Most don't, because our education system was designed to not teach us those things so that we'd easily fall for lies like "raising minimum wage causes inflation". I don't think ignorance or falling for propaganda should be considered irredeemable sins. If they're acting like a jackass, screeching that their podcast proved it true or whatever, then it's not worth giving them any amount of time, but if someone's willing to listen, I think it's always worth at least planting a seed in their mind that they might look into on their own someday.

Everyone gets so defensive around political disagreements because we're all used to being at each other's throats, but I've found that people are more willing to listen if I take the approach of explaining instead of persuading. I'm not necessarily trying to win anyone over with a single conversation, I'm just explaining what I've learned. If they disagree then that's that, nothing good comes from trying to change someone's mind who doesn't want to change it, but most people will remember conversations where they were treated respectfully, and sometimes they start doing their own research when they don't feel like they're under attack.

That is a very widespread belief because it's very widely taught. And if people aren't taught otherwise, then they're gonna go through life believing the falsehoods that they were taught. And if they don't ever encounter anyone else who can teach them that there's no correlation between a rising minimum wage and inflation, then you've gotta be the one who's able to explain it to them. Otherwise, how do they ever find out that that's not true?

Read "The State and Revolution" and then find your local socialist organization to help build mutual aid and alternative infrastructure so we can create a dual-power struggle to replace the gerrymandered rigged cheating bullshit system where your phone calls and letters are ignored. The next time they throw a No Kings parade, instead of marching in a circle and then going home, go talk to one of the organizations with a booth or table set up. If there's not organizing in your town, then they're in the nearest big city to you.

makes me thing that russia actually has good reason and EU does not want us to see that

My brother in Christ, it is only twenty minutes long.

This video's a good introduction on how that country's reported on and how easy it is for misinformation to spread, even through mainstream sources.

From what I've experienced here, it's just ego and not being able to handle hearing that another country might be better at something than America. I don't know how well known the burning of the original president's house even is here. I've only ever heard it talked about a handful of times, and always as a random bit of history trivia from a long time ago, I've never seen anyone get upset about it. But I've watched right-wing Americans get very defensive around the topic of Canadian healthcare my whole life. "That's communism, it doesn't work, did you know that Canadians pay half their salary in taxes and whatever other made up bullshit about Canada that Fox News told me." Narcissists don't like hearing that someone else is better at something than them and would rather start attacking than defending their position.
