I'm trying to think about my path toward coming around to leftism (Jon Stewart kind of started my interest in questioning the political status quo, Chapo Trap House similarly, I guess I like political "comedy"?). Can whatever your path was be replicated for friends? Can we make it 'fun?'
I was reading that stickied askchapo about organizing, and the old guys who probably most considered the boss their friend were the most aggressively anti-union. Maybe focus on connection, community, friendship, and trust, then ease into lefty ideas.
Or capitalize on anger with things (the Fox News approach), and it's connection to capitalism.

I got more radicalized by Chapo memes (was on that path, but it made me more explicit).
This site is alright, but it's not nearly as fun as the chapo sub could be. So much more serious in tone than it needs to be, IMO.
oh yeah, i think maybe reddit drama turned me onto chapotraphouse the subreddit before the podcast, haha
