Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/El Chisme

Very true, but there is always also this: https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/.
It's an all encompassing education, but I do think partly it's also complicity. The reactions are often so emotional and knee-jerk.
It's sort of like Plato's cave. I don't blame them for all sitting there thinking that shadows on the wall are all there is, but when someone leaves and comes back, and tries to describe the alternative, the people shutting them down and calling them a liar are quite responsible for their own wilful ignorance.
