Met with friends lately, and I was actually able to convince one of my friends of some of my opinions. He's an apolitical but actually right wing worker. We were talking about the trade war and I said we should more trade with countries others than the USA. He agreed. When I asked if he's in favour of better relations with China, he was unsure. I then said that China will try to leave you alone while the US forces you into agreements that mostly benefit them. He saw my point and agreed.
I asked him a while later if he thinks that socialism is better than capitalism, and after a little thinking he agreed.
At the end of the meetup colonial reparations were brought up, don't remember why. He said that colonial reparations are useless since former colonies are independent now amd should develop themselves. I talked to him about neocolonialism and used Indonesia as an example of western countries and companies still controlling their former colonies and stealing the wealth. He was unsure of that. I then talked about how some countries try to stop the neocolonialism and try to develop their own country first to make the lives of their citizens better. I used Burkina Faso and their mines as an example.
A little while later, he came to me and said, actually I think you're right.
I also remember a couple months ago when we were talking about Ukraine and he thought that Putin started the war and that he did so because he was afraid of losing support. I told him that I think it was because of geopolitics and that Russia felt threatened by increased military presence at its border. He thought I made a good point and that he hadn't thought about that.
I think he's the friend that is the most willing to become a socialist. An other friend of mine is apolitical and never wants to talk about politics even if the conversation is about it. He was completely quiet during my discussion with this friend. And another friend is a right winger with racist views. He did listen but didn't seem to be convinced by my arguments. I also really want to call him out for his racist views but didn't dare to do it.
Where is this?

i got shown this post by "blackmillionaires" in instagram and its the worst thing ive ever seen 😂
It was abt a black girl boasting her 7figure salary, can you guess what she worked in?
My guess: she started ~~on onlyfans~~ as an actress and now she is a ~~pimp for porn~~ adult film producer.
There's this right wing Dutch subreddit that is circlejerking itself so hard that it is unironically becoming more left by the day. It's fascinating to see. Like they are hating in minorities so hard sometimes that for some reason they sway away from the hate somehow. Like, it's as if it is too much hate and it needs to balance itself out sometimes.
Go in there and start ranting about how immigration is bad because it takes the most educated and motivated people away from underdeveloped nations which makes them continue to be dependant on the first world instead of being able to support themselves.
I have found myself to be a campaigner for unemployed people lately because the government reforms will strip them (and us) from their rights of benefits after a certain amount of time.
I can tell you that it might be easier campaigning for 100% vegan communisme than it is to say that these people deserve to exist too lol. Might as well consider them non human if you believe the mainstream opinion.
But you don't need to be an overly sympath to see that stripping thousands of people of their only safety net income will be a disaster.
'JUST FIND A JOB THEN REEEE' Yeah, if only it were that easy, right?
Like, YOU are closer to unemployment than you think. And then I will also have to tell YOU that no, after x months of benefits you can basically go get fucked. And then people will realise hopefully.
If unemployment wasn't so uncomfortable and hard less people would be applying for positions and that would make wages for the employed go up.
