I know I am in a bit of a dark place, but I need a place to doompost. I am slowly realizing that fascism is unbeatable as an ideology, ugh and where to start?
First off, conservatives remain unbeatable in the culture wars despite being the aggressor. All I ever wanted was to be allowed to mind my own business in peace, but the masses always need to target and harass me just because I'm different. Every day I am constantly told by the media, by the internet cool kids, and just from normal people that "Liberal bad, conservative good" ad nauseum. That I should be treated like dirt for not being white or straight. Sure, you'll see the odd pride flag, but that is pretty much social suicide and is an easy way to get marked as a pariah.
Speaking of culture wars, fascists clearly have the people on their side. Twitter, and most of social media is completely unusable because it's a hog hellhole. Don't even bother trying to talk to them, no matter how many scientific studies prove the races are equal or whatever, I've found that they don't want to hear it, they'll think of a smart-alecky insult to call you, and they automatically win. . IRL is full of hogs too, any time politics gets involved, it's only the CHUDs that talk. I don't talk because I really don't want to get beat up.
- Finally, we are totally outmatched by them. They have been stockpiling weapons, they have been training for decades before I was ever born. Look, I'm just an absolute scrub, I don't really like my odds.
EDIT: I've taken out a good deal of the unproductive defeatism.

One thing I give props to Bernie Sanders was that he kept his message simple. People understood what he was saying. Gotta get the message to the people any way any how.

Exactly. What wouldn't?
I mean, aren't we all tired of the gaslighting? And the material conditions are gonna get worse before they get better and you can't eat ideology :zizek-preference:
You gotta hit em with that Mick Lynch energy. The media apparatus is trained to make its interviewees crack and look insane, but Mick sends it right back, making the union side look ever more reasonable and correct against the whackadoodle mainstream media's barrage
yeah but our ideas are true and that lends a consistency

yeah obviously you should not be telling non socialists to read theory that's the socialist equivalent of that guy standing in the town centre yelling at people to read the Bible. Chuds would not be successful if they were trying to persuade people by getting them to read mein kampf. Theory is for the converted
explain the concepts you learned from theory to people when there is a natural opening for that concept in simple direct language avoiding using as many scary words as possible
