    And it also wasnt you until you suffered a personal tragedy that.made you reevaluate your stance. Because that is what it sounds like.

    Generally, people change their mind from in group pressure, or trauma. That’s really it. Facts from the out-group won’t do it. Looks like a bit of trauma shook the author up here.

      I mean, I like to think I’m open to changing my mind when I find out something I said or believe is called incorrect.

      I dont need in-group cuz im basically not part of any group that has that kind of discourse/structure supporting that and yeah trauma can happen to anyone and make them want to avoid it recurring

      They didn’t care until some in their in group suffered. Only once it actually entered their bubble did it start to matter. But it still only matters because it’s effected their world directly. It didn’t really make them care about others.
