I am highly educated and reasonably perceptive, and it was only today that I learned the Kyle Rittenhouse victims were white. My progressive bubble made this seem like a very different case than it is.

Just how is the case different, Sarah Beth? Rioters attack and threaten the life of an individual. The person attacked defends his own life with deadly force. What difference does the race/skin color/etc of any of the parties make?

“I am highly educated and reasonably perceptive, and it was only today that I learned the Kyle Rittenhouse victims were white.”

The adjective she’s looking for is ignorant.

It does show the Ministry of Truth propaganda machine’s effectiveness.

“Highly educated” meaning highly indoctrinated into leftist thought.

Here’s more:

Let me add a few points-
1. All my friends/family are progressively and I recently woke up to their hyocrisy and msm BS
2. I admit I haven’t paid much attention to the case
3. If you hear someone called a white supremacist enough times, you believe it unless…

I guess she’s having an epiphany.

She dropped the course on Critical Thinking. Oh, sorry, that's not taught anymore.

There can be a vast difference between wisdom and truth vs. well educated

Sorry Sarah, but you may wanna seriously re-evaluate your “reasonably perceptive” claim, because you missed the mark on that one by a dozen or so miles

Being highly educated means nothing. All one had to do was look at the news or Hodgornid read a paper

You’re highly MIS-educated, and not at all perceptive. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be leftist scum.

Dunning Kruger effect

“The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their own capabilities.”

https://www.verywellmind.com/an-overview-of-the-dunning-kruger-effect-4160740

I see LOTS of this on the internet - from both sides. And sometimes even from me, sad to say. But once I see it in me, it is no longer in effect, by definition.

Sarah, tell all your lib friends they have drank the ‘blue-aid’ and their only hope is Carville’s ‘Detox’ program.
Reasonable whatever... you don’t have enough critical thinking skills to see the absolute dissolution of credibility in MSM.

Highly educated does not mean smart. I’ve known some Ph.D.s that were pretty dumb. Maybe her “education” was in Women’s Studies?

Why? The kid shot some people, and the circumstances make it either justifiable or not. The melanin content of the guys that got shot has nothing to do with anything.
