One difference between Putin and Hitler is that Hitler didn't kill ethnic Germans, German-speaking people.Putin slaughters the very people he said he has come to liberate. pic.twitter.com/fMr9dTZipF— Maddow Blog (@MaddowBlog) March 12, 2022
Hot take but I feel like a certain type of chud is easier to convert than a liberal. Americans have no coherent political ideology, and the chud at least acknowledges that something is wrong.
It feels that way. Chuds recognize there's a problem but their solution is fascism. At baseline you can agree that things are broken, but you need to strip away the capitalism brainworms. Libs are true believers and think everything is fine or if there's a problem, it's Russia's fault.
It’s a bit different because my dad’s views were always very humanistic, just with a religious and paternalistic tinge before that he eventually outgrew. I think he always had empathy and just grew up in rural Idaho so had a lot of ideological conditioning to work through.
Fash are not nearly as wholesome. Sorry to say, but they openly delight in pain and suffering. The basis of the fascist ideology is not very compatible with the more well-intentioned conservatism
Kind of reminds me of me. I went from a /pol/ posting crypto-fash to a comrade today. Dunno if it's the same trajectory but it feels like it.
