The lack of empathy here makes me sad. Living with someone who has been sucked into one of these propaganda machines is horrifying, and trying to coax them out of it is nearly impossible. It's not just arguing about it, it's them bringing these things up constantly, unprovoked, when nobody else is interested in talking about it. It consumes them, and it's incredibly hard to get past.
