Comment on Unconventional strategy.
thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 17 hours agoWhat you’re saying makes no sense… you drawing an equivalence from the existence of an objective reality to some people controlling how that reality is perceived. If anything, you gotten it all flipped around: If reality is subjective (which itself is absurd) then any interpretation of it is equally valid. In that case, anyone is free to believe in their own reality, regardless of the objective facts that prove them wrong. This is basically what’s going on with the MAGA movement: A bunch of people deciding that “reality is what I want it to be”, and acting based on “alternative facts” in complete disregard for the objective, observable, facts around them.

The MAGA people are realists. They believe that they are thinking and acting in alignment with objective reality. You and I can think they’re wrong, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t realists. When it comes to the question of objective reality, they’re on your side, not Mine. They don’t think their perceptions are subjective. They don’t think gender and race are social constructs. They don’t take responsibility for their perceptions like I do.
You’re making the mistake of conflating being wrong with being a subjectivist. Have a serious think, you believe they think gender is a subjective social construct? Not a chance!
