What do you think needs to happen for them to stop being attracted to the hate?
I've seen a similar thing: rural people talking about all sorts of progressive ideas like UBI, student debt relief, and other policies for helping others (sometimes without even knowing that they're talking about progressive ideas) yet always go back to "immigrants this" or "elites that".

I wonder if the guy who lived as a goat for a few days has goat dreams...

Moi aussi j'ai vue l'article genre on vous a volé votre vie : avant on pouvait faire vivre une famille de 5 avec un seul salaire, être proprio d’une maison et être confortable mais je l'ai pas du tout compris comme ça. Peut-être je suis naïf mais je l'ai compris comme pourquoi que même avec 2 salaire aujourd'hui on ce sens tellement pauvre?. Mais après j'ai lu vos commentaire, ça ce peut que j'ai pas lu entre les lignes assez originalement...

That's a great point. I was being kind of reductive.

Perhaps religion's most zealous followers tend to be people who have trouble contextualising information? That would certainly help explain why the "I got mine proceeds to pull up ladder " attitude is so prevalent there...
Anyway, I don't want to come across like I'm arguing with you.

I wonder if the concept of religion itself is conservative or if it just attracts that kind of person? My understanding is that most religions' holy texts are effectively just guide books on how not to be a dick to others (not that religious people actually read them that way). I wish someone would do a study to explore this cognitive dissonance in more depth

As someone who always has a lot of questions (and is generally clueless about most of -waves hands- this stuff), I appreciate people like you

Au Québec, we already parlent franglais donc ce n'est pas a problem for nous! 😉
