punching nazis doesn't do jack shit
People don't know what they believe in, the only difference is it had more influence back then and actual people to fight against
It's something to do to feel like your not irrelevant
these aren't revolutionary movements that we see people know what they believe, it's just difficult to draw it all together at times
"I'm having a difference!"
sometimes, sure
"I knocked a nazi out!"
but differences can be made, though i agree in the sense that these groups aren't doing so
it's gratification, nothing more
No they don't, even if you find an educated person who isn't entirely indifferent they can likely be convinced to change their beliefs
Provided they aren't radicalised, you mean
Beliefs don't matter, they never did
Actions are the important part
It kind of touches on what I said before
In my experience most people who believe extreme ideologies have shitty lives
poor quality of life provokes radicalisation
They need a radical solution to fix their situation
but for the most part these people do a lone wolf shooting or just sit online whining
the vast majority of people are indifferent
maybe they'll dress in black and go to an antifa event one weekend to own nazis
but they really don't care
nobody is indifferent
it's something to artificially make it seem like your life isn't entirely boring and pointless
they are thoroughly biased on questions regarding their own lives
but in our alienated and industrial society, we have been led to believe that politics is separate from that
Go up to most people, especially younger and ask their beliefs
If they have any, they likely don't even know why
when politics and their lives inevitably come together, they quickly develop beliefs
they'll give a talking point they heard a thousand times and immediately cave
most people, living in an alienated society
a world of factories, of steel, of commodities
in this world, there is no use for beliefs
beliefs don't put food on the table
manifestos don't bring health insurance
but when that world starts to crack, to shear
beliefs become the difference between life and death, and our souls find life once more
people will just believe what the pack around them does
sometimes, but often not
after all, why are mass shootings continuously increasing in frequency?
various reasons
Some people are mental, some use it as a tool to spread manifestos and beliefs, martyrdom
