How so? It's certainly been the dream of the "elite intellectual left" that they can counter blunt, misleading propaganda from the right with carefully crafted arguments refuting the disinformation. The problem is that such arguments inherently fall on deaf ears. The intended audience recoils instinctively at carefully crafted intellectual arguments. Parent poster has come to the horrible, but well reasoned, conclusion that the solution instead is dumbed down propaganda of the same quality but with a different message.
It's amusing because the commenter writes that there's a huge amount of the population who can't handle nuance, and then writes them off as never being able to change. Which is a statement without any nuance, just a gross dismissal of a large ill-defined subset of the population.
Though not themselves, because they consider themselves as the elite who must somehow save the world by trickling out Voltaire memes.
Somehow I doubt you're laughing. You're taking a shot at me without elaborating.
But to reciprocate, although nuts and bolts have informed my opinion, I was indeed writing about broad patterns, something I'm aware that low empathy people on the autistic spectrum struggle with. My comment wasn't for you, Jared.
See my other comment, I actually did laugh. Your comment dismisses a large portion of the population for not being able to understand nuance, while completely lacking nuance in the gross dismissal of an ill-defined portion of the population.
And it's irrelevant whether you feel the comment was for me or not. Put it in a forum I can't read next time.
I imagine the prevalence and contagiousness of QAnon must be a difficult thing for you to grasp. But looking down on people, that's bad. That's the thing we should be fixated on. Good job buddy, you're the picture of nuance. If words without autistic handholds and the world at large becomes too much for you, I anticipate you'll find a safe space in /r/aspbergers. Unfortunately, me and my mean words are staying right here.

In your previous comment, I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. That you were not, in fact, using autism as an insult. Thank you for showing I was wrong and not "looking down on people", good job showing the world the way to the future.
This entry in your list is rather hilarious with the rest of your comment. A lack of nuance throughout.
