Americans on this board show the backfire effect in full force

"A similar cognitive bias found in individuals is the backfire effect, in which individuals challenged with evidence contradictory to their beliefs tend to reject the evidence and instead become an even firmer supporter of their initial belief"

It is hilarious watching these right wing Americans argue against what everyone else in the world already knows.

"WAAAH THIS IS ALL COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA"

As the famous saying goes (well famous to anyone who has a basic grasp of history and sociology): Our fear that communism might someday take over most of the world blinds us to the fact that anti-communism already has. – Michael Parenti

I really think you Americans should perhaps open a history text book once in your lives. The stuff presented in this documentary we were taught here in PRIMARY SCHOOL.

A book written for children, by one of your fellow Americans may help you:
Lies my teacher told me: Everything your American history textbook got wrong. - James W. Loewen

Or how about a book we read in "Junior high" here:
Killing Hope: US and CIA military interventions since World War 2. - William Blum

I can't believe I have to actually recommend books that children here study to you Americans. Holy hell.

Actually, I really have to ask, do you Americans even know what Communism is? Go on explain it and it's theories without consulting Wikipedia.
I will even give you a C+ straight off the bat if you don't bring up the hilariously ignorant "Communism doesn't work because of human nature" strawman. (anyone with a incredibly basic understanding of philosophy and sociology knows there is no such thing as "Human nature" and that humans adapt to material conditions they live in)
