I don’t wanna. Debates are pointless and they’re not smart enough to process anything I say, so I just say “yeah that sucks” and try and change topics.

    Encouraging Libs to action is just encouraging them to do lib action. Honestly bullying them into being fence sitters is the best you can do, otherwise they’ll want to nuke Tehran in the name of trans rights. The only progress I ever made with Libs in being anti-imperialist was in convincing them that their well meaning actions just fuck things up, getting them to be passive was a victory. You can’t pill them on actual communism because they’re scared of spooky “authoritarian” leaders coming to take their treats away.

      That's fine. Nothing means not vocally supporting the Ukraine and manufacturing consent for NATO involvement. Neutrality on this war is totally acceptable but carrying water specifical in defense of Ukraine and painting Russians as monsters is not only wrong but dangerous. We are trying to stop a fucking war here.
