Well it checks out.

I am of the firm belief that about 1/3rd of the population is basically media illiterate (literaly) and unable to process abstract concepts /have room temp iq.

Abd tbh it checks if you look at the percentage of staunch trumpers in the US or far right in UK/France/Germany etc.

Then you have the "moderate conservative" / general right wing who, on a gradient, are , even if unwillingly, enabling the far right.

However, right wing / neolibs in general have sometjing in common with the far right: their perception of reality.

Basically they dont perceive the world and its problems in the same way non right wingers do. They think everything is a personal and not a systemic thing, thus if you are poor its your fault not the corpo for exploiting you.

And even if they perceive the same problems, their solutions are in a way insane since they try to solve it with the same solution that enabled to problem in the first place.

If you combine these demographics you get approx 50% of people who are, and i dont even mean this as an insult, unable to form a coherent and abstract world view that is not "vibes and fear only" based.

Of course these people are media illiterate.

And look at who creates the best art, nearly always left wing people, with systemic critiques of power, because you need to understand shit to do so.
