A 2019 study by the “More in Common” project found “the more educated a person is, the worse their Perception Gap” their distorted view of and tendency to attribute extreme positions to those on the “other side.” But the “one critical exception” is that it applies only to Democrats, not Republicans.

Destroying functional white society is the whole point of being a leftist or liberal. Seems they preemptively already made that decision.

Bold assumption. Ironic that you should feel that way, meanwhile destroying our democratic government seems to be the current agenda for the right, or rather loyal-to-the-narcissist side. Is it wrong to want a society that functions for everyone? Or do you believe, zero-sum fashion, that to be functional for white people requires that society be dysfunctional for everyone else? Asking for a friend.

Classic redditor reply.

I am sincerely interested to know your answer to the question.

Which question? I'm seeing:

destroying our democratic government

the current agenda for the right

or rather loyal-to-the-narcissist side

a society that functions for everyone

to be functional for white people requires that society be dysfunctional for everyone else

Topped off with the reddit classic: "Asking for a friend", snark.

All of this is obviously pure troll. The way this appears is that you've spent too much time on reddit to continue being a functional human being.

Two question marks denote two questions, which are two phrasings of the same piece of curiosity: Sincerely, do you believe that to be functional for white people, society must be dysfunctional for everyone else?
