You have to realize the populace has been conditioned to not only accept socialism, but long for it.
My older brother, who I always looked up to and thought to be a bright man, thinks government is the answer.
Obviously, my opinion of his intelligence has changed. But if I dropped that bomb at Christmas, it would be nothing but a fight.
We are in a war, after all, so I wouldn’t let the prospect of a fight dissuade you from at least attempting to enlighten your brother by challenging his unexamined assumptions. You might be surprised at the results. But each of us has to make that call based on our own circumstances. I wish you well.
” But if I dropped that bomb at Christmas, it would be nothing but a fight.”
You and all the rest of us.
