@art_codesmith @cararemixed @datarama This sounds 100% like people who reason their way to the idea they like -- say, that women are lesser because society has developed to put them in a lesser position so that must be correct, or that the people with all the money are objectively the best because if they weren't they wouldn't have all the money -- and refuse to push past that to the *actual* reasons beyond those answers that would make them truly uncomfortable.

Or, these are the people who watched Evangelion and wanted to be Gendo Ikari.
