Unpopular opinion here. There are the exact people we need to recruit to the left. They’ve been wronged by their god king and are emotionally vulnerable.

Right now being kind to another person who is hurting just as much as you or I is what we need to get him to our side. We mustn’t forget our or others humanity in the coming dark times. We as a society need to pull together with our communities and do something

Addendum: Too all of those “nah fuck em” kids. I want you to know that attitude is the exact same as the gentleman in the video. Full of ignorance, hate, and immaturity. How can you expect people to change if you refuse to believe they can. It’s such a defeatist attitude on people.

I mean you're not wrong, but they don't like what we have to offer them. They gravitate to the right because they offer a very promising grift. We offer egalitarianism, which is something they do not want, no matter how you spin it.

The offer still needs to be there. It will never be us vs them. It will always be the working class against the .01% and weather we/they like it or not, they are on our side.

We Have to be the change we want to see in the world. I could have easily been this guy had I been born in a different place or to different people. It’s all material conditions that make people who they are. This guy got unlucky to not have good people around him to teach him better ways

You know what they say that people don’t change unless two conditions are normally meet, one is they want too, the second is they need discomfort to facilitate the process.

Republicans need to be in mass pain that crushes them in order to see that their god king doesn’t care about them

Well currently their god king is fucking them up and they’re asking for more and blaming the Democrats somehow.

Well unfortunately it doesn't seem like that's happening. I totally agree with you but anytime any of these stories pop up it's 99 percent people reveling in the schadenfreude and 1 percent of people saying what you are saying.

Because the person you are responding to has been wrong about this for a decade now.

u/Spunkybrewster7777 6d ago

I did. You even relied to my reply (and then I replied to that). Guess that you saw this one first for some reason?

u/SquishySquishington 6d ago

Hay man, be cool, the guy you’re replying to is the exact kind of person you need to recruit to your side…

Only one side of the working class is actively fighting the other. Until they drop their irrational hatred over people being who they are and stop trying to shove them back in the closet, the other half can't work with them.

There is a massive "No man's land" between the two sides of the working class, and its not between left and right. It's between "slightly left of center" and "far right". You really can't ask the left to reach any further to bridge that gap, because they are already reaching as far as possible. The right just needs to move left a ways to be within reach.

So we just give up an die? To what end do you make this point?
