    Right Wingers: left wingers just thrive on fear mongering. Also we should be scared about the flood of immigrants coming into the country and the government trying to kill us with vaccines

    Is this some kinds of “moderate” “memes”? The desire to protect the status quo is strong with this one.

    I wouldn’t even say it’s projection so much as it is just ableism, elitism, and condescension toward emotions (reminiscent of patriarchal thinking). If we flip it and take it as projection, people on the morally correct side of history aren’t inherently “better thinkers” or don’t react to fear, nor are they necessarily being way more diligent with their sources as individuals. The problems and solutions are much more systemic than that; people are influenced by propaganda but are also influenced by their personal circumstances and the inertia and enforcement of systems. Individualism is a misleading framework for understanding the world.
