiest. I was born Jewish. The only hardcore belief I've ever had was Christianity.Please do not take this the wrong way... but not everyone has a brain wired like you.
