Perhaps not a topic for /b, but what the hell. Perhaps you can offer some input or advice?
I'm in the sciences. My views tend to be rather center-left leaning. However, I have family that are far right. They have very strong opinions and use a lot of associative reasoning. Some of them are conspiracy theorists. They had trouble finding work because they wouldn't get the COVID vaccine. Personally, I actually think it's rather sad. I don't know how to help someone like that. I introduced them to the basics of deductive and inductive reasoning.
I think the most reprehensible thing that I heard them say was when they asked about my view on abortion. I told them that I am pro choice. I think it's better to grant the right for those in need rather than to deny the right entirely. They said that if a little girl gets graped and pregnant, then rather than getting an abortipn, she should carry to term, endore a 9 month pregnancy, and give birth to the child of a grapist. Growing up I suspected that they were narcissists or psychopaths.
Anyway, any advice or insights?
