Fear
What is the most powerful human emotion? The one that can really make people act? Their behavior can seem utterly inexplicable when they are responding to this emotion. Liberal women can do things that seem completely irrational, leading to the idea that if they were differently informed they would not so behave.
The Basics
Human beings are part of the environment of Sol, on smaller scale Earth, and on smaller scale, the ones you probably know and care about, the West. This environment--the West--operates like a circle, not like a straight line. Think of how insistently some people say that they are "progressives"--the implication is that of line philosophy, not of circle. People often also act like and/or say that they are "saved" from that circle (Jesusians) or "liberal" as to it. Why?
Because of that powerful emotion. See, a circle (think of the Yugas if you want) passes through phases. Take a life for an easy example: if circumstances permit, a life includes birth, adolescence, maturation, senescence, and death.
See the potential for scariness there? If you believe in a brain-generated soul, then Legacy Christianity or Modern Christianity provides for a magical escape clause from the life cycle. Under Jesusianism, you go to Sugarcandy Mountain (equivalent) where Jahweh uses magic to make a non-die forever, and under Bangism you influence the world by partaking in goodness, either embracing/accepting your death or believing that someday technology will free you from that, too (believing that death is a total ending, a void, is an "escape" from the lifecycle; circles never end, they just go 'round'an'round. Delusional fantasy tends to be associated with a special forever-place, just like religion tends to be thought of as including one or more personified godheads).
So many of the quests you have seen are this: trains no eye advocacy, home-oh advocacy, various anti-racisms, globalisms, are all founded on saying, basically, that the life cycle sucks. What happens to a cell that refuses to put up a cell wall? Well, outside entities take its resources and then it dies. What happens to a bloodline that has 999,999 great orgasms and 999,999 close friendships while adopting 999,999 kids, but has no children of its own? It goes extinct.
And so on. No matter how hard you pray, Mother Nature made the rules of the game. The way that Jesusianism postulated a Father God contra Mother Nature is here noted.
Many Europeoids insist they are not part of the life cycle but are alternately situated. They are of course part of the life cycle, being alive, but they're very afraid of the "death" part of the cycle. Subscribing to stories of some phantasmagorical techno- or Jesus-made haven from the lifecycle ("Heaven"), or suicidally being averse to the lifecycle at all, makes ironically that cycle prominent.
Just Lubrication
What happens when you hold a ball out and then let it go? It falls down, right? You have "dropped" that ball. The same thing happens when an environment is cycling. That is why people act so seemingly strangely; so suicidally, damaging and even killing themselves.
When you think about the proverbial liberal or Legacy Christian, it is the same: they are telling themselves they have chosen to behave in certain ways, even think certain things privately, as part of what the environment is doing. It is like if you drop a thinking ball, and it thinks, "It is so good to throw myself against the floor! I am a floor-lover!" No, of course; it's just the immense attraction generated by the components of Earth, e.g. gravity. The ball is not falling down because it has decided to. It is similar with women who don't want to be raped wanting more refugees to live by them--some convoluted theory of why they would engage in autoharm, or some adherence to a ridiculous story about a bad man in red pajamas (Satan) seem the best straws at which to grasp. However, that's like the ball trying to come up with theories about why it's been so down on itself, or imagining some evil corporation that has developed a giant anti-ball machine for some reason. Occam's Razor: the parts of the environment are decaying.
Thinking things--people--behave in certain ways and rationalize what they're doing as things they want to do whatever they do. That is why so many arguments can't be won; why you can't change a person by showing them 30 jillion statistics (yeah, in exceptionally rare circumstances you might run across someone whose mind can be changed, but we're here talking generalities). Think of explaining to a ball, when it is let go, that "down" includes a wood-chipper on a slanted floor, whereas "up" includes a jillion dollars, a ball-shining machine, and whatever else a ball might want. Can you convince the ball to fall up instead?
No! Of course not! That is why people behave the way they do--the things they think about "why" they "decided" to fall down (and how they're made, which is why the exceptionally rare circumstances where you can appear to change someone's mind aren't really that you changed a mind, but more like some old Chinese proverb of the teacher appearing when the student is ready). Jesusianism and Bangism are extravagantly wrong, but people are furiously trying to construct rationales for why things happen. "Jesus wants it that way," "science made it that way," etc.
Of course, it's not quite as obvious what the orc's going to do to the elf-woman once his hair has been fixed to make him look just like a gentleelf as it is obvious what will happen when you drop the ball, but it's pretty obvious. However, if the environment needs to cycle, that includes some of it decaying, and then there's a new one, and so on. She can think she's a supporter of orc's rights up until he forces her knees apart, or maybe even after. After all, Jesus/random--it's the same Christianity--Saviorianity--even though people here have so hyperconceptualized the character of that all powerful, all knowing, invisible first-century rabbi that they tend not to get that being saying you'll be saved from matter and are free of matter is really the same thing.
Inevitable
That's why it's not possible to change what people are. So much relies on the fiction of being able to change minds--to educate/inform someone, to get someone to accept salvation, and so forth. However, suppose you jump off a high building--if there's a pause of a jillion jillion years, and you learn a jillion jillion things about Jesus and/or Saiunce, do you go back to reality and then fall up? No. In the same way, you can't reformat a human body to stop needing some form of matter-disavowal. Test scores won't ever be balanced out; more than a century after U.K. and then U.S. slavery, and then Group B in a rich intact family without a criminal history compared to Group A in a poor single-parent family with an extensive criminal history, and still, still, Group A substantially outperforms Group B.
Same thing with Jesusianism. We've said before, the space shuttle went up, satellite photos are so cheap and widely available now, and yet the people with brains configured for matter-disavowal keep disavowing matter. Trying to get it to change is like trying to get a dropped ball to fall up.
