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!!!

When I first found my way to this corner of the internet and leftism in general, I was attracted at first by the truly caring priorities of leftism, taking care of people, not turning people into useful cogs.

I was put off by all the talk of communism, the USSR, etc, but the more I interacted and spoke with people and read about what I was hearing, the more I realized I was taught to fear these topics, that I was conditioned to believe some things were right, natural, and obvious, and others were evil, unnatural, and sinister

I kept looking into things, reading about what sounded like it couldn't be true (USA's activities meddling in every other nation, especially the ones trying to be socialist, was a big one, but also how they treated their own people like when they actually bombed a black neighborhood because they were becoming too affluent by relying on each other)

Really, just keep doing what you're doing. The thing about leftists is we're correct, so I'm not worried about winning you over this second. As far as I'm concerned, now that you're realizing that maybe there's more to this whole "leftism" thing than youve been lead to believe, I know you're going to figure it out eventually.

Precisely. I don't stress over any interaction with anyone, because I know the truth always goes the distance.

Lies have very short legs, and therefore do not go very far. Time and personal experience will take care of the seeds you have planted, so there's no need to chase after anyone.
