Yeah, but BEFORE you trust a sources, how do you make sure you can trust them?
Let's say I gave you a scientific paper. What will make you trust it or not?
Cancel culture was NEVER really a thing against the right wing. It's a moral panic because you guy can't stand taking responsibility for hurting people.
On the other hand, there is only state censorship here. Seems like you are okay with that.
"Both side has done evil" completely denies the material reality of the world. Reality is more complex.
Let me politically translate what you just said:
"Instead of blaming the side that is perpetuating the violence, let's fight against a simplistic concept made for kids to understand that we shouldn't perpetuate violence"
It's not a both side scenario. There is one NON ethical side that lie, harm, hurt, willingly and another that TRIES to be ethical that try to prevent the other side from doing harm, when though violence if needed.
While there are indeed problems in the mode of action of the left, the problem relies in the danger of authoritarism first. But on the right, it's a completely different matter, the problem relies in the DIRECT VALUE SYSTEM. A value system that directly hurts people. A value system that is not shared only by the extremist of the right, but by the entire rightist spectrum to different degrees of power.
The literal opposite happened. He got a front page everywhere. His candidacy was accepted BECAUSE it was seen and portrayed as joke.
Let's stop looking at democrats and republican as "the two side". They are both on the conservative side.
It will never be possible. It took me multiple YEARS to go from his point to where I'm at politically. And it was while completely being aware that I needed to change.
At best I think it's something possible in a few month IF (and only IF) he is REALLY willing to listen to me, which he is not. The more that I can do in 10 day is try to make him doubtfull of his own biases and belief. But again, it would require him to be open minded and not completely reject what I have to say like before.
But you know.. he is not really far from being a leftist, just like Van (but for different reasons). I guess you could even say that the only thing missing for Monster is the self-questionning. The acceptance of the fact that he has biases created by his material condition of existence.
Things like denying the reality of racism while being racialized himself is kind of a big denial in my opinion.

Here for exemple, he a case of denial of reality. A documented reality that is labelled as "more complicated than they need to be".
It would be like me having that kind of discussion:
Me : "Oh! I get it, so gravity is attracting the object together"
A scientist : "It's actually a bit more complex than that, gravity distords spacetime which make object "fall"
Me: "you are making thing more complicated than they need to be"
