I thought the Arab Spring taught us that Social Media isn't the be all and end all. Mass media was hyping the Arab Spring as the first "social media revolution", Mubarak was ousted, but the Army took over and then Morsi. Occupy Wall Street was the biggest leftist movement in America, maybe this will ignite something similar, but this time for fucks sakes, don't let another Dem sheepdog like Sanders or AOC lead the masses back to the Dems.
That's got nothing to do with it. As citizens of the biggest force of imperialism in the world, the PA and what they do is who you should be looking at.
Ok but imagine for a moment that someone is getting radicalized because of the shit health insurance industry. How does immediately jumping to talking about Palestine help that radicalization process? Guide them to groups that combine the Palestinian struggle with more broad based workers struggles. Start with the issues that effect their immediate material conditions and work outward from there by encouraging education and involvement in the org

If we lived in Nazi Germany would you be trying to radicalize people to join a political party or to get involved in direct action?
If?
