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!!!

    Do you have any theoretical or historical questions on your mind?

    People here are usually being pretty sincere unless they are doing a parody of a liberal. No one is ironically pretending to support the Khmer Rouge or Gonzolites, we either criticize them or say nothing. Support for the DPRK is sincere.

      Not at this time. Thank you for the offer. As I implied (or tried to?) I am mostly a lurker and generally only engage in serious threads when I have a question or viewpoint that I believe is outside the usual threads of discussion. I am happy to learn from you all through osmosis at this time. Maybe in the future, when I have intelligent questions to ask, I will take you (and others) up on the offer in the appropriate forum.

      Speaking of, I also believe in keeping threads mostly on-topic so wouldn’t want to change the course of this post’s discussion too drastically (though, it is happening naturally, and you offered, so certainly not strictly opposed to it. Just trying to keep the internet tidy, futile as that is).

      Once again, thanks for your earnest offer - and the detail you added.

        Please don’t worry too much about this, even on hexbear I’ll ask a good faith question out of plain ignorance and get an honest response.

        Like you said, this thread is about you! We want to help educate folks as best we can and a lot of users have read a ton of theory and love to educate others.
