I've pushed myself lately to have conversations with people around difference rather than quietly saying to myself "what a weirdo" -- both to have that dreaded understanding of where the conservatives are coming from but also to verify and reinforce my own understanding.

Honestly, their fans provide a lot of funding. I know people who spend $100 or more a month on their faves, and most of the content creators have thousands of monthly donors. And the more violent the content, the more people donate, and the more money they give.

He's now telling me how easy it is to disprove these videos and I have pointed out the few that I've had to disprove with him (one of a tank in downtown Portland, one of "churches being attacked" that was a Patriot Prayer riot) and he is saying that we will just have to disagree about what's real
