Conversation I had with an older black friend:

1. Trump will not save Gaza either.
2. The United States was founded on genocide, slavery and is evil by definition.
3. It is in the interest of the oligarchy to have apathetic voters.
4. Third-Party candidates are a waste of time.
5. Biden is the lesser of both evils.
6. It is a moral responsibility to vote for Biden.

I'm not sure how to respond, because I like the guy, but something about older Black boomers defending the Democratic Party makes for difficult conversations.

Ideology is a hell of a drug. Lots of interesting stuff from old school Marxist false consciousness, Althusser's interpellation, the Situationists conception of "the spectacle", Zizek's application of Lacanian psychoanalysis, etc. etc.
