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!!!

      you should read about it before you write it off. if you’ve never heard the story, October by China Mieville is very easy to read and will show you what people were thinking and feeling as it happens. as for what came next, I recommend Blackshirts and Reds by Parenti.

      what do you mean you stay at the border of things something is either right or it isn’t why are you just believing what you think is the middle of other people’s beliefs

      Can you please tell me what the actual difference is between Democrats and Republicans (besides Dems being less overtly hateful)

      Edit: To clarify, I’m talking about actual implemented policy
