I used to be a black bloc protestor too. 1999 in Seattle WTO, I was there. What is going on right now is nothing new. The only thing that is different is that the mainstream politics and corporate overloads have embraced it. They know they are exposed it has made them desperate. They are hiding behind the mob right now.
I actually learned about how capitalism worked because I wanted to figure out how to defeat it. But the thing is the more I learned the more I realised I was full of shit and that the actual route through the evils I was seeing (Globalism, Inequality, the concentration of the media into very small groups of people), was not less America but more.
The more educated I became the more right wing I leaned. This is not new either. Reality smacks you in the face once you start having to pay your taxes and figure out how to own a home or care for your child lol. Point is a lot of these people will wake up once day and they will be pissed once they realize how they were used.
I commend you on the positive outlook you have for liberal NPCs. I was too once on the brainwashed camp. And you are right, it is possible to shake off the conditioning. It is extremely difficult tough. It requires a commitment to the truth over anything else.
Most people are incurious and don't want to know the truth -- because is harsh.
The lie people love most is that they love the truth.
This is not true

Thank you for making an argument.
