Well, those microcosms do exist. There are entire corners of the internet where the viewpoint that discrimination isn't actually a problem and that the country is totally fine, and anyone who tells you it isn't is just a racist or extremist or whatever themselves. And part of that is because certain buzzwords get overused to the point where the people who are susceptible to those views will start to see them as a joke or an exaggeration, which further makes those corners of the internet believe that they are in the right, and that they're fighting against a real enemy that is actually threatening, idk, the country, or white people, or etc. And the people in those corners of the internet are also an equal mix of actual malicious bigots vs naive people who get sucked in to it because it sounds sort of objectively right if you look at it from the right (wrong) angle.

Plus idk but I'm assuming certain parts of the country which are not as socially progressive do believe that concepts of privilege and inequality and etc are just liberal buzzwords are whatever, so those people will also believe the things Jontron believes, because they genuinely haven't experienced the other side.

Jontron's beliefs, even if they are naive or whatever, can still be harmful if people believe them, because there are people who are way more radical than him who will actually start to believe that shit like the gene pool and immigrants and whatever are a threat and might actually do something about it, so you're not wrong. I guess I just feel like the cure for ignorance is education and not just immediately assuming every ignorant person is malicious? Which is where my posts in this topic are coming from.
