These situations are set up by people who make entirely false and unfounded assumptions about populations based on their personal ideology.
We saw it when the Taliban took over Afghanistan too. "But you guys are going to be woke and stuff, right?" "No, we're the Taliban."
Completely disconnected from reality.

It's cool, because this time we're the good guys.
I mean, every other time they thought they were the good guys too, but this time we'll certainly be correct.

When you're deciding medical decisions, you have to legitimately consider "Do nothing" as a treatment option.
The literature I reviewed on this topic suggests that if you do nothing in the teenage years, by adulthood an overwhelming majority of people exhibiting symptoms are cured. In that situation, any given treatment must do better than "do nothing", and significantly so.

Growing up, I heard "good news! You arent going to be shackled to a marriage, a home, a car, kids!"
I grew up sure I'd never buy a house, never get married, never have kids.
Well it turns out I kind of like being shackled to those things. In particular, my life has specific holes in it for my wife and my son that I didn't realize how much I needed them.
And my wife, she has similar holes that are neatly filled by me and our son. She was born to be a mom, and I saw her fill that void with pets, or by coddling adults who were the cause of all their own problems. Until he was born, then she became a mom, and it changed her life.
When something has been a truism for virtually all of human history, sometimes it's good because it's a long con, but often it's because that thing has worked for a very long time and trying to change it doesn't really make any sense.

"we've told them since they were babies 'dont touch me, don't talk to me, don't look at me' and now they don't touch us, don't talk to us, don't look at us! How rude of them!"
One of the hardest things I ever had to do as an engineerish sort was understanding that while you can calculate the volume of a tank, you can't calculate the mathematically perfect method of living.
>To be charitable to Jews, one could say that Christianity and Judaism have "a common ancestor in the religion of the old testament Israelites".
Ah, I see now. That fits.

Fully agreed.
Trigun is one of my favorite animes of all time, and it has heavy christian themes. Fine, great. But that doesn't mean I want to watch some crappy Christian movie where the characters break out into sermons every 5 minutes during the time I want to be entertained.
Likewise, there are lots of good works with progressive themes, but they're good works first.

While it is true that "original contention", holy shit is that a bee? Wow oh no it's right there better look it's about to land on you (switches the paper) in conclusion, no the moon is not made out of cheese, idiot.
A lot of people only know cherry picked bible passages. They know one bit of Leviticus, but they don't know that Leviticus is part of the Torah, one of the books of the Hebrew bible. They don't realize that Christianity is an extension of Judaism that had profound effects on the faith, including fundamentally changing the way earlier books need to be interpreted. They also don't realize that Islam is a third redefinition of Judaism, and unlike Christianity which modified but fundamentally accepted previous works, Islam believes their new prophet has provided them with an all new, all perfect, all overriding prophecy that must be directly, completely, and literally obeyed. Therefore people try to use Judaism or Christianity to convince Muslims on theological matters which doesn't work at all.
If you didn't realize these things, then you might think each faith is hypocritical because they don't all follow Judaism exactly, where each faith may have a common basis but fundamentally diverges thus leading to much different conclusions.
I must admit, it's only recently that I've come to understand my own ignorance of all 3 faiths. Thinking I'd learned everything there was to know through cultural osmosis, I've now been on a slow march down Dunning-Krueger hill.
