      Right. But it doesn’t matter that much that they’re fake problems because people believe in them, and act as if they’re real. So when asked “do you want to vote for nationalized health care / unions / whatever”, some people will say no because of these nonsense reasons.

      Telling them it’s a false conscienceness isn’t going to convince them.

      The main thing, maybe the only thing, that matters is emotion. And that means in-group over out-group. Facts and figures won’t overcome “OUT GROUP BAD”.

      You’d have to get them to see the black/femme/whatever as part of their in-group, and that’s pretty hard.

      I am sorry but i live in a country which is maybe not perfect, but which one is??? I see my taxes in action. Maybe not perfect in the way you imply, heck even as i would like. But corruption is not rempant where i live. It IS possible ;)
