Which we should see as an excellent radicalization and growth opportunity!
It can be exhausting explaining ourselves again and again, always met with the same accusations and assumptions born from the mythos spun by our enemies.
However, we must remember these people are people, and many people change their minds given enough information, delivered with firm respect. For every belligerent person who appears like they wouldn’t change their mind for anything, there are 10 people quietly lurking who are more on-the-fence. Even those who regurgitate insults and contempt may change their mind when the stars align!
These people are not our enemies, they are victims to the greatest campaign of dishonesty in human history! It is our duty to draw out the poison and deliver the medicine!
I know many comrades here have very difficult lives and do not have the patience or energy to deal with such people. Please do not exhaust yourself interacting with liberals, and allow comrades with more energy to deal with them.
Radicalizing online is not the end-all be-all, but at this point in the psychological war for those within the Anglosphere, every victory is invaluable!!!
Ah okay!
Fwiw you may get some pushback on Centrism here, because a lot of us see politics differently than simply a matter identities and ideals, like most Americans seem to. We’re more interested in who owns what and who has power, more along the lines of classical economists like Adam Smith and Marx.
For example there’s no central point between a master and an enslaved person (the material reality), their material interests are mutually contradictory. Similarly, we don’t think there’s any Centrism to be found between working people and elites, at least no real one. What’s good for them is bad for us, and vise versa.
Ah I see. Well, to me, I tend to stay neutral when I am confused about something or if I’m used to something. Western influcened things are just so common. I hope you can understand that its hard for me, an American born and raised teenager to understand this whole rack of new information that goes against everything I’ve ever known.
I completely understand! It’s good to stay neutral about things you aren’t sure about, I respect that.
You bring up a good point, about western influenced things being dominant. We all start off with some core assumptions that are taught to us by the society we grow up in. It’s good to examine those assumptions at some point, because they may be limiting. If you happen to have any questions, feel free to ask!
