Based on what they told me yesterday, they have started reading it, maybe a chapter or two in. Throughout my interactions with them over the last year or so, I have steadily gotten them to read Elementary Principles of Philosophy, "Tankies," and now finally they have started Blackshirts and Reds.
Overall, they are your typical anti-communist "progressive liberal," but in the last month or so have been pushing back against anti-Communism. This is genuinely a massive step for them IMO.
Quick hit them with the transgender ray, coup de grace, coup de grace!
My power level isn't high enough, lol
OK, that explains it, at least some libs are willing to learn.
I think most of us were libs at one point, just means we have to deal with that as a challenge to grow.
Nuh uh not me i have never had any reactionary viewpoints I am the one true leftist when jesus said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" he was talking about me (and misgendering me, typical orthodox baptist evangelical catholic protestant, but I forgive him)
Good to hear but lmao very stereotypic "type of guy" behaviour to recommend a book they've only just learned about themselves
I think they've been reading it for a few weeks or whatnot but I only found out a day ago, but they are personally busy right now, which is fair.
if they at least started reading it enough to get a couple chapters in, then a recommendation is valid I think in casual conversation
